Got many white labels sporting the big apple sticker used to get the 75 bus from Woolstone Road forest hill to Croydon miss record shopping especially at big apple
Wow! What a surprising upload. My fav dubstep track of all time is Jungle Infiltrator. Always knew the label was an originator but it's super cool to learn more.
Just went here a few months ago for my first time all the way from Aotearoa! This place was a massive inspiration to me all my life musically so i had to go, took the train from a place I was staying in Dalston.. What a journey it was & to hear people driving round blasting dubstep still, so dope.. Bit of a bleak place tho.. haha Much love
Pure nostalgia. Some great facts you’ve pulled up here too, the narrow squeaky stairs and the beasts they had as speakers downstairs were fond memories. I died when you mentioned Hatcha trying to flog the bottom of the pile 😂 it was his gift of the gab and those speakers that did it. Everything sounded fat on those. Thanks for this Darkside 👌
Nice one Lost! 🤣🤣 the creaky stairs were mega narrow! Great memories! Was fascinating seeing inside the building now. All those people being pampered in there in 2022 wouldn’t have a clue of the history that was made there. What a place! 🤝
Loving this series. I wouldn’t say it’s a priority as it’s a bit further down the timeline, but I think the dome deserves some credit for the legendary system nights.
Became mixing records after with j sweet, lively and blitz. Shopped there many a time, great bit of nostalgia and education. Terry was a proper pistaker as well 😂
Such a shame they closed in ‘04! Could’ve been huge during the dubstep explosion! Genre went down hill after big apple closed this ain’t no coincidence😅 fr tho what happened they go bankrupt or what? All these record shops keep going out of business man it’s sad AF. Big ups for this mini documentary tho!
history lesson AND a shot of frosted dj nips? now that's how you keep a class awake! 🧐 bigup darkside! thanks for these. as someone who'll likely never even make it to the UK but loves dubstep i really do enjoy these blasts from the past
@@GetDarker BRAAAAAAVE so brave. you got me sitting here listening to the commentary hoping and wishing your efforts really do get recognized and those blue signs get put up. there are some awful terrible monuments, statues and nameplates left up and protected memorializing the hideous sides of humanity, and then you got something truly wonderful that only exists in the hearts of a few. SO brave. id feel bad for the beauty shop lady but in my honest opinion they should've had the whole damn building bronzed and a huge banana peel in disco lights spinning from the top 🤩 🥳 accept these pitiful 'thanks' from me in the meantime, i guess! what you guys had fun doing as a hobby basically changed my entire perception of music of 40 years, and i deeply appreciate it 😍
Yo it’s tough getting proper dub out here in the US. I won’t disgrace by naming names but it’s trash. Thank you for posting I’ll be digging through for tunes.

Great work lads!! You're doing a great job preserving our culture! Long live Big Apple Records!! The memories shopping there and Wax City Records.

Smashed it bossman! Great feature. The crash zoom on the bowl of bananas was an inspired touch.
Hahaha cheers mate. I’m a natural 😂🍌

The tune for this series is a fuckin beast!!! Big up Distance each and every!!
Distance release this track yet? I’ve been scrubbing the depths for it
Wax City played a part early on as well

I wish I could have gone there in my life and picked up some old school vinyls
Wax City Records had tons of old school Jungle and Garage for sale it was like a treasure chest. Them and Big Apple were special places.
Loving this series. I wouldn’t say it’s a priority as it’s a bit further down the timeline, but I think the dome deserves some credit for the legendary system nights.
Absolutely! It’s on the list matey!! Hope ur well Ben 🤝
Once Upon a time in Croyden the Catmandudes check it out
Benga was a force on the decks. He used to cut em like EZ when he was into uk garage. Hope he’s doing ok now ❤
Darkside flying the flag for the real dub heads

1:58geez heavy 🔥 ID ? big up GetDarker keeping it real from day one!!!
Yo yo if you find the song please fill it in here! Need that distance exclusive
Such a shame they closed in ‘04! Could’ve been huge during the dubstep explosion! Genre went down hill after big apple closed this ain’t no coincidence😅 fr tho what happened they go bankrupt or what? All these record shops keep going out of business man it’s sad AF. Big ups for this mini documentary tho!
Great video ! What is the song used in it ?
A special exclusive by Sir Distance - no title
What’s the video music? Absolute 🔥.
history lesson AND a shot of frosted dj nips? now that's how you keep a class awake! 🧐 bigup darkside! thanks for these. as someone who'll likely never even make it to the UK but loves dubstep i really do enjoy these blasts from the past
Thank you! I really appreciate your message. Episode 03 coming right up!
Apologies for the frosted nips 😂🤣
@@GetDarker nah its all good brother!! now that its on youtube those nips just became *_FOREVER ETCHED_* into getdarker history 🤣🤣
@@KingRabid hahahahahaha I left at 5am to film that, without a coat!! Brave or daft decision? 😂
@@GetDarker BRAAAAAAVE so brave. you got me sitting here listening to the commentary hoping and wishing your efforts really do get recognized and those blue signs get put up. there are some awful terrible monuments, statues and nameplates left up and protected memorializing the hideous sides of humanity, and then you got something truly wonderful that only exists in the hearts of a few.

@@KingRabid that’s not a bad suggestion. They should brand the shop as “Apple Beauty” with a banana logo 😂 homage to the history! big salute mate.
good old Dubz 101
Any word on 03? Love seeing the history!
It’s 70% done. Your message has just kicked me up the bottom end to finish it.
@@GetDarker big ups! Been loving the uploads of the older tunes as well, thank you!
Drop it
Are the locations keeping the plaques up?
панка панка
🙌🏻✌🏻
How about you guys convince Distance to release the tune played in this video?
Hahahha it is a banger!!
Yo it’s tough getting proper dub out here in the US. I won’t disgrace by naming names but it’s trash. Thank you for posting I’ll be digging through for tunes.
I'll leave a like because I can't leave 13
Thank you! Appreciate it!
👏🏻🤟🏻
What's the name of the tune in the background?
A special exclusive by Sir Distance - no title
@@GetDarker Nice! 👍 Another massive tune 🔥🎧
If possible put it on youtube for the Dubstep community
@@BUDANO88 then it wouldn't be exclusive for these videos ;-) haha
True! Just thought I'd ask haha! Thank you
