Chemical Brothers, Roni, Prodigy and Fatboy Slim are my electronic Mt Rushmore. Just heard Roni playing a set in Dallas on Sunday and I gotta go even though I'm an old fuck. Cant miss it
I was lucky enough to see Reprazent play a live set at a festival near Bristol years ago. They were amazing. Best band I've ever seen live. The crowd went crazy.
Minus the somewhat dated television set. No wonder that woman wanted to get rid of it. She must all of a sudden have felt the need for something futuristic, heavily inspired by the music.
First time I heard this was at a party in Sheffield in 1997-8 visiting a friend at the uni. All his friends were together in a large dimly lit room and there was a DJ. It was post-acid house and rave era and people were serious about their drum and bass. The ragga had diversified into atmosheric and jazz and it was multicultural as well, Indian experimental stuff among others. The people were very friendly and had dreadlocks or crazy spiky hair and quirky looking baggy clothes with lots of pockets to hide drugs in. The air was thick with weed smoke and someone passed me a spliff the size of my forearm, which had buds in that crackled sweet juice when you inhaled. Everything looked like it was glitching in slow motion and I could hear the layers clearly separated in the music, surrounding me and washing over me. The DJ dropped this track and I was like holy shite wtf is this!!! Every single little hair on my body stood on end with the endorphin rush that went up through the back of my head and down through my arms and nose. I looked down at myself and realised I was no longer sitting on the floor smoking - I was now on my feet and dancing with everyone else. I'm so glad I was there. I do hope young people today have similar.
They do bro, just seen this on a drum and bass page, saying this was the roots to what we have today (dnb) so yeah man, I was 17 in 97' just starting the club scene myself. Memories hey👍
Austin metro, soap bar shotties, weed blunts. Ronnie size beating out of house speakers rigged up in the metro.. We live in the deepness of the country lanes and we got fucked on every drug and the times of freedom!

Big shout from America. What an artist from an amazing musical city Bristol UK. Loving Roni Size and other Bristol artists like Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, Smith and Mighty, Kosheen, Krust, Pinch, Allflaws
Late-90's was the electronic music equivalent of the late-60's into the 70's rock golden era; just the perfect confluence of culture, talent and art. We're still in the shadow of that era, nothing since it has had the same impact.
Right on man. It was the first vid ide ever seen and one of the first dnb tunes for me too. I was introduced to the scwne by my British cuz in about 94. Love it
Gary W-l-o-t That must of blown you away,I remember there was nothing like it in the main stream besides Goldie.I'm guessing your not from England then?I was lucky enough to be out Ravin twice,3 times,lol.a week and heard DnB evolve.I'm not the biggest fan of DnB but I have been listening to a lot of Congo Natty aka Rebel MC,check out his UK All Stars,Massive Tune.
The biggest Drum'n'Bass classic! The most incredible tune ever made in the DB scene... Great memories and feelings listening to it! Full Cycle Crew Rules!
Only someone that doesn't listen to much Dnb would say that. I've listened to Dnb almost constantly since the early nineties, I'm even listening to Dnb on pirate radio right now.. it's a great tune for sure, but i had to come here to here it again, because most DJs just don't want to hear it ever again 😅 basically, it was played to death, and slightly overrated. Other less commercially successful tunes gets more airtime on pirate radio than this, yet most people here have probably never heard any of them before 🤷 It's almost like he was taking the piss at the time, "rhythm made out of brown paper" sampling wasn't exactly new in the late nineties lol. I won't mention his best tune "timestretch" 😝 again, a title named after a production technique that was already pioneered a year or so earlier, if Goldie is to believed (yes, that guy that relies on others to do all the studio work) 😅
wow this brings back memory's of what Toronto looked like bacl in the 90's. Its unbelievable how much cars, clothing, accessories, etc have changed in a little over 14 years
Put this on in the car the other night, got goosebumps. I still remember seeing this video for the first time when it came out and it was the coolest thing I had ever seen. The music "dusty yet mechanical", the video matches it perfectly. This track survives the test of time.
well in the past yes... but ppl here in Denmark have horrible taste in music too much American pop music and rock/metal... early 00's I was listing to German Radio and they played this song and many other classics...
After hearing probably thousands of DnB albums still New Forms by Roni Size is my favorite, an absolute masterpiece in DnB (my #1 in my personal top ten dnb list) and in electronic music history. I have made people that don't like DnB have a listen at this album ,including this song, and they all have enjoyed it. It's 2021 and these songs feel like they are brand new, no matter if you want to party hard, chill or just drive around listening to something, this whole album will make you have a good time. I still have the CD and from time to time I pop it in my laptop or in my car, what a great feeling.
My two homes in one, England and Toronto. I couldn't remember where I knew this song from until I watched this video and remembered my late mum introduced it to me. She always had a wicked taste in music.
ive been to hundreds of concerts, seen all different types of bands. roni size's show for new forms tour still stands top 10 i have ever seen. their energy is just contagious.
Drum and bass has come back in force .. and for a Mandem I cannot tell you how happy it makes me. Imagine them bro’s that did original Amen break got royalties from this aswell lol
Love it! I saw it tonight (20/11/2015) at BBC4 playing life with Jools Holland. What a brilliant reminder of a great music. Got the goose bumps all over my body listening to this lol. 18 years since it was made and still going fucking strong. I love England for this simple reason that they make a lot of excellent music we all grow up with and love (Roni, Dj SS, Goldie, Massive Atack, Portishead, The Streets, Gorillaz, Carl Cox,Giles Peterson, Jamie XX, Blur, Leftfield, Future Sound of London,Dave Clarke, Eats Everything, Art of Noise, Pete Tong,Boards of Canada, James Blake to just name the precious few but still there's so much more, many, many and many more great musicians ☆ My world wouldn't be the same without them ☆
Id be very hesitant adding Eats Everything to that list of legends :/... you forgot Basement Jaxx, Cabaret Voltaire, Sugeon and Regis (actually there are loads more, come on england!!)
Took my first pill at Glastonbury 1999 dancing to Reprazent. Ahhhh you can't beat those kind of moments!!!! My life changed irrevocably and wonderfully in that field that night :-)
From the US AND I remember raving at my boys house in the 90's and trollin' to this. Great music from y'all in UK. Been on this style. 👺👽 Love u guys!!!!!!
Wow. 22 years ago. How time flies. I saw him live, along with the entire V records crew, at the Metro in Chicago. It was winter of 98. The Ataris were in full force that night. They rocked that place so hard I thought the stage was going to collapse.
I think The Wachowski brothers were influenced by this video when they made The Matrix. Roni Size was way ahead of the game. Brown Paper bag is a musical masterpiece. 👍🏾
Killer seeing late 90’s T-Dot (that’s what we used to call Toronto before “The Six” was popularized. Back then, you didn’t actually need to dial 416 before a 7-digit phone number in the city!) captured in this video. The “old” streetcar designs were iconic. We used to say that Toronto’s D&B scene was “second only to London”. I have no idea if that’s true… but it certainly felt awesome to yell it into a fellow Junglists ear while standing right next to some bass bins in a dingy warehouse or basement 🤣
It’s some random night in ‘97. I’m just chillin enjoying the high, watching MTV at like 2am... Then this video comes on and absolutely *blows my f’n mind* That was the introduction to DnB life blessed me with.
My friend Yoshi worked at record shop back in 1998 and showed me this here in Arizona and I loved it.. that’s also when I fell in love with Aphex Twin and Boards Of Canada
wow- havent heard this since 1999. I remember getting the cd in Oxford street and listening to this on a discman travelling home on the tube. What an exceptionally creative era for British music, that whole mid nineties to early 2000's.
@@utd4theleagueutd4theleague17 Gotcha. Still cool that TO was picked, and not MTL or VanCity, where there were stronger house scenes at the time. Thanks for the reply!
met him recently here in Houston. brought this album cover with me for an autograph. I've had the album since it's been out. glad to see him still out there and shook his hand and spoke a bit.

