DJ Trace - Monkeys (AKA Sonar Dub Plate Mix)

[Guest Guest]

Oh My god !! I've been looking for this tune too , for sooo long...ever since I heard it on that dreamscape 20 (The Big Outdoors 1995) tape of which I splilt tea on

 

I was under the impression it was the first ever version of Sonar too, I have even emailed grooverider to beg it from his box or to try and identify it, but have not yet had a reply (busy man!)

 

IF anyone ever get's hold of a copy, please let us know where you managed to purchase it from ...this tune should see the light of many days. such quality Drum n Booey

 

Most new d&b has lost the "Cause" of DnB , Dark and Heavy tunes, not this fairy music what were hearing more and more of, just like what happened to hardcore back in the day , was good and dark ...now kids use it to play "musical chairs" with..i mean cummon , its even started happening to hard trance, mark eg is quoted to have said "There is no more Decent Hard trance anymore"

 

Thats why tunes like this NEED to be released, Trace , Optical or whoever ...please make this happen , I will even give you my student loan and starve , just to have this on wax !

 

Regards

ripped from tape, Grooverider kiss fm [12.04.1996] cheeky re-edit

re-mastered with various plugins, didnt bother to remove the dubplate crakle at the start, i like it

the original is the unreleased version of Sonar that was due to come out on Prototpye, but the DAT was lost...
