Technical Itch & Kemal - The Calling

[@omen155mo]

I destroyed several pairs of shoes dancing to this 15 years ago.

[@triaudio3723]

in the same chorus right

[@Myles1134]

hell yeah

[@childofdawest]

Oh man! Reminds me 2002-2003 and all the sick d&b parties in these years!

[@rizednb]

so many good tunes from that ae. all producers unique to their sound. now most shit sounds the same. i swear what a time ! 2000-2004 for me

[@ArnisGoldberg]

fun fact: this was released in 2002, and the vip released shortly later in 2003!

[@E-1K]

Sounds like such an even blend of Tech Itch and Kemal. You can hear both of their fingerprints all over it. This is one of the best DNB tunes of all time. 🔥 ❤️🔥 Where the amens start falling.... just so good!

[@theapavlou3030]

It's fucking beautiful

[@henker69]

if you have one tune, one example to explain to somebody what the undiluted, pure form of dnb is, then it's this one.. no doubt.. all that sterile, soulless crap nowadays doesn't even deserve the specification of drum&bass

[@adnans8778]

It's a masterpiece

[@MattSmith-yq3rr]

I have several friends sworn to play this at my funeral as my coffin descends into the flames. I have a pristine vinyl copy in storage ready to go. Not that I'm morbid or anything, just like to be prepared....😂

[@PhilEisMethod]

My buddy made a sick mix and this was on it in 2002. The first song had a break that said DSL and the second song was Styles of Beyond. Was it a pre mix by Diesel Boy do you know what I'm talking about?

[@jessejames2546]

This track was uploaded in 2009, a lot of comments from as little as a year ago. Drum and Bass needs to get back to the roots. It’s obvious people are looking for the older sounds.

late 90s and young 2000 is the best sound of DNB amen breaks and metal vibes gotherd in techstep and neurofunk.Its furious,filthy and got good tempo. Fuckin essence of DNB.

[@jamesfletcher474]

Spot on, people want it hard, dark and filthy

[@jmoz]

I just spent ages trying to remember this track! Not on Spotify, gutted. Loved this era and style of drum and bass. Holy shit it actually gives me goosebumps how hard this track is.

[@Pauldjreadman]

Spotify? you evil bastard lol, this should be played on vinyl :)

[@henker69]

have mercy on him although he deserves severe punishment. but: the fact that he went on search to track down that certain by the means known and available to him shows that he carries the spirit. searchin for tunes without any hint has become an essential part and in return any music in radio or tv, anything the damn media throws at you made me sick. there are no words for the feeling when you finally find the tune you were searching for, like a hunter maybe. as a noob i thought its a good idea to ask the local dj crew for a certain tune and ended up stomping the kick and super-retarded-beatboxinglike-sounds came out of my mouth. how naive ..never ever i will forget how he and his crew looked at me and the 30min they literally drooled from laughing on me nastily. then the dj suddenly dead serious told me the name and even the cat no.. we became good buddies later +now we have verified that our lil preciousssss calling at least has not downgraded to a spotify-whore and i hope it stays like that.. dnb hunt is a way of life...🤘😎@@Pauldjreadman

[@RuudVanPistolrooy]

Perfect picture. This track perfectly captures the feeling of Pripyat / STALKER Kemal run 'tings

[@andimann4182]

I looked for this comment. was sure it was Pripyat. Big love to Ukraine in 2012/13

[@dope_dp_dealer]

Прип’ять!

[@adnans8778]

This was a seminal track for me. This has everything - bass, synths, amen drums. Got me out of jump up and into techstep. Never heard anything like it that brought the techno sound and dnb together. Then discovered a lot more...

[@ffsFonix]

one of the many bangers from the golden age of d&b

[@CyB.N]

Inspired me to write "the Calling of Chechnovea" as a part of the book i'm writing ;)

[@breakfreak3181]

Wicked track. Only Tech Itch could use those trance style synth arpeggios and it not sound like cheese. Old gold!

[@oskar_oskarewicz]

Concord Dawn, John B, to name a few, they used trance synths in a proper way as well.

[@pkpckls]

This tune always reminded me of one Kemal did on his own called 'Let It Move You' - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKTYlJR_jdWpb5o Similar synth intro, ridiculous drop

[@breakfreak3181]

But Tech Itch used them the best!

[@adnans8778]

​@@oskar_oskarewicz It was probably Kemal who brought the synths into this - it's Kemal's specialty. But tech itch has used them in other tracks. Raiden also and BSE later. That perfect blend of trance/techno/dnb is musical heaven.

[@oskar_oskarewicz]

​@@adnans8778 Much agreed

[@mirokuthepimp]

@Richietaiwan That isn't "the sniper sence" from Call of Duty, its the ghost town of Pripyat, Ukraine. That level is directly modeled after Pripyat, which was evacuated after the Chernobyl disaster.

[@allybaapp1053]

1:29 you begin to realise something monumental is on the horizon.

[@nonentity7709]

holy fuck this amen break starting at 4 06 just kills me every single time i listen to it

[@alexissosa8441]

one of the best tunes ever i remenber that this was always in my set mix

[@Dukey22]

Whoa, what a great track. This is the first time i heard it unmixed what a ripper of a track.

[@kevinlong4657]

This might be my favorite dnb track of all time. It's got all my favorite elements.

[@chrismcnally88]

I've been saying for years that this might be the best dnb track ever produced because of all its distinct elements and sound progressions. If you like this you ought to give Seed of Design by Tech Itch a listen.. very similar overall.

[@SamBamPlays]

My record shop told me they would save this for me when it come out and they didn't. Even to this day I'm still gutted. Classic tune.

[@Butlerboy1043]

Massive tune!! I remember going into Glasshouse for the first time and this was being played soon as i stepped foot inside! The place was going bonkers!!

Tech Itch never went away man!....He's bubbling away nicely on the underground! Still releasing tracks (and dub plates to buy) and also doing club nights roughly once a month in London.
