ANDY C INTRO RAM @ MATTER 06/02/09 [PART ONE OF THREE]

[@ashtray314]

Maaaaaan, I have watched this so many times and get spine shivers every single time. Intro builds, he sneaks in Rock It, tunes drop and then out of nowhere he drops Hush Hush. Wooosh 😎

[@chinqlinq89]

I’m from California and fell in love with DnB 10+ years ago and still come back to this set. Still wish I was able to go to Fabric and Matter in person to see this shit live!

[@boltonbabe79]

It just gets better

[@pushthetempo2]

@chinqlinq89 you'll never be able to go to Matter cos it closed like 10 years ago. Fabric will be open for a long time though we hope! A dnb event there is an experience.

[@aidanlee8804]

@@chinqlinq89 The sound system at Matter was insane. Full body resonance from the Bass. Fabric room 2 used to be good. Now it’s full of sound limiters because it’s been close to being shut down for ecstasy deaths in the past sadly (in both senses of the word.) Corsica studios is the best in London now, especially the Rupture LDN label nights.

[@chinqlinq89]

@@aidanlee8804 that’s unfortunate. Red Rocks Amphitheater is legendary out here and got sound limited because residents living barely within eyes view, miles away, were complaining about the sound projections.

[@insay1909]

I still come back here once a year to remember the good times

[@boltonbabe79]

Saved as a favourite as it’s got to be the best mix of all time. Goldie loving Andy it’s hilarious 😂 as much as we do …

[@boltonbabe79]

You only get this emotion and vibe in small clubs festivals have not got the same edge

[@pushthetempo2]

@boltonbabe79 true that! Smaller clubs have better vibes for me. And better sound! Festivals can be fun, but often a bit hit or miss. I was at this night. So good.

Whoever recorded this with their cell phone, thank you. I've heard Andy C but seeing live video of him at work gives much more of an appreciation for his genius.

I hope all these years later you've seen him live? And more importantly that you're well an good.

8 years now man, time flies by. I was stood to the right in the back corner and couldnt believe what I was experiencing. These years were the second golden age of DNB for me, old school with just the right of new, when Subfocus and Chase and Status were on the come up.

I AM.BACK AGAIN SOME YEARS AFTER THIS PIECE OF HISTORY NEEDS TO BE WELL KEPT TO NEVER FORGET FIRST THE UNIQUE LEGENDARY MIXING SKILLS OF ANDY C AND HAVING THAT DJ BOOTH FULL OF THE ORGINAL DONS OF DRUM.AND BASS & JUNGLE THAT SHOW THE UNIQUE APPRECIATION THEY ALL HAD ON FOR THE OTHER. U.N.I.T.Y FULL MASSIVE RESPECT ❤ LONG LIVE OUR HEROES.

[@djmertz]

i've watched this clip several times at home now on a system that has no chance of doing the music it's proper justice... and even in that far less than ideal setup, the build up to the Machete drop still makes me go insane at home. I'm pretty sure I would have had a heart attack with that build and drop if I had been there to hear it in person. INCREDIBLE!

[@jonners69]

I was there in person and I can testify that it was insane.

Hold tight if you were at this rave and this intro still gets you gassed in 2013!

[@jcsquared1111]

As someone who traversed this planet watching this man lay absolute waste to 3 1200s being from NYC , I had no alternitive and he was truly amazing esepcially in that 07-2012 era.... CDJs just aint the same. Still love the music but nothing better than 3 1200s

[@sunhammer420]

>CDJs just aint the same Yea I was just thinking that today listening to one of his newer sets. The technicality is there but it just seems like he's playing on easymode, whereas a nice clean mix just hits harder on vinyl.. or a nice dirty mix, for that matter. It just feels more deserved, like some actual work has been put in right there on the spot in order to melt faces.

[@jcsquared1111]

Absolutely Slammin!! This is why Andy's been the ambassador for Drum n Bass tha last decade!

[@louisalden679]

Yoo, this was a fat Ram night. I was there. Goldie set was amazing as well. I always remember him poking his tongue out and pulling mad faces in the dj box as he was playing some crazy dark tunes. If i remember rightly, DJ EZ was in room 2 as well. Such a wicked event and venue. There is no tape pack for this one, but it would have been a belter

[@dallasmccutcheon2985]

I love this mix, the fact that Goldie tried to rewind a mix only Andy C & MC GQ could make awesome!!

[@djmertz]

I would pay so much money to attend a class on three turntable mixing taught by Andy C. I don't even spin drum n bass, and it's so blatantly obvious this guy is without a doubt amongst the best, if not THE best DJ of all time.

Who else was at this night?? Pretty sure it was Matters opening weekend. I also remember the mad dubstep in room 2, Caspa and N-Type played and Dizzee Rascal turned up unannounced to MC. So good.

It wasn't the matter opening weekend - that was in September the year before - but it was the very first of the bi-monthly RAM nights (alternating with Hospital records).

@mrmotive-Shimon hush hush is one of my favourites. definitely in the top ten drum and bass tunes of all times with The One, Alien Girl, The Pulse, Ra and Original Nuttah. ill have to think what else, any one elses view's please. i think rock it may creep in to it cuz its such an anthem

[@MrCentripetal]

that's how you drop hush hush !

[@dantaylor7344]

Agreed but this intro was over canned by Andy that year EVERY single set GQ and other MC's acted like they'd never heard it before, yawn I'd heard it about 10 times that year alone. Exactly the same opening three. It's good but for me a great DJ slips that sort of thing in once in a while not a factory production line is the same old thing,

[@DarkViIIain]

What else do you expect the MC to do? Get paid to not hype?

[@lewis9767]

@@dantaylor7344 I've seen Andy about 10 times and not 1 intro has been the same so seems unlikely that the 10 times you saw him he played the same. Lol. But never the less, sounds like an anomaly

[@deathbybob]

@bandwagonblues you sure (i dont have a xone 92 so im not sure) just basing that on what i hear... sounded like gains low pass would leave alot of bass which wpuld case rumble hence why i didnt think it it was that

[@lewball94]

2:11 is hush hush 2:59 is base cone Andy plays 5 tunes, not 4.

[@johnnymassacre]

Literally pushes off basscone at 2:49 and it's mixed by 2:52. 3 seconds. Before Serato this guy was the King, make no mistake. After Traktor and Serato, this dark art of club music basically died out.

[@bengreenwood1734]

Johnny Massacre how does he do that?? Just mad knowledge about where to cue tracks on vinyl?? That example you talk about above is just nuts. He must know his pieces of wax back to front

[@nikoladzhurov1800]

@@bengreenwood1734 that and he knows BPM of each tune by hearth 100% cause he lifts up the pitch way to fast like he is on digital but he isn't

[@lewis9767]

Andy is the quickest and cleanest beat matcher. But tbh the track was in and out so quick, it didn't need a permanent BPM match. You can see him quickly flicking the vinyl to temporarily keep it on time, because it was never on time when he first released it, he just had to maintain it for the 10 seconds the track was playing. That and the fact there wasn't any drums on the other tune, so if it wasn't perfectly on time, it would be hard to tell

[@IneenRoes]

It's all good with Andy! Look at the look on his face at the end: 'Oh, this is gonna be a good night!'
