All Crews - Drum & Bass Book Update


All Crews Drum & Bass Culture - Exclusive Updates image


INTRO BOX-OUT
In December 2004 Vision Publishing, the Author Bryan Belle-Fortunepublishers of Knowledge, published a book. Entitled All Crews it's a journey through drum & bass from its inception by Brian Belle-Fortune.

 

Brian conceived and co-produced One In The Jungle, Britain's first national jungle program for Radio One. His TV credits include BBC South, Channel 4 and MTV where he specialised in underground youth culture, particularly jungle.

 

He was also label manager for DJ Ron's London Some'Ting Records, and has played on London pirate radio stations Rude FM/Ruud Awakening as DJ Zy:on.

 

All Crews was originally published in 1999 and 2000 as All Crew Muss Big Up and the original version of the book is republished alongside an extensive update.

 

Featuring interviews with top artists, it delves deeper, looking at the pirate radio stations, labels, crews, promoters and ravers that form the backbone of the scene.

 

In this feature Brian looks at what’s been happening in the world of drum & bass since All Crews was published.


"There’s so much more out there Colin but there’s a danger of just writing long lists of names. But between Herbal and Fabric via the rest of the world; that’s some healthy Jungle Drum & Bass spectrum."

"Back to write some more?" "I dunno. Kate ‘n’ I are expectin’ a Christmas baby. But you know what I say about Jungle? ‘You can check out any time you like but you can never leave’."


To make things even easier to digest we've spilt it down to their appropriate chapters and relevant author comments, as follows:


"All Crews" is available to buy for a special price of £10 including p+p for the Christmas period. For more info and also promotions for international orders visit Amazon above or check out www.Knowledgemag.co.uk/AllCrews.
