DJ Ratty - Fibre Optic (Christmas Cracker) 1993

[jsaq]

Can anyone help ID this track from the above set.

Cheers guys

[Digital Delight]

Wicked track! This is probably another dubplate. Ratty seemed to have alot of wicked tunes on dubplate at the time that never got released....

Here's a tracklist, I don't recognise the sample as any of the tunes so it must be the unreleased dubplate.

Cheers for the tracklist mate. I've only ever heard the track on this partiular set so it seems it was probably pressed up as a dub plate only as Digital stated.

[Edzy]

Alright mate, i will try and find out who actually done this artist wise but ratty got so many plates pressed in 93 that he probably won't remember but its worth an ask all the same, and also if he only played it on one set it's maybe not as fresh in his head as others are.

i should see him in the next week or so, so i will have an ask for you. i will post up what i find out, any other plates u are struggling with that he dropped i could clear up too maybe.

take it easy

Nice one Eddie, thanks mate. If you could give me a shout if you have any luck with those two that would be cool.

He played that tune in a number of his sets from late 1993 so hopefully he remembers it. Presumably it didn't get released but some more info on it would be good.

When you get the chance to speak to him about it, any chance you could also ask him about these longstanding Ratty unknowns?

Ratty-Quest-15-01-94.mp3 - I'll eat my hat if this isnt a Basement Records dubplate.....

[Digital Delight]

Ratty-Quest-05-03-94.mp3 - this is an absolute choooon!! If i had to guess i'd say that it has the sound of an Invisible Man tune. Shame it will probably never see the light of day

[nebkins]

Ratty-Quest-15-01-94.mp3 ..this sounds remarkably like Electronic Experienced - IQ on Basement

[djsk3tchy]

that dub played on Helter Skelter has been asked for for years so very doubtful if it will ever see the light of day, i asked Jamie (tango) about this myself & he said he would ask ratty & he came back with he can't remember !!!!

[jsaq]

I thought that might be the case, cheers for asking though mate

[djsk3tchy]

I thought that might be the case, cheers for asking though mate

slight update

speaking to Ratty & he said that tune (track01) from fibre Optic @ quest is an Unreleased Windmill tune

The tune played @ Edge 93 Start which has been rumoured to be by SS is infact Jumpin Jack Frost

[Paul Zykotik]

That Quest 05-03-94 track was confirmed as a dubplate when I asked about it a few months ago. Amazing track...
