15 minute songs were the best when djing at a house party. Grab a beer, go use the restroom, say hi to 15 more people that just arrived, smoke a bit off the joint being passed around, split a bean in two and eat both halves so they’ll hit harder, tell the annoying girl you don’t know that you can’t find “set u free” because you own 2500 records and you’re too unorganized to put everything in order, look for it anyway, eventually start looking for the next record you’re going to play that you bought on Wednesday at the drop shop, mix it in flawlessly and start to feel the pill kick in.
As much as I despise living in Florida, I am soooooooo thankful that I was here for the most amazing time in the music scene. The music, people, parties, DJ’s I was exposed to shaped who I am today & this song more than others is at the top of the list ❤️ the memories this track brings back give me the chills & instantly transport me back to the best times of my life 💫✨✨💫 I’m going to see Baby Anne, AK1200, Dara, Dieselboy & Deekline on the 30th I can’t wait!! I got to see Huda, Tony Faline, Keith Mackenzie & Dave London last year (they fucking killed it, the whole place went wild!!) Stanton Warriors will be here next month & I can’t wait for that! It’s so good after the hell the last few years have been for all of us to have this time again to just dance your cares away to the music that defined us as a generation ❤️❤️ long live breaks, jungle, drum n bass, electro, progressive, HOUSE MUSIC!!!
O-town was good to all of us in those days, bullshit and all… :) wall street, cyberzone, house parties, wandering orange ave…. good times and i’m grateful we made it through :)))))))))) take care of yourself:)
Anyone saying that Florida doesn't understand the EDM from '89-'93 is a total moron. We partied so hard in Orlando and Tampa that the ATF had to come in and put a stop to it. Kimball Collins, DJ Three, Icey, Rabbit in the Moon, the music stands on its own and there was nowhere in the country where breaks ruled more supreme than central Florida. We also had a secret place known as Simon's in Gainesville where the real crazies showed up to throw down. Florida was a 3 ring circus between SFL, Central, and the North. It's been over 20 years but tracks like this will live on forever.
I went to FLA twice last year. First time as an adult. Couldn't find any spots where I could find anything like what I'd hoped to see. Tough to think it would be the same, but maybe I wasn't looking in the right spots. I'd go back in a heart beat if I thought this could be revived. Heck, I'd drive, and it's 25hrs due south!
Dan, City of Angels, electroliners, there was some cool breaks from cali but it was mostly about rabbit in the moon/god within etc. UK and Florida was paving the way, excluding Bassbin Twins, which were in a league of their own.
DJ Jim Hopkins yes TWITCH Recordings with DJ Dan electroliners BassBin Twins.. Paul Tall??? . Art Mohag, Art of Mix, Michael Mecham The Dance Record store... Joseph Watt RazorMaid... Theeee Crystal Method! ..all west coast. ....Florida? DJ Icee, DJ Baby Anne 2 live crew, Dynamix rabbit in the murrrrn... for the most part after living in the chi... the souff is 10-20 years late... they were playing this in big west and northern cities waaaay before the souff side Also cotton club ... nujack! Let's not forget Aaaaall of the sampling!!! There would be no nujack if there was no Dynamix Florida Whudd up???!!! Thank you very much FullSail ... yep the skeeeelz to create.... haha
An era that unfortunately slipped away .....wayyy wayyyy to fast... this music was the backdrop to the best times of our life's and we didn't even know it till it was gone ...that time really now has gone..... following the way of the wind.....Thanks Bassbin ... Now play it loud ... let them hear this mighty Track ...for nothing today can even attempt to compare...oooooh let them hear this track .....the Twins are commin ....ooooo the twins are coming ..play it loud and when they ask what is this music????? say no ......this isssssss music....there's this and nothing else........play it loud .....play it loud........get your knees up and play it loud.......
I claim Florida. I grew up listening to everyone you mentioned. Plus I spent most of my weekends at the Beacham theater in O town. Listening to Kimball Collins. Amongst other great DJ's.
Bill Russell as did I Mr Russell.... and those of us who did, know what it means to have been there, done that. I’m not at all sorry for it either :-) Florida 90’s girl
This song is so good that my mom asked me the name of it. I’d blast it driving and drivers would also ask me about it at red lights--Atlanta GA 1997. Funky Desert Breaks CD.
oh yeah. fever, mass, Lonnies party's. can't remember name if club for after hours on pratt. those were the days . now we got all these fucked up festivals with idiots jumping around like fools infront of mixers. give them some 1200s and see how they fare.
Good God, this does bring back memories! Atlanta back in the late 90's. Snuck in the club that night.. Like everyone says, where did all the good music go?
1989-1993 breaking into warehouses blacking out every single window with hefty garbage bags. setting up tables and not coming up for air till 5 days later. i feel sorry for anyone who is not old enough to have had a chance to experience the scene in its purest form. when music was god and abandoned warehouses were our church. sorry FL kids im sure the music touched you too back then but if you didnt live in Seattle or down the road in SF you really never felt what it meant to rave. Peace&Love
ummm.... Jason, if you weren't in Florida from '88 onwards then you have no clue. Garth, Jeno, Hardkiss Bros., Dubtribe all were here from SF on a regular basis for years in Orlando, Gainesville, Tampa and elsewhere. Central FL was a large and thriving scene until the government cracked down on it in the mid-90's.
ive heard this a gazillion times over the years. heck I've owned a half-dozen copies of it over the years and I was today old when I recognized the Mi7 samples. (Rockin' Down The House)
Oh hell yeah, still got this fab slice of vinyl myself. First time I heard this at Proteus in Austin Texas I thought my head was gonna explode, in the best way possible! People sure did go nuts to this track. Awesomeness!
one of my favorite songs ever. Remember coming into one of the old "Conscious Groove" parties mid 90's in Los Angeles and this song was playing. wish i could go back.
