Old Skool Classic: Remarc - R.I.P. (DJ Hype Remix)

08 Nov 2010

If there is one tune from the entire jungle era that epitomises the phrase "tear-out" then it is this beast from the production powerhouse that is DJ Hype.

1995 was the year that the breakbeat manipulation envelope started to flap open like a bass cone with a gunshot wound to its very core. The Reece bass was creeping in everywhere and if your Amen wasn't splintered into a million pieces you just weren't doing it right.

This is one of Hype's greatest remixes purely on account of the sheer power this thing projects. You could really brock out to this little bastard. It wrecked dance floors EVERYWHERE! This remix is a definite stroke of genius in my eyes.

Of course, not long after this the Amen started to reached saturation point and the techstep movement took over with its stripped back and stark, stepping rhythm and for many junglists things were never quite the same again.
