tom & jerry - dancer

[@TakeMeBackPirateRadio]

Tom & Jerry was actually symbolic of the cat and mouse chase between pirate radio and the DTI (Department Of Trade and Industry (now OFCOM).

[@kishcub]

❤ you know in all this time I never thought about that

[@TakeMeBackPirateRadio]

​@@kishcub Bless up!!

[@notnormalrecords]

I've read somewhere that it was because the two of them raced to see who could finish a track first, which ended up being the first tom and jerry release SHELL 001

[@TakeMeBackPirateRadio]

@@notnormalrecords Where did you read that? I'd like to know your source if you don't mind sharing. The origins of the cat and mouse game was the pirate radio movement vs authorities. If you know you know!

[@rareroses77]

​@@notnormalrecords Dego said that him self in recent interview(nothing to do with DTI)

[@johnnymassacre]

Let's be real here, this production is basically impossible for the year it was released; how the hell did they get the mixes to cut like this, and all the elements so advanced sounding? Straight up geniuses, no exaggeration!

[@Jim_KYB]

Akai S950 an Atari and a Minimoog for bass was 4 Hero's main weapons. Looking back these guys were total geniuses.

nope.. they learned how to use the equipment, that simple.. jumbo had a few muso's they would have picked up info off them also. a vocal track of another track was recorded elsewhere for example. ( the other side of the attic haha)

This is deffo the best Tom & Jerry tune for me, just a tune that suited that early summer 1994 sound. I bought the vinyl in Camden at Zoom records in July 1994 and remember hearing it and going woow I need this. 11/10 for this one.

[@kishcub]

For sure what a summer got mine in lucky spin kings Rd

[@8valve]

Hey, you may not respond to this now, but do you still have any of your Tom and Jerry vinyls? And would you consider selling? I’m looking at starting off my vinyl collection and am mainly looking for a few Shells from the Tom and Jerry Discography.

Imagine a time where nobody had mobile phones and you had to hear of raves through word of mouth or an advertisement on a poster in town somewhere. When you turned up to a rave and nobody wanted to look good for a social network but to look good for the moment, dancing with each other all night / day until the police showed up to shut it down.

[@ruiadhribelgrave2956]

Great that you like old skool. This tune probably help make a lot of DnB in the last 25+. Banger

[@digimaton]

remember that it's been almost 20 years since this music first emerged, initially there were a handful of innovative producers, but as more people got into the music the numbers of producers imitating outnumbered those innovating, until you get to a point where there are more fillers being produced than cutting edge tunes, same happened in hip-hop, house, techno and now even in so called experimental music. We live in an age of imitation and it's up to people like you to change this

[@nicks9607]

Easily one of the best jungle tunes of all time. Just soooooo good!

[@fogvarious2478]

and the rest of us are old ****s now the younger folks music is out and their own twist on it ;-) . I lived in NW london, and was by pure accident I got to know a few labels / producers... like the whole creative making it stuff.. not the "off me face on tabs" raving side.

Man it feels good to be mature, yet enjoy the playful bass in my ears when absorbing this song, this moment once again. The artist in this piece sure knows the rhythm and need to carefully place the vocals. This song should be a jungle enthusiasts dream come true.

Yea it went in a dodgy direction, esoecially with what gets passed as DnB or Jungle nowadays, but even some of the old ruffneck jungle was sick at times, but never been into ragga jungle. Bukem and similar artists paved the way for me man, still love all those vibes. Play them on my phone while walking to wherever, better than playing some grime or niche like most people do on their phones.

[@hombrerelents]

@ncshuriken A lot of it's to do with a reliance on drum vsts and drum machines, as opposed to the sampled soulful jazz funk breaks which drove wonderful tracks like this. You start with a beautiful break and it's going to make you think and create more; start with some techstep beat and you're bound to produce something utterly souless.

Some people would crucify you for saying that, but Im with you on that one mate. This stuff is where the vibe is, forget benny page, high contrast, chase n status n the like. Producers need to turn the pages back a bit, listen to how shit used to be made, and incorporate that into their tunes of today, to re-invoke the flavour. Thats what I think anyway.