Listening to a mix I recorded back in '95. And out of Stella Getz "Dr Love" the Hard Love Dub mix I hear A1 Love. Absolutely one of my favorite tracks to hear and dance to at the club. The light tech at the LIZARD LOUNGE would fog the main floor and then hit the strobes. I remember one tine while A1 was playing, I found a friend in the crowd and he put his hand on my shoulder and asked if I could help him get to the restroom because he couldn't see straight and the crowd was shoulder to shoulder. Took us 10 minutes but the time we got there there 5 of us who trying to get the restroom lol. Wild times.
Dude. I had no idea this jam been sitting here on the TH-cam machine all this time. Thought I was never...Ever going to hear this again. Barely could recall it it's been so dam long! Man... I think I've got the inspiration to work on Cardio now. HaHaa! My old arse can't move like it used to, but I can still groove at "low impact" level. LOL! Many thank yous for sharing! 💓🎶🎧🏃🏽
My friend Monty Luke described this on Discogs.com as "one of the most devastating breakbeat records of all-time". I totally concur. Totally sick track. I'm so lucky to have the original vinyl of this. An absolute classic! Thanks so much for uploading!!!
Have mint copy and could touch wihtin ten records of it on my wall of arond 3000 LPs I kept right now. Special time. We had it so fucking good. Seen BBT live in Sac like 98... Classic. SF born and raised, all the Hardkiss stuff, this, Oborough, Feaky Chakra... TUNE!!!!
Got this vinyl when it first came out, and still have it mint! Even with all the old party's i dropped it in South Florida and don't know how I got home!
It’s still going!!! It’s Ace Cafe now & the lineups have been SICK!!! I took a friend to see Rabbit in the Moon (his first time ever, he’d never even been to a house party like we used to have or a rave) he LOVED IT!!!
damn the memories to this beat! my first trip to orlando and firestone!!!! holy shit it blew me away. rollin down the road blowin UP! wow doesn't even begin to explain it. the new schoolers couldn't begin to understand this was one of many awesome beginnings for the life of the scene in the early 90"s!! HELLS YEAH!
why does everyone here claim Florida. im sure you were all treated to something special in those magical years but for us in San Francisco this was all day and night every day and night. These guys Jeno, Garth , DJ DAN , Doc Martin etc called SF home.
I think it's because of the influence of Funky Tekno Tribe, which was more musically diverse. Most folks I know that grew up in So FLA and didn't get to party in San Fran during the 90s just equate San Francisco with them. Honestly if I didn't DJ I probably still would have no idea how many classic breaks came out of there. Bassbin, Hardkiss, DJ Dan, Dr. Freecloud. to name a few.
Andrew Williams - We claim Florida because that's where we're from, and what we experienced. Same reason you claim San Francisco. Having also been a DJ in the 90's, I am fully aware of the scene and artists in San Fran during that time, and would loved to have experienced it first-hand. But that does not diminish what we had in FLA. Dynamix II, Magic Mike, Rabbit In The Moon, Icey, Noel Sanger, Stryke, Jackal & Hyde, and countless other artists and influential DJ's. It's not a competition. We were all a part of an underground movement that spanned thousands of miles. If you need proof of my respect for the SF scene, check out my video of Gavin Hardkiss at The Edge reunion in Ft. Lauderdale from a few years ago.
Andrew Williams Because "Florida "funky" Breaks" is the influence here. Created by Dj's in Florida and quit a few went platinum. Icey, Scratch D, Brad Smith, Rick West, Huda Hudia, Funk Lab, Angy Hughes, Baby Anne, Tony Faline, Keith Mac, Noel Sanger, Jackyl & hyde, Paully Fixx, Sharaz, Paul Santana, Chris Chraze, Just Frank I can name 100 more but all these are Florida DJ's who gave a name to Florida FUNKY Breaks. Artists like Kelly Reverb was from Texas but his music genre was "florida breaks". Same with Dj Trashy a badass mofo from Louisiana but they were part of the Florida Breaks influence. Below is a random post to help show how others view it. Posted from JC's Soundcloud page here is the NiteTown 4 Vinyl Rewind. Just about 5 hours of bangin ass breaks straight from Lafayette,LA on wax from 4 dope ass legends in my eyes to the scene of Louisiana Breaks that has impacted the Original FL Breaks scene aswell. Many respect to these guys and honored to share this with everyone. Below is quote from Johnny CaGe himself....
I was there too, bro! Interstellar Outback, Even Furthur, Mind Drive, Cyberjive, Detroit, Chicago, Columbus, Indy, St. Louis and the Superstars of Love', freaking acid, TB-303, woody mbcride, terry mullan, kevin saunders, plastikman, chemical brothers, fatboy slim, orb, orbital, acid trax, phuture, danny the wildchild, green velvet, basement parties, warehouse parties, after parties, balloons, hyperactive, Altern-8, Prototype 909, rob acid, hardfloor, basement jaxx, luke slater, joey beltram, human resource, dhs, unit-e, madd chiller, shiva, bucketheads, daft punk, 808's, 909's, and 303's forever!
cant forget Atlanta! haha.. huge tune in the ATL. You would here this pretty much every night at all the good club spots and proper raves... even loungier small-dancefloor spots like the original MJQ. it was a song everybody knew and would always destroy the dancefloor. the intro is so good to hear coming up on the system. the buildup.... early bassbin twin tunes were pretty much all perfect. im still hoping peter busts out his old sampler and makes some raw breakbeat tracks again. he is a true innovator.
Holy Sheepshit! Damn I wish I could be there for that.... a thousand miles away. Fuuuuuuun times we had in and around that old place!! Altered my soul forever.
It says something that this vid has 7k+ views in 1 year. By no means is it spectacular in relation to those featuring commercially successful artists or songs, but the fact that this many oldskool heads have taken the time to look it up makes my heart smile. Continue enjoying!
I tried so many times to spin this in western US back then. I was on a tear at the time l and I couldn’t believe that I could never get this to land. I just thought “too bad” and made them listen to all 12 minutes of it anyway ;)

