Bought a copy of this in Toronto without listening to it (Lemon D = instant buy lol). I remember playing the 'Static' side until the halfway point before stopping it, imo it sounded like techstep 'by the numbers' if that makes sense. Flipped it over to find this gem! This should've been the a-side, light years ahead of the flip.
Lemon D & Dillinja - Static from 1998? I dunno man that's pretty fucking decent amen track. Always liked that track I can easily see why they made it the A side.
@@FreshLyte I think it came down to the reverb and processing on the breaks - some of the drum edits sounded a bit awkward to me. Still a decent 12" of course, if you like techstep you can play the A side, and if you need something a bit more 'atmospheric' / melodic you can play this side.
I always found it be an 'awkward' track to mix. Not really because of the breaks though it just fades weird to me (too fast). Anyway I miss the days when you had a harder track and something more chill on a flip side.
@@FreshLyte Whoah! Thanks for referencing "static" as the flipside to this! I've been searching for that track and that weird sample forever! Would you happen to know of an old jungle track that has a "baby, if you're out there" sample in it? I heard it on a Kool FM pirate radio tape from Christmas, around 1995.
as soon as that piano sample came in i was already sold dawg
holy shit
Lemon D has some sick tracks!
Think this is Dillinja with him as well on this one.
one of my favourites ever. one of those that i will always remember the first time i heard it and the feeling it gave me
when you thought a track had given all it could, and then that second drop comes... just wow... bigup the lemon drop
A soulful diamond when jungle was starting to get stale.
Drum editing at its finest
Lemon D lives on and on 🙌🏻

fuck this track is amazing
This is probably the most extensive use of the Funky Mule break. Holy smokes.
Amazing versatility 🔊🔊
One of breaks that works in a tear out or atmospheric track
Nothing quite like a dillinja or lemon d track
drumwork on smash
Du miel❤
