well... there's certainly connections. Aphex Twin remixed Acardipane's We
Have Arrived. Two mixes actually made it onto the Classics collection that
came out on R&S.... I mean... everybody influenced everybody else. It was a
very small scene back then. Hell... if you read liner notes you'll notice
that Lenny Dee helped on What Time Is Love by The KLF.
At any rate - the whole DJungle Fever label - and the related artists are
well worth checking out. Those guys used a shit load of pseudonyms, and the
sheer variety in their work is often shocking. Biochip C did some
incredible work (and did a lot to help out Catani [Eradicator, Ec8or,
E-de-Cologne] in the early days)...
Of course - on a strictly drill'n'bass tip... Christoph de Babalon deserves
a shit load of credit, the Destroy Berlin! ep on DHR is about as drill as it
gets... and that, itself, gives a nod to the No Face record on Praxis... who
had ties to the whole free party scene... and the Spiral Tribe crew.
Maybe it all started DoEt from the Breach The Peace ep?