certainly the USA's best act on that front.....
Mad respect to Bassbin Twins. This shit is on loop @ my place right now. Sorry neighbors.

This record takes me straight back to early 90s SanFrancisco. That was a special time in history for house music..
Not just Florida..SF had a live breaks scene too. Bassbin Twins originated in Cali..
DJ Dan killed and grilled the big breaks in SF/Funky Tekno Tribe days....
SoCal did too. I saw to that ;)
Dan, City of Angels, electroliners, there was some cool breaks from cali but it was mostly about rabbit in the moon/god within etc. UK and Florida was paving the way, excluding Bassbin Twins, which were in a league of their own.

You would here this pretty much every night at all the good club spots and proper raves... even loungier small-dancefloor spots like the original MJQ. it was a song everybody knew and would always destroy the dancefloor. the intro is so good to hear coming up on the system. the buildup.... early bassbin twin tunes were pretty much all perfect. im still hoping peter busts out his old sampler and makes some raw breakbeat tracks again. he is a true innovator.
Just by looking at the record i could tell by its energy it made history at parties. Before my time, im only 26
crackle at the beginning gave me goosebumps
This was and is and always will be amazing! White 🕊️ anyone
I hope and pray to make this list some day ;)
Ya'll DJ's remember when you could get a banger for 6 bucks? Ahhh, better times.
White labels for 2

This is a f**king quality tune! Shout to the Florida massive!
I will never sell another record again. Had this in my crate in '98
Oh yeah... loved this back in what some of us now call "the day"
:)
I would do anything to be at edge in the early 90s
Quality.... 1luv 😎..
This tune is so fucking Hard!
Edit - This banger was killing it here in London too, not just the US!
You are correct. I’m living proof, it was sic. People don’t even know.

It says something that this vid has 7k+ views in 1 year. By no means is it spectacular in relation to those featuring commercially successful artists or songs, but the fact that this many oldskool heads have taken the time to look it up makes my heart smile. Continue enjoying!
Keep the chambers closely guarded, we don't wanna pollute it. Keeping it underground...thriving surviving ..Love from India.🙌🙌

Playing this at the skate park all week and then of course all the bus rides elsewhere!
Makes me feel young again!! :)
Brilliant.
Yep. This was a major tune in the day. I'm lucky have a good copy.
I tried so many times to spin this in western US back then. I was on a tear at the time l and I couldn’t believe that I could never get this to land. I just thought “too bad” and made them listen to all 12 minutes of it anyway ;)
Ur nor old enough..lol

Also saw Jeno in hometown PDX, Garth was steller but Dj Spoon was my fav.
