Yet outside of Cov he's recognised as a legend.... Metalheadz/Blue Note
He's playing at Amensia House in the Kasbah/Colly end of the month. Set in the main Oldskool/Jungle room, and another set in the DnB room.
Saw him at some oldskool reunion in some warehouse in Wolverhampton just before xmas.... played some real early stuff... was probably 1990... before jungle came in.
I went to DnB Classics in London a couple of weeks ago. Steelyard.... underneath Cannon Street Station.
Absolutely brilliant event (i struggle to call anything in the daytime a "rave" but thats how it is these days)
Pure late 90's up to late 00's tunes.
They've got a big event in Barking in September with Breakin' Science (modern jump up), DnB Classics, and a jungle arena (with a really solid lineup)..... some warehouses down an awful looking industrial estate.... its where World Dance had their comeback last year.
I can't get on board with modern jump-up...... 98-02 is my sound.

Breaking science doesn't do it for me 97-05 is easily the best era of dnb though.
2016 up till COVID was really good as well it's completely fell apart now though got too big and become massively diluted.
The DNB classics nights are really good one of the Cov lads (Sleepless) plays at it all the time very talented bloke as well.
I use to run jungle events and play a bit myself when I was at uni but retired a few years ago to get a real job. Worked with jungle cakes and V recordings on label nights which was a lot of fun.
One thing I will say though the V Recordings lads still party like it's the 90s
Roger Lomas is a grammy winning producer who has (had?) a music academy in Cov. Has worked with The Specials, Bad Manners, Selector, Ozzy and loads more.
Trevor Evans was (is?) a DJ who toured with the Specials a lot.
No idea on the other three but guessing newer artists.

I was a regular everywhere from 2000-2005...... Sanctuary, Bagleys, Que Club..... Helter Skelter, Slammin Vinyl, One Nation... United Dance was probably my favourite.
The Sanctuary shutting down in 04 started the change for me, and Bagleys went around the same time as well.... started moving towards clubs rather than big warehouses (although there were still some around).
Slowly became a bit more accessible to "normal people".
Just DnB Classics and the odd oldskool parties for me now..... although may touch down at Hospitality Croatia this summer for a few days.

I never went to Atomic Jam..... but Flashback, Quest, One Nation, Slammin Vinyl, were all good at the Que Club. Such a great venue.
I quite liked Code/Air in Digbeth (despite my earlier post bemoaning the move away from large warehouse venues)...... around 2002-2004 Helter Skelter put on regular club nights there for Hardcore/DnB with really solid lineups.... effectively meant a decent all-night rave on the doorstep every 3 or 4 weeks.
