nearly a decade on and still sending shivers down my spine

[@edgenose8268]

Came back to this track after a global pandemic. Gives me goosebumps

[@nebakanezanebakaneza5946]

This track blew my mind and got me hooked on Dubstep way back when. The Ape has returned to his home planet, he will be missed.

[@DeeplyRegarded]

One of the 1st dubstep songs I heard and still one of the best years later.

[@chernobylcoleslaw6698]

15 years after hearing it I've never encountered something like it.

[@jonathanross556]

Truly a revolutionary song in electronic music. I'm still coming back to it 15 years later too!

Stone?

Shall have that same "Karmatic" stone thrown back at them on some prophetic shit. Spooked me when I 1st heard this very song and vid 15 yrs ago... that message aged like the finest wine didn't it 😳

This track does not suck. This track makes me move in my office chair. This track takes me out of here and brings me in another dimension. I am not high, I am an education coordinator. And I am loving every beat...Shhh, just listen well...

[@noshmootie8853]

13 years later. This tune haunts me.

[@tifius]

kode9 and the spaceape are probably the best paired artists I've heard. MASSIVE!

[@Gatsu289]

rip spaceape

[@saltronica]

This is real dubstep. People need to start making this again.

[@thewitherchannel1053]

this track is the one that opened my way to the Hyperdub label 10 years ago, what a discovery

[@thisisdegrad]

bro, here is why it is. kick on beat 1, snare on 3, classic half time dubstep drums. heavy emphasis on sub bass, which I doubt you can hear on skullcandies but ok. you have a dread MC in the middle of the track, a classic wartime sample used in an ominous way, and, oh, it even drops at 55 seconds for the BROOOOOOS. more importantly, the vibe. that should say it all really but tbh there are plenty of technical aspects to this piece which characterise it as dubstep. Proof.

[@bagofrandom]

this is the one. keep coming back to it. legendary. especially wit lee perry on it.

[@BuckieTronik]

(As long as I can remember) I think this is the first video I watched on KZbin...

[@Resonatick]

Rest In Peace.

[@killerSkeleton]

I love how the song and the video makes everything sound dark and futuristic. The video is very creative also, I love it. So unique.

[@VCJS31]

Legendary Dubstep track!

[@JackWMS14]

It has a great dark Massive Attack vibe to it.

[@alienatorx]

I fell in love in dubstep since i heard first track of this kind of music. This piece is marvelous!!! can't stop listenin..

[@DigitalMadrigal]

Everything about this music video is genius. Director deserves props. Great song and lyrics. Hyper dub is a great label.

[@acidman909]

One of the best track from Memories of the Future. Btw yesterday I watched first time Seven Samurai by Akira Kurosawa (great movie). I didn't know that sample in this track is from this movie

[@phlubblebubble]

Watched this video over and over back when I first heard it in 09. Still here, apparently.

just a dirty grimey american here who heard dubstep for the first time a week ago and love this shit. Tis wonderful...

[@jakobrotloff595]

where can i get the version with spaceape lyrics? all the ones you can download are without them. nobody seems to notice that there are two versions and the one with spaceapes lyrics (we hear in this video) is so much nicer.

[@phlubblebubble]

Check out "Addiction" by Kode9 and the Spaceape. This is a mix of the two tracks.

[@WildBassfly]

RIP tonights spent listening to none but spaceape

[@1dot6180339887]

that effect on Spaceape makes him drip over this song like a malevolent sludge.

[@janwillemkers2923]

LOL!! UK bass is an umbrella genre involving grime, dubstep, nu-jungle, UK-garage, bassline and even fidgethouse, whilst a "gem" is a jewel. About the proof: Skrillex began producing in 2008, this song was released in 2005, and I rembember this being a dubstep hit back then. That was even before the advent of the original filthstep, wich Skrillex is a pop-version of.

[@OGDAVIETMAN]

I really love this kind of music , it pump me up

[@incantar]

@urbanvibrations its from akira kurosawa's film 7 samurai. The song is called 7 samurai suite by Fumio Hayasaka and the sample starts 49 seconds into the track. you can even get it from youtube title is seven samurai - movie music. v=HqtTPxWzjk4 bassline is very familiar too.

[@korin300]

OMG This is actually the original dub-step!

[@NIK0R45U]

It's blatantly never gonna go commercial, there's not enough vocals. It can never become stale and watered down. Its already spread worldwide and this is beneficial for the scene. Some of my fave producers atm are French. I dont get people who wanna box their little scenes into London and keep it there. It's all about progression.

[@HKSarkdog]

I remember the first time I heard this I didn't enjoy it. Now I fucking love Kode9. Quantum is another great track on his album Memories.

[@Radobilly]

Uaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!! Need this in high quality!!!

[@mastarasta77]

besides the track the video is incredible. These two match each other perfectly...

[@KochuJang]

the instrumental (trumpets mostly) sample comes from "Shichinin no samurai"

[@seanp9915]

for example, the garage style of skream and benga's "The Judgement", Mala's jazzy "Blue Notez", Mark Priitchard's absolutely beautiful "Heavy as Stone", all contrasted with the rawness of Coki's "Spongebob" or say, the bumps and wobbles of Kromestar's "The Buddha" or maybe the darkness of Skream's "The Shinein". Diversity is key. That's what allows a music scene to thrive. That's why brostep has had its day and Uprise Audio are currently climbing the beatport chart. They adapted.

