Would do it all over again if I had the chance!Ī frika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force, “Planet Rock” I’ll always remember going live on BBC TV and Radio 1 at the same time.
That bass (Si John) with simple rolling two-step drums and its dark jazzy mood, it certainly won over the critics, and especially when they saw it live with Dynamite MC and Onalee killing it onstage alongside the four of us and superduper Clive Deamer - it all made sense. And this is Bristol at its very best.Ī seminal moment in the new era of Bristol music. This record makes me proud to be a true Bristolian. Those strings are so emotional, the breaks hold that steady groove and the simplest of cuts and scratches make it an instant classic … and that’s even before the vocal has been introduced.

The intro, those chimes, the patience … and then it finally drops into the simplest of bass lines and the most unexpected drum pattern. When LTJ Bukem dropped this tune, the whole tent erupted! The three-minute melodic intro was nothing like I’ve ever heard before, but I knew he had something special in his dubplate selection, so I specifically made sure I was there for the entirety of his set in anticipation that he was gonna drop this classic at peak time. I remember hearing this tune for the first time at Universe Rave in Bath.
