its not just tunes made in london its tunes that were played on pirate radio a lot in london. (plus a lot of hiphop, which made its presence felt in other ways) pirate was not just jungle it was reggae, dancehall, r&b and rare groove too. so that all features.

droid would run out of tunes and start filling it up with eric clapton and other bands like the bluesbreakers and the yardbirds

used itunes a lot plus then youtube makes useful suggestions, tunes youd forgotten about etc. i was going to write things down until i realised how long that would take. also i wanted to finish before corpsey done his one lol the end bit is stuff id been looking into recently anyway early UKdancehall stuff. also over the years ive made lots of huge lists of tunes i like and posted them on dissensus so i was able to remind myself of what i like that way

There's carefully crafted segues the only way it can be listened to is in order and in full without interuption. I need everyone to commit to that. It's like lord of the rings.

You know when you see a UFC fighter being interviewed and they've got a voice like a Library assistant and you wish they sounded like a beast? Method Man is what they should sound like.

Darned cockwombles.
Had a flick through and this is epic. Just the education that the children need.

Two Bobby V tunes there and all- attention to detail. Loving the 2 Live Crew electro track, that's a new one on me
