📢 UPDATE FROM PESHAY 📢

After an incredible outpouring of support from the drum & bass/electronic music community, you’ll be aware that YouTube has restored my 1996 Studio Set and Tom Middleton & Mark Pritchard's "The Chameleon - Links" ✅.

The original upload from Ambiance has also been fully restored.

However, during this process, we were contacted by numerous artists who have also faced, and continue to face, alarmingly similar situations.

This isn’t solely a YouTube issue. This isn’t an isolated case. This is widespread.

The fight is far from over.

Whilst the infringing tracks, in our case, have been removed from YouTube, they remain live across other major platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music. The individual's US Copyright Office registrations are also still active, and tellingly, their YouTube channel has been restored with what appears to be zero consequences for their actions.


Over the past weeks, my management team has been in direct conversations with all major UK music bodies about this issue. The response has been overwhelming, and the support has been genuine. This has highlighted just how widespread this problem really is.

The restoration of our content proves that when the music community speaks up, platforms listen. But this is just the beginning. Legacy music deserves proper protection, and artists should not have to fight tooth and nail to reclaim their own cultural heritage.

There is a lot more coming. Big announcements lie ahead.

This story is far from finished 🔥

Thank you to everyone who signed the petition, shared the story, and refused to let our musical history be erased. Your support means everything.

Thank you,

Peshay. 🙏❤️

By 1997, drum and bass had truly gone worldwide. DJs were travelling to all different parts of the globe to play this music. I remember in 1997 going to Japan to DJ for the first time, touring different cities, including Tokyo and Nagoya. The energy in Japan was electric, with people going crazy for the music. I remember at the end of gigs, many people coming up to the decks looking for me to sign records and T-shirts, it was insane. It made me realise that drum and bass was getting huge everywhere and people were loving it.

I also remember my sets started featuring a lot of different tracks from V Recordings, the label started by Bryan G and Jumping Jack Frost in the early 90s. In 1997, I was playing a lot of music from two main labels that I released tracks on, Metalheadz and Good Looking Records. But in 1997, my sets started featuring a lot of tracks from V, who had already released some classics. I especially liked V because, like Metalheadz and Good Looking, they had a unique sound, including the infamous Bristol sound created by the likes of Roni Size, DJ Krust and DJ Die, all featured on my new History of Drum and Bass Mix 1997 for @applemusic. 🔥🙏

Club nights like Metalheadz Sunday Sessions at the Blue Note and Speed at the Milk Bar on a Thursday night were also going strong in 1997. I distinctly remember playing at a night called ‘Movement’ at Bar Rumba, Shaftsbury’s, which was put on by Bryan G and a company called Bulldozer. That was a great regular night that featured all the DJs from the drum and bass scene and ran for a good few years. There were a lot of clubs in London that were elevating the music, The End, Turnmills and Bagley’s amongst others. 🎶🎧

1997 cemented strong foundations for the music, club nights and the scene in general. It was clear by now that Drum and Bass was here to stay and was expanding internationally.

The final mix I did for the Yaman series was in 1994

Remastering these mixes has reminded me how quickly the scene was changing at that time. The differences in the music from 91 - 94, all considered hardcore rave, was incredible. 1994 was the start of jungle/drum and bass really breaking through into the big time.

https://youtu.be/TlnoHux7ptY

Innovation in the scene, with new production techniques, was really shining through with many different influences from sound system culture to soul and jazz. It was a very expressive time, and one I remember with fond memories, as we were creating and contributing to this new genre.

Enjoy this digitally remastered mix for 2025. 👆🎶📺

🚨 Drum & Bass history is under threat. Music itself is under threat.

YouTube has removed my iconic "1996 Studio Set" TWICE due to disputed copyright claims.

Dice Ryu Sykes has registered "Chameleon - Links" (1995) Good Looking Records as Tropical Jungle (Remade) (2008) with the United States Copyright Office, without any authorisation.

Over 34,000 DMCA claims targeted legitimate content in 2022, we can’t let bad actors erase our culture.

👉 Sign the petition to demand that YouTube reform its takedown system and protect legacy music.

Time to travel back to 1996 on Apple Music with my series The History of Drum and Bass. I remember '96 being a very busy year!. Drum and Bass had become international and I remember pretty much living out of a suitcase in 96, there were so many gigs all over the place it all became a bit of a blur at times. The drum and bass scene was growing at an exponential rate, with artists really starting to find their own signature sound. Some truly ground breaking music was being made. 🔥🙏

Listen: music.apple.com/gb/album/the-history-of-drum-and-b…

Drum and bass had started to gain mass appeal and the scene was going from strength to strength. I remember playing to packed out shows all across Europe and beyond, it was amazing to see and feel how far the music had travelled and how it had been accepted. 1996 was one of my favourite periods, the club's and raves were amazing and, a lot of the music being produced at that time has gone on to become truly legendary. 🎶🎧

This is a snapshot of 1996, with the tracks and artists I remember playing at that time. ❤️
