It’s 1995. You’ve just landed in London, a whirl of excitement, curiosity, and a flicker of fear. It’s your first time away from home, alone. The city pulses around you, alive in a way that’s both overwhelming and welcoming. As you meander through Camden’s labyrinthine markets, your eyes fall on a small, hidden booth, its shelves overflowing with worn CDs and tapes. A young man behind the counter looks not much older than you, but the life has been harsher on him. With a quiet, toothless smile, he hands you a cassette with no label, just a cryptic text: "Drum and Bass." There’s something about the way the words hang in the air, like a secret you’ve been waiting for. You can’t resist. You buy it, your fingers trembling just slightly, and later, in the solitude of your hostel room, you press play.
The music floods you like a gentle storm—warm, yet electric. The deep bass vibrates in your chest, and the hypnotic rhythms swirl around you, pulling you into a world you didn’t know existed. It’s a feeling you can’t quite place, but it feels like it’s always been a part of you. You listen to it over and over again, losing track of time, letting the music carve out a space where nothing else matters. The city outside fades, the noise and the crowd all disappearing into the beats. It’s as if the rhythm becomes your anchor, a rhythm you didn’t know you were searching for.
Years pass. Life moves on. The tape, like so many things, is lost, swallowed by time. But one day, while scrolling through YouTube, you stumble across a mix—those familiar basslines, the atmospheric swirls, the beats that once marked the pulse of your youth. You sit down, put on your headphones, and close your eyes. The music wraps around you like a soft, familiar embrace, pulling you back. You’re there again. You’re back in Camden—in that London of the ‘90s—surrounded by the colors, the sounds, the raw energy of the city. It’s all alive again, and with it, the feeling that something inside of you has finally come home. You smile, a quiet sense of contentment settling in your bones. That lost piece of you has returned, and with it, you are whole again.
