Sound Quality: excellent
Notes: 55 minutes; 320kbps; New York City, USA
"Third and last in the artist showcase portion of the series, we've got Ellis Dee at the controls. By no means a comprehensive overview of his production history (this guy was releasing tunes as early as 1991, perhaps earlier, and continues to do so today)—it is, however, a rather extensive glance into his 1993-1995 hardcore & jungle efforts, centered around his masterful mangling of the amen break.
Diverse & soulful are two words that come to mind first while thinking of his tunes: there's influences from ragga, hip-hop, rnb, funk & jazz riffs, ultra-catchy vocal snippets & well-timed stutter-steps just when you're about to tell yourself the drumwork could use a little more variation. It's as if he's telling you not to doubt his ability to stay one step ahead of the dancefloor and, at just the right moment, employ the element of surprise.
A mainstay of labels such as White House & Collusion (the latter founded by himself & Swan-E), not to forget his double anthem release on Cat, he seems to have kept himself at the forefront of production tendencies throughout the development of jungle as well: his 93 tunes could be said to predict the ushering in of amen mania, his 94 tunes sound like most 95 tunes from that era, and by 95 he was hardsteppin' with the best of 'em.
Not only is he one hell of a producer, but he's a don bad boy behind the decks as well, deejaying at parties by the mid-eighties, performing as a headliner all through the nineties and releasing several studio mixes along the way. One of the few to play both happy hardcore and jungle in his sets after the scene split, he also gave a significant amount of air time to obscure & lesser known jungle tunes of his day.
Following up from T-Power and Bay B Kane, Ellis Dee rounds out the artist showcase selection. If I had to pick three artists to triangulate my personal tastes and preferences in jungle, there's no doubt in my mind that these guys would complete the hat-trick nicely.
There may be more in the future (Point Blank seems a worthy candidate), but for now we end with a pun on the name of my favorite 1992 mix, Ellis Dee's The Ultimate Trip.
(Special thanks to RLS for sorting me out with Drum Thunder.)"
