Brilliant, visions of a bunch of people lobbing bottles at the DJ after too much Skull Disco & suddenly being transformed into a brock out session after a few Jammin bits

After Bassrush in Miami this WMC

I have a new found appreciation.

Zinc tore it up!

Providing he has his finger in the right pies (and not just the beef ones) then bravo. He is probably the only outsider who has helped boost - not necessarily promote the scene but empower it in his own way. With his bond with Sarah "Souljah" Lockheart *cough* it has not only given himself an edge but given the scene an edge in the promotion and the merge with some DNB fans.

I recently ripped the pure garage series to my hard drive from CD and 138 trek, and jammin's tunes are making a massive impact onto what I used to listen to and making me reflect back onto the past.

Watch this space for a documentary coming soon!

Gotta disagree wid u there on this 1 bro on the part where u said where u wouldnt class his as a pioneer, in my case, i would, from being a house and garage dj from 97, and realising where ive ended up2day playing music, i wouldnt only say its just 'zed biad', 'steve gurley' or 'el b' that directed me to what we call dubstep 2day, i rekon zinc has ALOT to do wid the movment,not only his tracks from 2000 when i was 14 with ''Hold On''/''Distraction Bingo001 and other early bingo releases, the runnin series also bk in 2000 established garage dj's back to play more harder stuff as we used 2 called it breakbeat garage these times(The name dubstep wasnt established then!) more than ur avarage 2-step track and thats where the progression was born.......then other producers attended this sound in there own way.....(Plastic Man, Mark One, Lambardo,Daqwarn,Dubchild etc)where this was another style other than ur Jay Da Flex,Menta,Artwork or early Skream or Benga track. You take away zinc from the equation and i dont think i would be here playing what we call Dubstep.Zincs tracks then were way above the avarage garage production level and enhanched the approach of production within the 138-140 tempo!

I understood this as Zinc didn't pioneer it, i.e. take something that was around already and push it forward, but was the catalyst for it, i.e. he was one of the reasons it first came about. If thats what Ashley meant, i'd agree - i see Zinc as one of the figures responsible for pushing garage away from a funky champers-and-loafers style to a bumpy, breakbeat style. i got a Martin Larner promo 'breakbeat garage' mix and for me it sums up the shift from one style of garage to another, long before i'd ever heard the word dubstep. Absolutely love that style. Absolutely love it.

Since someone mentioned the Menta rmx earlier, personally i LOVE Jammin - Tonka. Mixing all thru the intro then a good old fashioned spinback just as it drops always has me jumping round my bedroom

Coming from a DnB perspective Zinc has been a consistant top flight DJ/Producer since Super Sharp Shooter and his influence on the Breakbeat scene cannot be denied. I remember my mate playing me 138 trek and thinking what fuck is this... proper forward looking producer with a sound thats always futuristic. Respect to Zinc stalwart of the UK underground

Last sunday we played some Zinc, Jammin tunes... Never late to drop some nice classics...

I use to love this stuff, I got into it about the same time as I learnt how to beat match propily. I was spinning breakbeat alot and Zinc was a big part of that for me along with other dark garage stuff. I still have some 12"s somewhere my fav was Kinda Funky (wookie mix) I love that tune. There was a really dirty dark 4 to the floor beast on the B-side to one that I love to spin wih techno sometimes too.

Yep runnin is a badass label

yeah i remember that label, like shell toes, shocks, Tn's and all that, i loved that era of the darker garagey / breakbeat stuff. I've got quite a few bingo releases, they're all the same bpm so piss easy to mix!

hes super sharp!!
luvin his stuff looong time

Picks for me are 1st 2 releases "hold on / distraction" and "kinda funky"

I got most of the runnin / bingo releases for sale if anyone wants?

"Go DJ" was sick as well...anyone remember the VIP? I only ever heard Rossi B and Luca play it, though

Hello is huge i have perfect memories aswel.

I had 138 trek vip, now thats large, original is better of course.

Big up the real bingo massive

legendary

I have to show my respect for this era of music too...the first two bingo mix cd's by zinc and zed bias were so crucial to the development of steppas music as far as Im concerned and helped open the door for dubstep...at the time I was heavily into DNB, Breaks and Dark Garage if I could find it...this music (breakstep?) bridged the gaps for me and sounded so fresh at the time...still play it when I can...rinsed Hi Grade-Brockout last weekend at Shockwave (OZ) and people loved it (probably thought it was brand new cause not many people out here really got it played to them back then)...would love to get my hands on Naughty-Mentally Ill To Kill and would buy anything off these cds on sight...The Bingo Beats Volume 3 Sampler is dope too...Darqwan-Jayrassik and Wizzbit-Breakdown VIP...wooahhh...I wish bingo started releasing steppas music again...cant wait to see zed bias at Void (Sydney) for the Aquatic Label Launch

Drop in the remix is TOO MUCH. Got every of his Runnin' productions, I also have a clip of an untitled unreleased one which I've been waiting to come out for years!

Also, did anyone else ever pick up a copy of the Star Wars breakbeat tune he did? Apparently he is a massive fanboy hence why he made it. Quite a nice tune...
