🔊 DJ Facs | Rude 104.3 FM, London | May 1998 | JUNGLE DRUM AND BASS 🎯🎯

🔊 Step into the raw underground energy of late-90s London with this heavy-duty jungle and drum & bass session from DJ Facs, broadcasting live on the mighty Rude 104.3 FM in May 1998. This is a proper pirate radio time capsule — the kind of authentic recording that captures the essence of an era when DJs, MCs, and ravers built the UK’s rave legacy from the streets up.

🎛️ DJ Facs, a well-respected figure in the jungle/D&B scene, lays down a dark, rolling selection filled with heavyweight basslines, chopped amens, and deep subs — the sound of underground drum & bass at its finest. Rude FM was one of the capital’s most important pirate stations, giving voice to the culture long before mainstream attention.

🎯 Who is this for?
This one’s essential for jungle heads, D&B purists, 90s rave culture lovers, vinyl mix tape hunters, and collectors of pirate radio gold. If you crave the unpolished, authentic rave experience with hissy tape warmth and dubplate pressure — this set will hit you right in the nostalgia.

🔥 Why you need to watch this:
Because it’s real jungle history, not a polished studio mix or a YouTube recreation. This is how it actually went down — raw, live, and straight from the underground. DJ Facs on Rude FM is a lost treasure from the heyday of 90s drum & bass culture. Don’t sleep on this rare slice of rave heritage.

Over the years, Rude FM has been host to some of the most renowned names from the scene.
Rude FM was established in the early 90s around 92/93 on London's FM dial on 104.3 frequency. It started playing Hardcore Jungle music before the sound developed it what is known as the Drum & Bass. It featured some of the scene's most celebrated DJs, MCs, producers and artists.

It was celebrated as one of the top three DNB pirate radio stations of it's era, showcasing the likes of: DJs: Smokey Joe (Smokester), DJ Facs, DJ Dylan, DJ Sly, DJ Choppa D (The Clairvoyants / SBR (Spectral Band Replication)), DJ XS, DJ Lix, DJ Chillem (Chillum), DJ Agent K, DJ Little Jon, DJ Lady Siras (Lady Cyrus), DJ Fuse, DJ Overdrive, DJ Lady Flava, DJ Devastate, DJ E, DJ System, DJ Haze, DJ Wagner, DJ Lady Wipeout, DJ Vibestein, DJ General Sparks, DJ Ricky Red Eye, DJ Shocker T, DJ Stylee, DJ BFG, DJ Frogger, DJ Nicam, DJ Terry Tee (Knowledge & Wisdom Records), DJ Rollin' Mat, DJ Tubby, plus many more.

MCs: MC Evil B (B-Live), MC Eksman, MC Herbzie, MC Twist & MC Hot Rocks, MC Speedee (Speedy), MC Pedro, MC Penfold, MC Cisco, MC Manic Mouse, MC SLS, MC Rudie, MC Ranking, MC KP, MC Sparky, MC Shaydee, MC Kray Z B, MC Blacka, MC Smiley, MC Trouble (RIP), MC Lok-i (aka Jamaican English), MC Rizla, MC Little T, MC Fuse, MC Excellent, MC Ringo, MC Cisco, MC Jookie, MC Marvel and many more.

In 1998 there was a schism because of a rift between the management. Fugi (Fugitive) who was part of the management took the name Rude FM and set up on the 88.2FM dial taking many of the DJs and MCs whilst Chillum (Chill'em) and Lady Cyrus continued to manage the newly styled Ruud Awakening FM on 104.3. It continued to have some of the old guard but attracted new MCs and DJs to the station.

However, their period of time on air wasn't for too long. Kool FM had benefited from this schism also poaching many of the former Rude FM DJs and MCs. Some of the artists jumped on to the UK Garage scene and Drum & Bass like we used to know it was also transforming.

By the early 2000s Ruud Awakening would go off air and this allowed new emerging pirate radio stations like Origin FM 95.2 to snap up all the remaining talent on to their books.
