I don’t usually comment on videos but the fact that you have mentioned the sample libraries jungle warfare got my attention because I used to work for Zero-G and I had the pleasure of working on that particular set of breakbeat libraries my job at the time was to create a REX recycled version of the library for Reason
@@STRANJAH An interesting fact is that the library includes the infamous Amen break I asked the owner of the company at the time why this was included given the fact that it is a copyright hot potato and his response was it wouldn’t be the ultimate complete breakbeat library if the sample wasn’t included
I've been trying to put some old school hardcore together myself lately. This is a great help, thank you. You've made a 53 year old ex raver very happy. Started in 89 and 91/92 hardcore days were some of the finest. Nice work. HardcorE will never die!
Respect to you man 👍 Not to be funny or rude; you've really paid attention and given this genre the respect it deserves, but nobody is ever going to get that true vibe of the 90s, due to the fact that the P.L.U.R has disappeared in the world. You've got the technical side down, and even the overall sound palette is superb, but there was just something about those that were there that made the whole vibe truly come to life. You have to make this stuff for the big rig, and the mind of the raver has all but disappeared from reality. Again, extremely good job and mad respect for keeping this style alive. A few good producers I'd mention are Top Buzz, Ratty, Tango, Jack Smooth, Basement Phil, Caspar, and Skanna, to name just a few. So many good producers back then, but also many awful ones 😂 Peace and love to you, brother. Keep up the damn fine work ❤
DJ Luna-C Kniteforce Records, still going strong! DJ Red Alert and Mike Slammer. Vibes and Wishdokta. The House Crew. Future Primitive. DJ Ham... Grew up with this sound.
As a raver from the 90s this speaks to my heart and soul. True RAVE music. Gonna have to try this technique out. Also Joey Beltram is a legend thanks for sharing the origin of that sample always wanted to know where it came from.
Weird fact, I started listening to electronic music in 2006/7 with daft punk, the prodigy and chemical Brothers. Then someday, I checked out The prodigy's catalog and the first two albuns (from their rave era) blew my mind. Even I conscious that the sound was kinda obsolete, I felt in love to the vibe and downloaded all the rave breakbeat tunes that I found on internet. Only after that I've started to listen the more recent stuff from the edm scene. To me personally, the must listen hymns of this era is: The prodigy - Out of Space, Altern8 - Frequency, and Acen - trip to the moon (all parts) there's many more but you can't go wrong with these 3 tunes. Nice recreation bro, you got the vibe. Big up for all the oldskool ravers!
For one long scary and lonely second, I thought that Stranjah might not do a dance intro to this video!?! Thank you Stranjah for keeping the dance intro dream alive!!! 🤣🤟👌
@@STRANJAH it's so great. Genius. Won a contest the other day in your ADSR steam so thanks for that as well. Great tutorials been learning a lot from you. Hope to release my first track this year. 🙏
Bro, you just brought me WAAYYY back! How simple everything about the scene was back then....except finding those secret parties with crazy checkpoints and directions! Good job!!
When you put that hip hop vocal sample on top suddenly white gloves and glow sticks appeared in my hands, my hair tied itself into a ponytail and all I was able to say was "Oi Oiiiiiii!"
Skanna is maybe my favorite producer from that era, he was ahead of his time in my opinion. Heaven is my favorite track from him, favorite old Skool track is maybe SL2 - DJ’s take control.
