I got into dnb at the heart of the techstep era ('98-'99) and really became interested in it because the beats sounded a lil bit like sum of the dancehall stuff I had got into in the early 90's.
I kinda got into the scene via Reprazents album New Forms and really liked the way they orchestrated their sound.
By the time I had got into dnb there wasnt much of that sound going around anymore but I did like what I heard.
I sum how found out about Dieselboy and bought his Soldiers Story and became a bit of a techstep head until we had the great "liquid" explosion.
I really liked what Hospital was putting out and saw that there was more of a "musicality" to this hardcore music that I was into and I am still trying to f9nd more and more of that kinda thing but I usually gravitate back to the techy stuff.
I have recently heard a few of these "ragga" sets that are making the rounds.
One in particular that I am listeing to right now is R.A.W.'s Warlord.
I have been a bit of a jungle historian ever since I heard my first dnb but I never really paid much attention to the ragga scene because in dnb its very much about the "dubplate culture" and I became engrossed in the latest mixes of the latest tracks.
The ragga scene may actually be what I have been looking for ever since I first got into dnb.
I was a really big fan of artist like Shabba Ranks, Mad Cobra and Snow(the informer) back in the day and I love what sum of the more ragga-style jungle MCs do with dnb. The only one I really hear that much of though is Navigator. Thats only because I own the AK1200 w Navigator CD and have the Ocean Rooms set from February of Friction w SP:MC b2b Navigator.
I see and hear so much about the "mainstream" sound of dnb and would like to hear more ragga jungle sets w and w/o MC.
Can anyone recommend sum ragga stuff.
