Bizzy B has a Retrospective compilation on Plant Mu which is well decent fun. It's chocca full of early UK hardcore and it's transition into jungle. There's hoover/ Mentasm sounds galore and wicked amen breaks. The tracks have a great primitive sound to them with some proper wonky riffs, cool bad boy samples. I love a bit of jungle and some of the beats on here have me shaking about like a buffoon. Bizzy B was a total jungle pioneer and his editing of the amen is second to none, remember he was probably using an Amiga or Atari ST too. This also nicely documents the darkside sound. Fucking lush Darth Vader sample in there too. Long unavailable gems from his Brain label are now available once more. One for the oldskool ravers but will appeal to younger mentalists too. CD and triple vinyl. Master of the amen, Bizzy B, returns to Planet Mu with a retrospective of 12 of his ultimate classic plates from back in the day (92-94) plus 2 unreleased tracks from the same period.
This collection documents Hardcore’s transmutation into Jungle. Hip-House breaks are sped up into hyperkinetic trills and mangled rave-hoovers perform demented riffs the like of which have not been heard before or since. This is music that is brutal and strange. You will know these tracks from pirates and raves, they rarely made it to the safer cd compilations of jungle around at the time.
Since 1992 Bizzy B he has been releasing 12"s on labels such as White House, One Nation as well as his own Brain Records.
* In the last few years his Science E.P. series on Planet Mu saw a large resurgence in popularity amongst young ravers ensuring continuous DJ dates around Europe including recent headlining slots at the Bloc festival and Bangface weekender.