Cool man. I was 18 in 92 when hardcore started exploding around London and taking over from acid. It was mental and progressed so fast into Jungle. You're right about things being out of key and time and that was partly down to the technology, or lack of it. That's what made it organic and special. I was buying tunes until about 2000. It was more a soundscape back then and the tunes were mixed in all over the place. Once everything became sterile, too formulated and written in traditional songs structures, it became boring.
@@DjNikGnashers I know KFA was still going but surprised theres 100s of producers still making it. Where is the scene at though? All Hardcore events ive been going to in 20 years have only been Gabber and UK Hardcore.
My first encounter with Breakbeats was in 1992 »Experience« by The Prodigy - What a timeless classic. My Top 3 :) Awesome 3 - »Don't Go« (Original Mix) Ratpack - »Searchin for my Rizzla« The Prodigy - »Everybody in the Place« (Fairground Remix)
Love this stuff mayn! Sounds exactly like prodigy! I was born too young to get into the 90s scene but i still have this para-nostalgic feel when i hear something like this. Big up!
It's the way, is a great tune. I had a copy that was another tune called ya rockin that was played straight on top of its the way cos the two went together perfectly and sounded totally different. And dark soldier obviously. The no digidy Era was my favorite in the late ninetys
Back then, off the top of my head, Praga Khan's "Injected". Today, right now, its INGI - Fade EP ;) Big hardcore kicks followed by rhythm section. Fade is a sick track ;)
It was a good tune at the time, but I can't listen to it now, it's just rinsed to death. Fortunately there are tens of thousands of other great tunes which haven't been hammered, and can still sound fresh today !
Man you do make me smile. This is all so mad - an American doing a totally authentic how-to on UK hardcore circa 1992. I mean, it's almost as if you were actually THERE! How do you KNOW these things?! 🤔😁
Break beat hardcore is what happend to a lot of the first wave uk hip hop the likes of ragga twins and music of life artists, rebel mc became Congo and natty and hijack would move on to do speed garage and mc lethal from red ninja would grow up to be Harry shotta
Belter Mate! Give it some WELLY.... I'm 50 now lololol but that was my time, 1992 I was 21 and what a time it was to be young! Fave rave track hmmmm there are so many precious to my heart from back then... Beltram - Energy Flash Praga Khan - Injected With a Poison Manix - I'm Coming Hardcore Oh mate that list is endless......
For me my favs from back in the day were - M.N.O. - God Of Abraham, Messiah - 20,000 Hardcore Members and of course TTF produced some great tracks. There were some great tunes back then that have become classics.
@@TheCALMInstitute Totally agree, 21st Century Jesus was a great album bought it on vinyl back in the day and its still a regular play. Bought all the singles on 12" back then too and still love a good "Old School" mix session blasting them out.
@@ZONE6666 so I had a dig and they’ve removed the original album of TH-cam here’s a link to the discogs. Unfortunately you’ll have to search the releases in TH-cam of that. But yea this album got me into hardcore. www.discogs.com/Various-Hardcore-Leaders-II/release/89091
wicked video. if you want a great example of uk rave culture pre jungle then check out 2 bad mice "bombscare". thats a classic club banger that never fails even to this day. in fact Pearson Sound did a track last year that sampled that record.
😈😈😈 WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE BREAKBEAT HARDCORE TRACKS?
Jericho and Wind it up by the prodigy
mr. kirks nightmare
Euphoria, The House Crew
@@bryanmatthews5902 ooooh miss that tune
"Your Love" - The PRODIGY

