Grand Theft Auto III - MSX FM (No Commercials)

MSX FM 101.1
Hosted by DJ Timecode and MC Codebreaker
Drum And Bass
Rockstar Games
2002
MC'd by MC Codebreaker and mixed by DJ Timecode, MSX FM is a station that plays Jungle/drum and bass music and has no commercials. The station is based on a pirate radio theme which broadcasts illegally across Liberty City. The station's FM frequency is mentioned to be 101.1, an allusion to the 2001 Moving Shadow mix CD mixed by Timecode named "Moving Shadow 01.1". The tracks featured on MSX FM are a subset of those on 01.1. MSX FM is the second favourite station of the Southside Hoods. It should also be noted that the game is set in the year 2001 while the station has the frequency 101.1, while it has the suffix "98" in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, which takes place in 1998.

Rockstar was really letting their Britishness show with this radio station. Was there a following for DnB/jungle in America back in the 90's and early 2000's? I still think of it as being a distinctly London-based phenomenon. I guess it's similar to how there are Yardies in Liberty City, even though they're also a London phenomenon.

[@benxdybarto]

Rockstar are a British company originally based in Scotland. First 2 GTAs. (DMA design - used to be Pysgnosis from Liverpool and made games on the Amiga / ST & C64 / PC). If you know your history. Obviously jungle is London, Bristol & Manchester which is born out of ragga / dancehall and US house / techno

[@TFDMarcDriftz]

Can any of you guys recommend tracks/sets similar to this one? GTA 3 and this set in particular was what got me interested in this era of D&B. Since then I've discovered Bad Company, I simply love their sets from 99-00. Same about Dom & Roland's Killabites compilation, which of course was another brilliant Moving Shadow release.

[@TFDMarcDriftz]

SickzorOne Nowadays it may be, but the live sets I've listened of Ed Rush & Optical, Bad Company, Andy C, Randall, Grooverider had MCs in them without exception. I'm definitely going to take a look at what you sent though, I feel like I haven't really got anything else to listen to, which is false of course. I seem to have explored the most relevant sets/tracks of each and every single era of Drum & Bass. 1998-2003 is possibly my favourite era of it. Dieselboy's Director's Cut is possibly on the top list of my favourites too, it's a shame there's no tracklist available for it though.

[@enigmaPL]

I don't understand peoples complaints about the MC. Granted it's fine it's not everyones' jam, but this was fairly common practice back in the day, and in my opinion, is just as great of a nostalgia blast. Think of it as providing on-the-spot-high-off-his-ass lyrics and doesn't bother me at all. Would the music alone be better without it? I'm not so sure, there isn't quite enough variation in some songs to stand on their own as far as I'm concerned. I'll probably get hate for saying that but go ahead, I'll be busy hitting replay. =)

[@throwaway1337ftw]

I actually agree with you about the MC. Still, the popular electronic music from the 90s and early 2000s is still way better than the shit everyone is brainwashed into listening to today imo. You're also right that these individual songs, while very cool sounding & catchy, aren't a masterpiece by any means (why do you think no one's ever heard of or remembers any of these artists?) If you want to hear music thats actual compositions of electronic sounds, go to Warp Records ffs.

[@throwaway1337ftw]

Damn, what a journey into the past! Was so pleasantly surprised to see some UK represent! on a video game destined for the US market. Sometimes, MCs can get very annoying repeating the same nonsense, but Codebreaker was sublime here. Also representing with a youf accent; not everyone in England talks like the Queen. I remember Americans asking if this was an actual accent in England!

I thought he was a Jamaican. :)

[@MotorcycleGearHub]

Multicultural London English (the MC's accent) has several influences, including Jamaican English. It's a very interesting accent; in my KZbin channel's videos, I try to control it but, sometimes, a couple of words just pop out from being accustomed to this accent. MLE is the sort of accent that's used by MCs since Drum & Bass evolved from Jungle, which was associated with reggae and dancehall (Jamaica) and then carried by Jamaican immigrants into the UK in the 1970s. Drum & Bass really has a lot of influences from all over the place (not just from Jamaica's music genre); Drum & Bass really has an interesting history to it and is continually evolving! #TheMoreYouKnow

Thanks for info.

[@MotorcycleGearHub]

You're welcome! If you want to hear true Jamaican English speech in a Drum & Bass track, check out Pendulum - Tarantula here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYu1Y6Njec2GjpY You'll hear words like 'blad" or "yuf" in the Tarantula track that are also used in MLE (i.e. the "yuf" or "youf" accent, which comes from the word "youth", as in the "young people" who use this accent in the UK).

In my opinion, GTA 3 is the creepiest part in the series. For example: an atmosphere that is creepy. The whole city is gray and unpleasant. In GTA 4, of course, the same thing, but there it does not get on the nerves. Secondly, the soundtrack. Personally, I just can't listen to Rise FM or MSX, while listening to them, I get some kind of paranoia. Thirdly, the main character himself. This dude is capable of killing anyone without even saying a word! It's as crazy as the game itself!

[@elgatogrande561]

It always seemed to be playing on MSX, and if not I always ended up hearing it while listening to the channel, as MSX and Lips 106 i changed between frequently. But when i hear that tune i remember being 5, probably staying up too late on school night, cruising around town in one of those black mafia cars as the sun was going down, eventually just a dark gloomy sky as i listen to this track which always seemed erie to me. Perhaps it was discovering a genre i never heard of before or maybe it was just the mood it set... but damn i never forgot that tune.
