be here all day talking bout Jungle/D"n"B
from the early to mid 90's (Jungle's Golden Era)
check Remarc, Bizzy B and Tom & Jerry (4hero) also various trax by Dillinja and Lemon D, Skanna, J Majik, Adam F, Alex reese, Goldie, DJ Crystl amonst others. If you like Intelligent check Bukem, PFM and Doc Scott, Blame and for late 90's its got to be Source Direct, Ed Rush & Optical, Dom and Roland, Photek
Imho in the late 80's when Jungle Bros/EPMD/PE/Rakim/Kane/BDP etc all blew and the bandwagon jumpers who previously used to diss jumped on the Hip Hop train with their PE patches, Kangols, funny pictures in HHC connection where every one of them used to pose in the chin holding position and last but not least the ubiquitous big furry collar black bomber jackets unfortunately Miami Bass was completely alien to them as they we're not familiar with the original Electro-Rap sound from the early to mid 80's anyhow (or if they we're it was only very briefly and by the time of the golden era most had completely forgotten about it!!) Also Miami Bass was a very reginal thing too and I'm guessing that on a worldwide scale it just couldn't cut the mustard so to speak - I remember X Men standing out during this period as one of the only crews still true to this style but even they got no love from the majority of heads listening/buying rap music during this time which was sad -and like a previous poster has said the people into the more electronic style prolly got into jungle techno or bass and bleeps such as LFO/Ragga Twins etc
just dl'd the S.H.A.D.O album from Itunes
dope I must say - anyone else down?
very spacey/electro-ish mood music
tough one but my vote goes for K.O.B
Cybernet Systems for me
We Are Borg - dope jam
would of posted Gold In The Shade's Over you - [Classic Manchester Street Soul from 91] - but the quality on YT is v bad - anyway its a dope soul tune and rare as hen's teeth to boot - strictly heard in all late night inner city after hours jams back then

using the best breakbeat ever Apache
I sold my copy of aformentioned album to Sister Ray in Soho - wish I hadn't now although they we're well pleased with it - and yes it has a dope mix of The Soul on it.
As for the battle - the winner for me is Mr Baker
for it's the Maggotron Crew but its close.......
trend? the art of battle is the true essense of the B-Boy
let the games begin.......
