Inside the Paradox
I’m a big fan of rave recollections and short stories, I’m currently reading and will be reviewing State Of Bass by Martin James
https://velocitypress.uk/product/state-of-bass/. buy direct from the publisher
Its an excellent tome on the developement of Hardcore To Jungle and Drum and Bass and all of the nodes and stems that shoot off from the greatest british export
Ive also been inspired by Joe Europe whos writing some feverish tales here
so heres some fever dream stream of conciousness fluff from the back of my mind and an attempt at thinking in the flow of Det, Skibba, Stevie Hyper D or IC3 ( def not moose or shabba , lol bone man ) If those names mean nothing to you, you’re dead , fam, you probably wore Dunlops, d e a d .
In 2 deep, the speckled dove is not having the effect I want , feeling wavy but my breath is escaping me, not fusing with me, Brockie is spinning ,Ic3 is chatting , his bark louder hey Hey Hey, hur, hur,hur Muhahahaha ,
I’m feeling not so steady, steady are you ready, what’s going on , that’s the PARa para , para paradox , something is changing in me my stomach flips I want to puke but it fades … then …feeling good, feeling great but soon you know that its going to fade , but then it starts to all fit , the waves calm a little, I’m over the hill and far away, the feet feel lighter and now im stepping, steppin, DJ Die Autumn cuts in ,98 2 99 and we feel FINE ,
yeah yeah what’s this new old sound, hey you coming thru with the new sound , it’s a stepper, it’s a roller it’s a Bristol rockers 2 rockers , sound of the Autumn streets , light dappling thru trees, still a warm breeze , and I’m turning through the pages of my life , I’m after new Kreps, addict for sneakers used to have a beeper , not a care about a council tax bill, steady on this grade pill , mersh nah … we will see , never put pen to paper on the dotted line , pay in cash or get on tick , flip a brick a week , the plug come deliver, up southern corridor and m4 / m25 , one above, lieutenant before county lines burners were not even a thing then , nokia Erickson, don’t be bait , don’t talk bait on the phone , you got that ting yeah…… , more dub rush come save me , just 4 u , soon about to come crushing down like it always does someone chat bare rubbish , 1 year later the prick in a lowered escort he’ll turn witness, informer, end up in fuengirola cleaning swimming pools ,greased down curtains and Lizzie Duke sovvies n chain , (bonkerz not ruffneck n chain) but he’s alright jack , he wont catch more than 2 years inside whilst trouble trouble trouble you bring , TROUBLE ON VINYL

Skibba and IC3 ,HEY HEY , hosting and sending , sending us through , I see Anil the promoter screwing at the venue manager , who’s trying to shut SHIT DOWN, fuck your license, there’s still 600 people here no officers can take us but Anil aint no pussy claart , he’s waving his hand across the night , across the floor the rAvers are still gagging for more ,he wants his customers going home happy talking about this ONE for years …. AND they will , we do , we cant forget it or get close to all those dreams

Yes certainly they are… here to report to the floor for duty we are now ready for take off…
