Kemet Crew - The Box Re-Opens

2:36 Best Part of a Jungle Track. Take me back in Time to the year 1997.

[@TakeMeBackPirateRadio]

This tune ruled London's airwaves and rave scene back in the day. Unbeatable sound!!

What a fantastic tune 👌

[@pkpckls]

As a kid I first heard this crackling through an Aiwa midi hifi over the North London airwaves in the 90s and ever since that first listen it's stuck in my head as of one of the rudest tunes ever made. Absolutely militant beat

[@maciejgorski6981]

if you want another dirty tune, check out Deviant (or Deviant too cant remember which) by the advocate. Best DnB tune ever. Even the rude boys gonna give you a nod on that on.

Tuuuuuune! Dread Bass, Amens, a cheeky film sample (Hellraiser) and then that break down you needed so you could take a breather after shocking out so hard! You can't go wrong! I remember dropping this at a b'day party BITD for non-junglists. They weren't impressed. I was though, lol....I had been playing house all night so I slipped this in for me!

[@fusion01wp]

Haha too funny mate

[@chrisgraham2686]

This is my ultimate favourite jungle tune. The reason I started DJing, to here you sum it up so well was like listening to my self say it. This tune means everything to me. Respect bro! The rushes though! Only people who lived it will know ;).

[@breakfreak3181]

@@chrisgraham2686 Respect rudie! Yeah man, those days were the best. This riddim still bangs hard after 25+ years! Big up!

[@MemoryLaneCinema]

dread bass? Is a bass called that? Warp bass rather.

[@breakfreak3181]

@@MemoryLaneCinema I never heard it referred to as warp bass. It's actually just a reversed bass stab. They didn't actually need to reverse it, just use a long attack on a synth, but they were using samplers not synths. For a short time it was referred to as dread bass after a certain banger on Moving Shadow, but I'm sure people referred to it as different things.

I have been listening to jungle since day dot, but i know a younger who says dred bass by ded dread is the most perfect example of proto dubstep ever. I dont hear it but he obviously does maybe because he is younger, but it doesnt matter, we all hear what we are gonna hear.

[@tenebrissubterra4596]

This was produced by sam gordon and he was only 18 at the time. Go check out his other tracks, he goes by the name missing. Tracks like rewound riddims, a Stitch in time, explicit lyrics and back to consciousness

[@tenebrissubterra4596]

@@subconscious.com_usa6691 No, it was written by Sam Gordon and mixed by him, them mastered by mark Ranger, for the champion jungle sound album, the kemet crew was a collection of artists. The box re-opens was a one man mission. Ive talked to Sam himself about the complex amen patterns and samples. Stephens was apart of the kemet crew but had no hand in the production of this banger.

[@subconscious.com_usa6691]

​@@tenebrissubterra4596 sorry buddy you may be correct, i was just going by this link to Human Being ‎- The Box EP it has the box re opens on the E,P as a b side,James Stephens has obviously stuck the track on his E.P as a remix, considering their both kemet members and the box re opens is a rework of James Stephens original track the box opened from 1993.www.discogs.com/Human-Being-The-Box-EP/master/1580206
