Although I never met him, the numerous people that have spoken highly of him says it all. I can't fathom what Jungle might have been without this guy. Thanks for cutting those dubs for the DJ's I grew up listening to in the 90's and beyond. Gutted the scene has lost another great. RIEP Leon and thoughts are with his nearest and dearest 😢🙏🏾
Leon should be given an Celebratory Reward /Accolade by the British Music Scene. As he’s Mastered and influenced awhole Genre of Music and not been given the respect he deserves. Without Dubstep No Grime Without Drum & Bass / No Jungle. Without Jungle no Music House! Bigup LEON & Family Music House🙏🏾🔥
Literally gave his life to the mission of music - gutted for you and your family Leon, and thank you for helping to make dreams come true. You helped us bring the R1 Ryders project to life. RIEP
Thanks for sharing this bit of UK history. We meed more content like this. Just seeing the equipment from the legendary music house 🏠 was awesome 💯 R.I.P Mr V.I.P🎉
RIP to Leon and condolences to the family. I miss going to Holloway to cut dub plates, and in Tottenham. I’m so glad I was around to witness Leon and his dad at work, I was young back in 2000, I was 15 or 16, when I first went to Music House, Garage and early Grime days. I will cherish my dubs and never let them go. RIP to Leon, best in the business. 🙏🏾
I was one of the unlucky (but really actually very lucky) youts in the corner who would have to wait hours and hours to cut my one little dusty tune while rider, bryan g, doc scott ect would be cutting for hours on end. I was a fly on the wall from Toronto on my ones in Music House. Nothing but love for Leon who used to take care of me. Big respect. This is essential history that needs to be preserved. Lush.
what an amazing period he was able to be such an important part of, would have loved to have been present for a cutting session back in the heyday. RIP LEGEND
Rip Leon. Only met you a handful of times. You were always really kind and helpful. Such a nice guy. Thankyou so much for cutting my dubs. Your knowledge was incredible!! You will be greatly missed. But, never forgotten ❤️
There should be so many more glimpses behind the curtain like this, before the people and equipment that built entire genres are gone. Producers should do a reveal of their in-studio secrets at most 20 years after the fact, to help raise the bar and inspire the next generation to push the technology available today to its limits. Fantastic interview and documentation of such an important spot for the jungle/DnB scene. Thank you!
As someone who has lived in NYC his whole life! Cannot thank him enough for providing this service to spread the knowlege beautiful sounds of jungle DnB!! R.I.P.
know him and his Dad real genuine nice people,really really hit me for six when I heard ,used to go Eden Grove 97 - 99 and Leon always made my plates sound wicked 🙏
Great piece of film. I visited Holloway Road three times in 1998 as a total nobody. Had to wait for hours but was always treated with total respect. I don't know 100% if it was Leon i was cutting with, probably was. One of those times i was sat in there when Grooverider walked in the studio started joking about and flicking through all the DATs. i just tried very hard not to stare . Luckily Leon was already cutting my tune, so i didn't have to leave! Memories like that are precious.
sitting and waiting at house was part of the whole experience I would smoke a lot and just listen to all the plates being cut that was the vibes the time was the time so blessed to have been involved and part of it I'm going to go and cut in the next few weeks now :)
Damn takes me back to holloway road cut my dubs before running round the corner to Kiss fm. Big up Paul, Chris & Leon... Who remembers the mad butcher man next door
Hi my name is Sara I'm the producer on the Renegade Hardware documentary There's a big section on music house in the doc as it played a massive part in shaping the scene and your interview video with Leon would fit perfectly in the documentary If you could help us out with some shots we would credit you and your company. This documentary is going to be shown all around the world and played in the Genesis cinema later on this year. Hope to hear from you soon!
Mate, sad times. What a lovely and knowledgeable man, can tell from just the one look he was proper. Blessings to his family and friends, thanks for sharing xxx
Thanks to you Tee Bone I got to work with Leon in 2018 coming all the way from the Caribbean and on such short notice. I appreciate your effort and will never forget the wonderful experience! RIP Leon!
RIP Leon sad to hear hes gone, condolences to his family. This documentary brings back memories of going to music house waiting in excitement as a young boy to get your dubs cut. The whole family experience everything he said was spot on about the vibes there, that was what networking was like back in the days. Fantstic footage Teebone 🔥💯🙏🙏🏾
Very sad news, RIP Leon. I still remember back in '99 making my trip down to Holloway from my small market town near Oxford to get my first ever dubplate cut at Music House, being excited and slightly intimidated! Waiting, CD in hand, hoping you didn't get thrown out because your music was shit. I remember being asked what my music was called, as there was a few of us trying to recreate the oldskool hardcore rave sound of the early 90's. I just called it "new oldskool rave music" (later it become known as Hardcore breaks or Nu-Rave), and he said he liked it which was amazing to hear. Still got my dubs here now. Got another few dubs cut to give to people like Ellis Dee and DJ Flashback, and went from there. Music House is such an important part of UK rave culture - big up Leon and everyone involved in MH.
This is such a beautiful video. The love of the music shines out of it. Real music. Most people will probably never have heard hardly any of the stuff these dudes have produced over the years but let's not forget how influential it is across so much EDM and pop music today, so in a way they have. Respect.
Rest in Paradise Leon 🕯.. remembered Leon back in the day ..Eden Rd (Holloway) as a young youth coming into the sessions.. yes yes "Music House" :) Bless to the family, Btw Bigup Chris...you mastered a few tunes for me! :) Thanks for the upload! bless! 🙏🏾✨💚
Big thanks to Music House. An institution, community, and core service to underground music! Great memories and experience back in the day (1995-200) making acetates/ dub plates. A proper underground service and experience in Holloway. Long live the advanced queue to gettin' ya prized dub plate. I remember the WTF faces on the change to cutting our non DnB & Reggae sound which tore through the 'dentist' waiting room lol. Never a dull moment. :) Cheers Leon & Paul. Keep up the great work, good to see you still enjoying it, and hope ya going well. Jon (Captain Tinrib), now in New Zealand!
I once went to Music House on my own from Birmingham with my one Drum & Bass tune in the late 1990s. Looking back, it was a really crap tune called 'Shit Happens'. I got there early and waited at least 4 hours. But DJs that I respected a lot like Grooverider, Hype and DJ Zinc all came in. I was a bit star struck. Loads of people were coming in and asking for presses of tunes. I thought I would never get in, but they were respectful as I was the second person in. Even though I was a nobody they pressed my tune. They must of thought what the hell is this. Anyway, it was a great experience. It is a shame that the dub plate culture within Drum & Bass has all but dissapeared.
Rest in power Leon. Lovely guy. Cut my dub plate for Champion Killah (Iron Mic) - always really helpful and had a real chilled vibe. A true Master at Work. Peace and Love Leon
This is fascinating, thanks so much for posting. I remember listening to Grooverider, Fabio, Randall and all those guys on Kiss always talking about having dubs cut at Music House and I didn't have a clue what they were talking about back then. So pleased to see this niche industry still alive.
Bless. Sorry to hear, sounds like a real genuine guy there. Only got a couple of Music House dubs, so happens I ordered dubplate classics 2 weeks ago too, can't wait to get it on my deck! My condolensces to the Music House family & thanks for making the vid. Nice to see behind the scenes
Absolutely Brilliant I love watching documentaries like this, just hearing all the names and waiting for a story or two. Would love to hear more about the garage days too. Talking garage I've just started to build my vinyl collection again and Leon's prophecy is right, tunes I bought first time around for £6-8 now £20/30 madness.
Amazing video amazing interview. So fascinating to hear this lesser know part of the scene and it's history, thank you for making this. What a lovely person Leon clearly was.
Oi I'm so glad I stumbled on this. I missed out on a great era. Swear down I used to look at the scribing on the inner of my vinyl, blatantly saw Leon's signature on quite a few 😎
Teebone, this interview is so good, thanks for filming/posting this. 🙏🏼 I only watched it for the first time a few months back and just watched it again. 😪 Very sad to hear of Leon’s passing, one of life’s genuinely good people. God rest his soul. ❤️🙏🏼😪
Had to come back to this to pay homage. Rest in power Leon.
RIP Leon!! Thanks for everything you have done for the UK music industry!!