That's me too 88-93 was the golden years of raving in the uk I say
up the villa!!!
Caught the bug as a 12 year old in 90, first rave was 94 - never stopped \o/ HTID
This sounds for the underground
Krome & Time - Slammer.
Remarc - one 4 da vibes
Hardcore will never die
yes there's resurgence of some 90's sounds
You are one of the only music youtubers that makes music in genres I care about. Super knowledgable and I always learn a new trick or two.
Respect to you man 👍 Not to be funny or rude; you've really paid attention and given this genre the respect it deserves, but nobody is ever going to get that true vibe of the 90s, due to the fact that the P.L.U.R has disappeared in the world.

Every body in the place lets go!
nice one Stranjah! 92-94 Breakbeat Hardcore golden era
Love this so much....
*Please also do bigbeat fatboyslim & prodigy please*
Awesome, made me feel really nostalgic. Also incredible what they where doing 30 years ago with such basic equipment.
Debuglive's video on Amiga samplers pairs perfectly with this
My first rave was Perception - Summer Celebration on June 7th, 1991 so this was such a blast from the past 👍
LIQUID - SWEET HARMONY!
DJ Luna-C Kniteforce Records, still going strong! DJ Red Alert and Mike Slammer. Vibes and Wishdokta. The House Crew. Future Primitive. DJ Ham... Grew up with this sound.
Ultrasonic, QFX, N:Trance and Altern:8 classic stuff
As a raver from the 90s this speaks to my heart and soul. True RAVE music. Gonna have to try this technique out. Also Joey Beltram is a legend thanks for sharing the origin of that sample always wanted to know where it came from.
Intro tune is a banger! My favourite bit you made for tutorial by far! Get on that hardcore flex some more fella
thank you Louis!! Much respects! Will do!
I first heard of names such as Grooverider, Carl Cox, DJ SS by listening to my older brothers breakbeat hardcore stuff in 90s

Next to Out Of Space, SL2 - On A Ragga Trip is a classic
For modern stuff in the same style, check out "Josh B" on TH-cam
Taking us back to the Old Skool, nice one Stranjah for the memories!
I'm glad we can all go back in time and enjoy the vibe!

Word up
@@vexathebassinjector It's never gone away.
There are hundreds of modern hardcore breaks artists that have been releasing tunes since the 90's.
@@DjNikGnashers okay but there aren't that many young people making it. And yeah I play a lot of the newer stuff out myself.

Glad to hear that!
Please make more videos like this! I'm getting back into making music and want to recreate some nostalgic vibes.
Will do!
Euphoria Nino’s Dream... probably the most slickly produced genre defining track of its time... nuff said.

thank you! surprised and happy for you to go on this genre!

Definitely make more of these
Sound of my youth right here. Thanks!
Red Alert & Mike Slammer ...arguably the best hardcore producers 92-94 ...Peak Era!
Best music genre ever
Well you know this gets my seal of approval!
I do appreciate it, since you are a little more attuned to the earlier styles!
@@STRANJAH 🤪
come for the intro dancing stay for the music tips
Back then, off the top of my head, Praga Khan's "Injected". Today, right now, its INGI - Fade EP ;)
Big hardcore kicks followed by rhythm section. Fade is a sick track ;)
One of my favourite hardcore/jungle duos is Harmony & Xtreme. "Love In My Heart / Journey Through Time" goes hard!
Omd I was waiting for this the other day😂
Brilliant as usual love your channel
DJ Krome & Mr Time are my all time favourite Hardcore Breakbeat Producers.
sl2 -way in my brain /djs take control straight classics. Quadraphonia was another
SL2 - On A Ragga Tip is all time favourite hardcore track
It was a good tune at the time, but I can't listen to it now, it's just rinsed to death.
Fortunately there are tens of thousands of other great tunes which haven't been hammered, and can still sound fresh today !
One million thanks for this video, it brings so many wonderful memories.
great to hear that, i enjoyed presenting it!
This is pure gold!
Great video. The vibe definitely brings me back
glad to hear that, oldskool vibes!
Excellent! Really takes me back. I've really gotten into your channel.
Loving that, I'd pay for that tune.
Slipmatt, Luna-C, Red Alert & Mike Slammer to name just a few.
Geneside 2 - nara mine, sacred- do it together.
That intro dance! Haha nobody can say they haven't seen someone just like that at a rave or festival lol
Glad someone got the joke!
STRANJAH heard my prayer 🙏🏼
Case 82 , Altern8 !
This is great!
I would love to see and hear your take on breakcore or raggacore, like Soundmurderer & SK-1 or Istari Lasterfahrer!
Absolutely killed it Stranjah!
OH SHIT!!! Insta clicked this... not even watched yet and my DOA brock out emoji hands are in the air!
hahah nice man!!
Old School Raver here. Nailed it!
This reminds me the early prodigy era stuff. You absolutely killed it
