🔥 Phaze 3 & Klass A | Kool FM London | 3 April 1994 | Jungle Drum & Bass

Step back into Kool FM London in 1994 with Phaze 3 & Klass A, capturing the rapidly evolving sound of UK Jungle and Drum & Bass during one of the most important years in rave history. By 1994, the original Breakbeat Hardcore sound had evolved into something deeper, heavier and more sophisticated. Jungle was exploding across London's pirate radio, with Kool FM at the centre of the movement. Phaze 3 and Klass A were right in the middle of that evolution. Their musical connection with Dextrous began through Kool FM, where the three developed shared ideas about taking Drum & Bass in a more musical direction. This eventually led to the formation of State of the Art Recordings, giving them a platform to develop their own distinctive sound. This recording captures Phaze 3 & Klass A during that crucial 1994 period, when Jungle was rapidly moving away from its Hardcore roots and towards the deeper, more musical Drum & Bass sound that would define the years ahead. 🎧 WHAT TO EXPECT Expect 1994 Jungle and Drum & Bass, heavyweight breaks, deep basslines, atmospheric sounds, early Techstep influences, rolling rhythms and the distinctive musical approach associated with Phaze 3 & Klass A. Their later Kool FM recordings demonstrate the quality of their selections, with music from DJ Krust, Dextrous, Studio Pressure, System X, Remarc, Gappa G & Hyper Hypa and The New Cru appearing alongside their own productions. 👊 WHO IT'S FOR Jungle heads, Drum & Bass fans, Kool FM listeners, old-skool ravers, pirate radio collectors, vinyl DJs, Phaze 3 & Klass A fans and anyone who wants to hear 1994 London Jungle before Drum & Bass fully evolved into its later forms. ⚠️ WHY IT'S ESSENTIAL 1994 was a pivotal year for Jungle. The music was changing almost month by month. Hardcore breaks were getting darker, basslines were getting heavier and producers were beginning to explore more sophisticated arrangements, atmospheres and production techniques. Kool FM was one of the essential pirate stations documenting that transformation in real time. Phaze 3 and Klass A were particularly important to the musical and production-led side of the scene, later working with Dextrous through State of the Art Recordings. Their approach helped demonstrate that Jungle could be both brutally effective on a dancefloor and musically ambitious. This recording is therefore a valuable snapshot of Jungle in transition. 📡 KOOL FM / PHAZE 3 & KLASS A Kool FM became one of London's most influential Jungle pirate stations, providing a platform for DJs and producers who were pushing the sound forward. Phaze 3 and Klass A became associated with that environment during the early-to-mid 1990s. Their later Kool FM appearances show them playing alongside some of the most important names in the emerging Jungle and Drum & Bass scene. Their production partnership would eventually produce records such as Phaze 3 & Klass A – Words Of Wisdom and Artificial Reality, with the latter receiving a Dextrous remix on State of the Art. This is proper 1994 Kool FM Jungle — raw, underground and straight from the pirate-radio era.