No other cd was cooler to listen to while walking through hk. Mid levels during china takeover. Best purchase ever from tower records kawloon. Thank you.
That moment hearing 'Step to tha Rythym made out of brown paper' still blows my mind and makes me want dance like a nut, 20 years later. Sonic masterpiece.
Reprazent was the first official drum and bass Album I had when I was 12 I think on cassette or CD, this track is now a classic and sounds just as good as ever !
That bassline, forever burned into my head as are the nights in Fabric bouncing to Roni and all the legends from back in the day..
Yes - and Metalheadz at the Blue Note!
1997 was an incredible year for music...Roni Size...Radiohead...Verve...Spiritualized...Chemical Bros...Prodigy...Primal Scream...

Well, technically it is the past, but I get your point and agree. Although not D&B, my favourite group Eat Static were great in the 90s.

Their music is still modern
I haven't heard this track for 20 years, and it's still good! BOOM
The 90s were such a melting pot of gorgeous music, and I think early jungle and drum and bass played a massive part in that
Call me crazy but the 90s was music at its peak. Every genre was at the top of their game
@@mar15115 it was electronic music certainly. Still things are pretty dope now so it's all good
@@mar15115 70s was the peak
New Forms was a life defining album. An instant classic.
Agree, the whole concept was original. Together with Daft Punks ”Homework” and Kruder & Dorfmeister ”K&D Sessions” and many more...

The fact that Roni Size chose to set this video in Toronto says a lot about the thriving DnB scene that Toronto used to have.
Really? Well it only existed there 'cos of it's birth on London pirate radio. All the D&B pioneers are from the UK.

MUSIC IS THE ANSWER
Love that bassline so much
No other cd was cooler to listen to while walking through hk. Mid levels during china takeover. Best purchase ever from tower records kawloon. Thank you.
and I have been like- You had it on CD? - strictly MAXELL CROM
the first vinyl i bought in my life
I never got the lyrics, but love the track. Roni's rapping is really good too, fits perfectly.
This video is shot in Toronto? Woop Woooop!
Classic track. A drum and bass delight. Still spine tingling. Never get tired of this one!!
Roni come back to us :))))))))) . Remember all those early 2000's Exit festivals in Serbia - THE BEST !!!! :)))))))))))))
Finally!
*I've been looking for this song for ages.*
That moment hearing 'Step to tha Rythym made out of brown paper' still blows my mind and makes me want dance like a nut, 20 years later. Sonic masterpiece.
Roni Size is a legend in Detroit. Even to this day, huge royalty!
straight out from Bristol 🇬🇧
This tune is future proof.
Ever since the EP dropped, I keep coming back to this track.
Seen this live at Glastonbury dance tent in 1997. To watch it was an experience. It was the best set still to date 😎
Dam this brings back memories of the good days 😪
MEMORIES!
You've given me some great nights Ronnie at the raves with the smarties and the baseline.. Back in the early days it has something special.
Fuck Yeah!!! Thank you for putting this up! Good times...
Reprazent was the first official drum and bass
Album I had when I was 12 I think on cassette or CD, this track is now a classic and sounds just as good as ever !
All time classic :-) !
If you didn't have this vinyl in your crate, were you even a real DJ?
