4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse - Drowning In Her (1993)

[@FlyCasual1]

I’m 50. Born in 1972. I discovered hip hop in the wave of 1983 and stuck with it religiously. Around 1988 aged 16 I heard a different sound. I ignored it, but it picked at me. Over the next 3 to 4 years I couldn’t ignore it. 1994 was a pivotal year for me. Aged 22 went to my first jungle rave and over the next few years dipped in and out but always was a hip hop head. I don’t think I’ve ever heard this tune before. I remember going into black market with money on hip, not loads, maybe a ton and not buying jungle, still buying hip hop. The shelves upstairs were awash with jungle white labels for peanuts. Around 1997 I discovered rhythm and sound and over the next 10 years I leaned more into dub techno and jungle,discovering Photek and source direct. I had been to the metalheads nights a few times and while I maybe didn’t absorb it all, I FELT IT. I started buying proper jungle 12s every now and again about 8 years ago. When I discover gems like these I put them on my Discogs buy list. This is dope. In July 2022 I listen to jungle 50% of the time at least. Soon I’ll have a go at making some. That is all, I felt compelled to tell this story. Peace , love and unity through music, roots and culture…👊

[@breakfreak3181]

Record shopping at Blackmarket (and Unity)....those were the days! Buying tunes, collecting flyers on a Saturday morning, then going raving that night! Wicked timed never to be repeated!

[@djshumon]

Born in 78 tuned into hiphop and raggae mid 80s was taken by the jungle scene in 92.gone back to oldskool breaks and popping and scratching.i do have all the 90s classic DnB Raggae and hiphop on vvinyl 😊

[@breakfreak3181]

@djshumon Born in '77 and still raving. Went to a night called Rupture recently. One of my favourite nights, its been going for about 15 years now. *Deep* underground new school jungle with some classics thrown in. Up for it crowd. A lot of older headz in attendance too!

[@thomassmyth65]

im 40, been into hip hop my entire life, my wife rediscovered jungle during the pandemic, and now its all I listen too, diving back to the 90s to engage in this cultural movement, I wish i could have been part of it when it happened, I taught myself to DJ and Produce just so I can be closer to this music, it moves me in a way nothing ever has, LTJ Bukem Atlantis (probably the best song ever made in the history of time lol) Nookie, Goldie, Roni, the list is endless. This tune has been spun many times in the last few years in my house. There is a pretty big community on twitch that came together during the last few years and Ive learned a ton from that crew, old heads, new heads, its just a good time, hell I even made friends with L Double, talked to Mickey Finn, El Hornet, Dj Slip, Strangah, to name a few. Im very greatful for Jungle and Drum and Bass, saved my life (literally)

[@B0NES1000]

@WaxerUK Waxer me old china. Yes its me mate. Great to read and see this from you mate. looooong time no link. Freestyle crew :)

[@daveybae46]

Only just realised its by Foul Play - which explains why its epic!

[@bluejackmedia]

Just an incredible track - such a perfect crossover - shades of hardcore, samples, the innocence of ethereal DnB (barely coined in 93) but with such attitude - the kind that would be furthered with jungle/darkside etc. Find this period in music so fascinating; everything moving at such a fast pace, many of the producers kind of teaching themselves, which is why (I reckon) this sort of stuff lives on - it carries the blind energy and enthusiasm of an incredibly motivated generation.

[@shoddycanary]

it was magic. busting warehouses, listening to stuff like this. never to be repeated. Peace.

[@breakfreak3181]

Spot on mate. Amazing times. So glad I was there when I was young and carefree. Now I'm a nostalgic middle aged cunt (official title, lol).

[@rebeccafisher508]

53yo here remembers (just about) some very naughty memories to this tune. Fond messy memories made Paradise, Telepathy, Roast, Labyrinth , roller, Rocket, Astoria, (breakfast club afterwards) and many more. Absolutely loved raving Hardcore,jungle back in the day lived for clubbing.❤❤