[@thebenanderson]

This is great. A great combination. Liking The Space Apes contributions. Hes got that deep tripped out type style a bit like Roots Manuva, Maxi Jazz, Tricky, AllFlaws

[@Quickesttime]

Grimest drop of my life, this song gives me goosebumps

[@Recklessness89]

I accidentally the whole song.... This is far the best thing made in the complete human history... After the next world war where human beeings are going to destroy this planet, somehow a single vinyl with 9 samurai on it will fly through space and some random aliens will pick it up, listen to it and will live in perfect piece together forever...

I wish I lived in the UK if this type of dubstep is still alive

[@theburden1]

Another great track with an insane video awesome!

[@minimalist34]

@supasupanigga I watched seven samurai the other day and heard where kode 9 got his sample from.. it just amazed me even more! pure genius

[@molecularist]

hearing this on proper subs just kills the whole room. feel the bass in your spine.

[@AnubisEvalyna]

What's with the people sending comments who don't like it? Will you all please get a life and enjoy the music! You shouldn't be here in the first place, grow up and let everyone have their own music. I don't like every kind off music either, but I'm not sending idiotic comments on those videos. Maybe you're all just little frustrated kids. This was the first DubStep song I ever heard and I've been listening to DubStep ever since. Love ya Kode 9! You changed my life!

[@NinjaSushi2]

Damn I love that old school UK Dubstep. Original and real dubstep.

[@thailair]

Yeah, it kicks ass. Btw, I heard them live in Moscow, 26 of november last year. That was first dubstep-event in Russia, i guess...

[@BejeweledInvasionNannies]

You've just opened a door to an incredible library of beautifully twisted music. Browse through related videos and users favourites to extend further into the dubstep... Enjoy!

[@uyiaghedo5645]

mate played this at work yesterday, I had to call in sick so I could spend the day trying to find it. I don’t want this track to end.

[@XWAlexanderWX]

LOVE THIS TUNE ♥

[@xordid]

Read these comments and you'll see why I rarely talk about bass music.. Too many arguments about petty shit like what genre a song is, other technical details. Just appreciate the sounds and stop hating so much. Not into the bass music scene as much these days but this is stil an essential track for me, across all types of music. Beautiful!

[@Recklessness89]

hiromaster666 Thanks :)

[@wysockisauce]

This tune right here made me understand.

[@georgeb32]

The Lee Perry sample throughout the song was taken from an interview from BBC's 'On The Wire' radio show in 1984, if that helps/is an interesting coincidence, although I'm sure you mean the book. I can't find the whole interview anywhere though, especially this bit Kode9 sampled

[@erick2099]

A video for music that can be felt rather than just heard. A scientist discovers the incredible power of ultra-low frequencies while experimenting in his bizarre laboratory...Audio addiction...

[@stubdep]

this track makes me shiver, in a positive way.

[@kingdev97]

A lot of people had no idea it came from Garage. The only dubstep songs I like are ones like these, which I consider to be Dark Garage. These are classic dubstep songs that will live forever.

[@bleeepblopbleeep]

Yay, I finally got a new pair of headphones! Now I can ACTUALLY hear the bass. My old headphones broke and I was relying on my laptop speakers...a sad few months it has been.

[@david292978]

just started listening to dubstep recently, i gotta say so far excision is my favorite

[@xarinatan]

The basses (starting at 1:02 ) are so intense, hell of a bass test if you have new speakers, cause it spans over multiple frequencies that subs are especially sensitive for. i had to put my sub down cause stuff started vibrating off my desk Oo. Epic song, keep listening to it, so mysterious, love it ^^

[@ScreaminGreenMachine]

Trippy as hell high or sober. My mind has be blown.

[@t0k3z420]

dude when i got into dubstep i didnt even care about the bass it was all about the sound and i got into it in 2008 in its hey day of dirty wobbles

[@localjargon]

[phone]... points for using the Seven Samurai theme

[@PEEWII]

This music is a remix of the main theme of Akira Kurosawa's film The 7 Samurais.

[@maurymoto7219]

No, he just samples the main theme

[@pejisha]

@toolphreak00 vocals for this song are originally from the song 'Addiction'.

[@DUBsamaBINladen]

i know it isn't but this has sub bass and at 140bpm (around that bpm) so it makes this song dubstep and i think when people call this a bass gem i think they mean its an all time bass classic ( as in it's very popular, hence the 700k veiws) bass gem isn't a type of music, its a way to refer to a very popular bass influenced song

[@NIGEL95]

RIP Spaceape.

[@urbanvibrations]

@incantar coool, but am also looking for the voice saying "churches" towards the end.

[@Jarpua]

@jjoeshaw everyone has there own musical tastes. My favorite band is Phish. On my way home from work I listened to Yonder Mountain String Band and Leftover Salmon. In the shower I listened to Wu-Tang Clan. While I was getting dressed I listened to Peter Tosh. I ate some dinner while listening to a playlist I made of Led Zeppelin, Frank Zappa, and The Allman Brothers Band. Now Im on the computer listening to Kode9. If you were a true fan of music, it would all sound beautiful too you...

@backspaceDUBSTEP Look it up on Boomkaat they have the version with Spaceape's vocals. They even have it as a digital download.

[@Jarpua]

@jjoeshaw well that's because that's exactly what it is...a form of drum & bass music mixed with reggae dub, and the best part about the "clip of someone talking" is that it is Lee "Scratch" Perry (famous for being one of the first producers of reggae dub music and one of The Wailer's most famous producers) using an old form of Rastafari Movement poetry called "dread poetry" during an interview for The Wire in 1984. Pretty cool if you look at the BIG PICTURE, my friend.

[@HarryJohnson1991]

yeah underground music should forever be underground

[@TheKingUpNorth]

Now that's what I call a unique video.

[@d20random]

where does this version of the song appear? most version feature only Lee Perry's vocal sample and not the lyrics of Spaceape