Thank you appreciated 🙏🏿
Leon should be given an Celebratory Reward /Accolade by the British Music Scene.

Without Dubstep No Grime
Without Drum & Bass / No Jungle.
Without Jungle no Music House!

Jungle was first.
And so was house. Techno - House - Acid house - hardcore - Jungle - DNB - grime. so many sub generes inbetween.
RIP. Never met you, but appreciate all you have done for music
RIP. Undeniable influence on UK music ❤
RIP Leon Chue - Legendary. And thank you, Tee Bone, for recognising the importance of making such films.

@@ПётрПавловский-щ1х , sad news of Leon's passing.
There should be so many more glimpses behind the curtain like this, before the people and equipment that built entire genres are gone.

Fantastic interview and documentation of such an important spot for the jungle/DnB scene. Thank you!
RIP. Did not ever meet Leon but he was an essential cornerstone in the culture.
RIP.. never knew Leon but grew up on the music that he helped bring into the world
As someone who has lived in NYC his whole life! Cannot thank him enough for providing this service to spread the knowlege beautiful sounds of jungle DnB!! R.I.P.
know him and his Dad real genuine nice people,really really hit me for six when I heard ,used to go Eden Grove 97 - 99 and Leon always made my plates sound wicked 🙏

Even if you never met him he probably made your night in a club with out you knowing it.
Rest in Power friend
