DJ Trace - Caves - No U Turn - NUT 021 (1999)

[@TheClosetGamer]

Found this on Vinyl at the goodwill 2 weeks ago. It was $0.25, and well worth it.

[@1oneguythat]

good idea

[@smirdymer2]

You lucky

[@koncreteto2758]

most of them are dirt cheap now , its only the well known ones from this era that end up worth alot , there all worth nothing in reality its just the collectors thinking its uber rare stuff , when the entire catalogue is available digitally it makes them worth like what you payed (:

[@executivesteve]

@@koncreteto2758 A copy of this one in decent condition will still net you the guts of 10 euro, which for DnB from 1999 is nothing to be sniffed at really. This era hasn't really had the speculative discogs mania that sent all the 94-96 stuff soaring price-wise yet, but it won't be long now imo. Can already hear hints of this sound creeping back in some of the new releases, including the new Kid Drama and Trace stuff.

[@judsonsnell]

LOL that's Trace, man. He just let shit ROOOOLLLL. Maybe like the same break and bass for 64 bars straight while he works like ONE filter. Either the drugs used to be better, or maybe it's good to let a tune breath. I played the fahk out of this.

Yeah not like how it used to be done. Like when we took over devils dyke back in 2014! Police turned up, saw 2000 of us pickled off our nuts, then turned straight round and walked the other way. They wanted none of it lol! Those were the days!!

that's a shame the "hi" part is not so well treated as the "bass" part. Sounds like a bit dampened, even the 12" is... But what a track, love it!

@@breakfreak3181 i got this on vinyl and several other no u turn stuffs(from this era) and i can say it is their sound. all of my collection got this kind of "dampened" high , i guess it was intentional, going full dark :)

@@rumli_0 I bought loads of the early No U Turn plates......it was one of the labels that was running tings BITD! A lot of the pressings I have don't seem to have as subdued a top end and muted mid (on the snare) as this one....as I don't have the original it's hard to tell whether its just the quality of the upload or intentional in the original track.

@@toxicrhythmz3718 you don't have to understand. You're not me. I've owned this tune since it's release. Used it in my second mixtape. That mix wouldn't have been the same without this track however it hasn't aged well in some ways and for me it's because that ride just never lets up. It needed variation. But it's still a Moody asf tune and to be respected. I'm not at all shitting on this tune. Just sharing my opinion in the comments.
