I asked for Bad Company and you delivered. Holy moly. You are now my favorite canadian.

[@STRANJAH]

LOL. Well, I am rougher and tougher, there is no other! Seriously though, thanks for the kind words and thanks for checking out the video!

[@GolabKitsForTR-8s]

Since years i ask for No u Turn and you don't delivered. You are not my favorite canadian yet.

Big up BCUK! You youngers must understand what these guys done for drum and bass

[@STRANJAH]

Yes, they certainly are a force to be reckoned with! I think just about every one of their tracks is top notch and solid!

[@ConenRuam]

Thanks for the video man!! Bad Company are legandary, and so are your production videos 👍

[@STRANJAH]

I appreciate your encouraging words and am glad that you are getting something out of my videos.

Such a classic banger!

[@oliverrees9422]

The album Shot Down On Safari was my favourite DnB on vinyl album ever

[@lafluerpeter9]

I still have it on vinyl, Dr Schevago, torpedo, hornet, and snowcat are absolute bangers.

[@oliverrees9422]

@lafluerpeter9 100 percent god I love snow cat used to play that out in Suffolk

[@STRANJAH]

I always love hearing about those that still hold onto their vinyl, from back in the day. During those times, vinyl was the only real way to get these tracks and it was a HUGE part of the scene, to have these records on hand to play.

[@lafluerpeter9]

@STRANJAH Ahh, no I had it back in the day, situation in 02 meant I had to get rid of my vinyl and techs, og jungle and dnb up to about 97 (it got a bit to intelligent/jazzy for me after) then collected again from around 00 to 02 but also my UKG collection up to the same point, with some tunes that fetch a stupid price on discogs today. I got myself a ddjrb around 2015, but like I say, I'm old school, but I didn't have access to much of the stuff I had on vinyl so had to rip stuff from YT (I know it gets better) and the odd bits from P2P sites, I didn't have a clue about bitrates in audio at the time until I played a small Internet radio station and listening (if I could) to the tracks of low quality I played was shameful. So I invested in a set of reloop turntables and pioneer mixer around covid time , and found someone who was selling a mixed vinyl collection near me, took a good handful of tunes, some of my old UKG and jungle DnB were among it, shot down was plus Ray Keith vintage dread album. So since then I've been lucky to find a few items at charity shops, but if not then I'll get bits off doscogs, it's an expensive hobby. (as I'll get too) Since then I figured that these new turntables are awful for vinyl mixing, and one of the reloops motors seized up outside warranty with minimal use, I got a ddj800 and found a bulletin board site were people rip their UKG vinyl to share, so I have a good selection of WAVS and FLACS, but digital is OK, but nothing beats the feeling of vinyl. So I did what every madman does and invest (his soul and keeping in the wifes good books for life after such an extravagant purchase)in a set of 1210mk2s. But in all the money I've ploughed into it these have bought me the most joy, these are what I put on and play (through the ddj800) they make me feel 15-22 again, even though I have a ps1/2 and stuff from back then, putting the needle on the record (and the drum beat goes like this😁😁 sorry) it just gives me that buzz again that controlling 1s and 0s on a screen doesn't.

[@Scienide1995_Deep_and_Dub]

Legendary! Still have and regularly listen to them on cds! Thank you, Stranjah!

[@romeisfallingagain]

absolutely awesome. great job stranjah

[@apoplexiamusic]

Planet Dust = YES!!!! It sounds really great, very true to the original! AI vocal swapping = NO Well it's not for me, but you get that bag, you deserve it :)

Glad you like it! Haha I was not paid to advertise it. Just wanted to help DJ Fresh out with his new venture!

[@STRANJAH]

Thanks for the support and I am glad you have things to take away from these videos and apply to your own tracks.

Awesome! One of my favorite tracks from the days.

[@danman5237]

You did it! One of my alltime favourites, thanks man!

[@STRANJAH]

No problem! What other tunes would you put up there with this one, as being your favourite?

[@danman5237]

@@STRANJAH Way too many to be honest, but a few darker ones from the top of my head: - Ed Rush/Optical - Sick Note - Mampi Swift - Trippin - DJ Trace - Mutant revisited (would love to know how those reverse horns were made) My alltime favourite tune is Adam F - Circles, with Planet Dust coming in at a very close second. My original vinyl in all of its caned glory hangs on my living room wall.

[@STRANJAH]

Definitely some top tunes there!

[@yayin21]

This is my favorite track of all time

[@STRANJAH]

It really is a great one, that is why I tried so hard to make sure I pulled it off in this video!

[@djfuvideo2]

Fair play you smashed this. Always wondered how the Reese was made.

[@STRANJAH]

There may be other ways and I am sure it was made completely different to this back in the day, but that is what makes it so great. There is never just one pathway to a destination and as long as the final output sounds good, that is what counts!

Nice to hear! So go ahead and do that and I hope it comes out to be a banger! 💪

[@sbr_navi7462]

I've been wondering where that vocal sample came from for ages. Nice detective work!

[@STRANJAH]

Yup hopefully you caught the correction. It's The Black Hole (1979) not Dune.

[@sbr_navi7462]

@ I had to rewind to find it, but ya.. got it. Good KZbin video that has that scene around too. Always found this one a little shaky to lock up tight in the mix - maybe it’s those “organic” drums you added make the beat matching tougher

[@jamesgiven370]

Wow, nailed it! 👏

@ I know. I was just giving some feedback. I liked everything about it.

Let me see if I can get a hold of the project, or the samples that I used back then. If my memory serves me correctly, I used Jungle Warfare Vol. 2 for the choir pad and probably the Virus for other elements. I was also using Cubase back then!

​@@STRANJAH Sick! Would be awesome to hear a remake of it too.

[@davidowle3772]

YESSSSSSSS!!!! I HAS ON VINYL. You're talking directly to old folks like me. This one's circa 2001? 🤷🏻‍♂️ I'm pretty sure it was DBBC Ladies of Spain that truly hooked me on DNB in those days...

[@davidowle3772]

Moments in old folk ravin'... It was indeed DBBC Ladies of Spain that turned me from kinda liking DNB into a full-fledged trainspotter... Then on to buying vinyl and decks. There used to be a basement club in Victoria called Neptune and the club owners or associated promoters put on an outdoor party in honour of the November Leonid meteor shower. The party was slightly up island at a popular party spot (the quarry if I'm not mistaken). It was a hell of a time of year to have an outdoor party, but it worked. Let's just say I stupidly took my "medicine" before getting on the shuttle and it affected me too hard/quickly. I almost got back on the shuttle home, but then I heard Ladies of Spain pumping out of the DNB tent. It was a 'WTF IS THAT TRACK!?' moment... I was hooked. While trying to find Ladies of Spain I found Planet Dust. Also a 'WTF IS THAT TRACK!?' moment...

[@nexusobserve]

"the nine " also

[@STRANJAH]

What a crazy story! I'm sure soo many of us have stories like this to tell, on where they were when they first heard a track and how it affected them. There is a starting point for everyone in the scene and their getting hooked on the music. Thanks for sharing yours, as I always like hearing about these personal experiences.

[@darthraver7007]

thanks my friend!

[@dnch]

nice, really close, but the groove is slightly off

[@STRANJAH]

Well I wasn't trying to be 100%, just enough to get the general point across so others could understand how the track was made and hopefully take some of that knowledge and apply it to their own tracks. Thanks for checking it out and I appreciate your honesty on what you thought of it.
