Artwork by Take Me Back Pirate Radio Archives. This set is dedicated to loving memory of Trouble MC RIP.
DJ Flapjack began his profession in the late 80s playing Acid House at illegal raves in Essex and London's surrounding counties.Like many Rude FM DJs and MCs of that era, DJ Flapjack was given his first proper breakthrough as an established circuit DJ at the mega rave "Desire" which was promoted by 2000AD Productions. This in turn gained him the recognition to play out at other big name events to towards the late 90s early 2000s. Flapjack played sets at Best Of British and Helter Skelter which were epic institutions for underground Hardcore, Jungle and Drum & Bass music. This gained him more of a mass appeal.
Flapjack had also gained a following after dedicating years of his career to playing on London's pirate radio stations. Before joining Rude FM, he featured on Don FM and Flex FM (now turned legal Flex FM 101.4).
A year before this recording, Flapjack had established a music production career, releasing tracks on the prestigious, Sophisticated Underground Sounds label. Also getting a release with one of DJ Rap's smaller labels, Unique Muzique (a sister label of Proper Talent). He released three tracks in 1997: Flapjack ‎- Final Solution / Reverb (Sophisticated Underground Sounds), DJ Flapjack - Gulf Breeze/ Lucid Dreams (Unique Muzique), DJ Flapjack ‎- Reverb / Joyous Steps (Sophisticated Underground Sounds).
Flapjack took sometime away from production but has recently started producing for Default Recordings under the alias, Phrase. He has remained as a known DNB circuit DJ mainly playing at festivals with experience playing international in Europe, notably Amsterdam with Rude.

Trouble MC needs no introductions he was an established circuit MC featuring on Rinse FM 97.6 and 91.8 FM before they were taken off air in late 1997, early 1998. Due to Rinse's prolonged time off air he joined Rude FM. Trouble MC featured at a number of mega Jungle raves in the 90s (Jungle Magic & Desert Storm) and is respected veteran MC, although have limited knowledge on what happened to him after 2000. Trouble MC sadly passed away but we celebrate his legacy. Rest In Paradise!!
MC Sparky regularly featured on the Rude FM 104.3. He was a highly skilled and highly underrated MC. We thought he had bags of potential but guess at that time it was incredibly hard to break through. Big up MC Sparky real Junglist pirate radio veteran. Little is known about what happened to Sparky after this period. Does anyone know what he's doing at the moment?
