Bristol native Roni Size is one of the U.K. jungle scene's most respected names, with production credits spanning dozens of labels, projects and releases. Size's influence as a producer, label owner, and committed underground magnate figured him as one of the emerging sound's true pioneers. The breakout success of his debut album New Forms finally confirmed his stature and vaulted him to a greater degree of popularity than any drum'n'bass producer.

Born to Jamaican immigrant parents, Roni grew up in the Bristolean suburb of St. Andrews (home to Tricky, Massive Attack, and Smith & Mighty), where he learned the fundamentals of hip-hop through the area's sounds systems, house parties, and underground clubs. Expelled from school Size started dabbling with house and reggae production in the late '80s. He hooked up with labelmates DJ Krust, Suv, and DJ Die at the 1990 Glastonbury Festival, and the four stayed in contact eventually forming Size's longest running musical commitment to date: his own Full Cycle label.

Although hardly popular in the days before ragga (then jump-up) ruled the decks,the crew now counts a number of classics among their credits including Size's "It's a Jazz Thing," Krust's "Jazz Note," and Reprazent's Reasons for Sharing EP -the crew's first outing through major label subsidiary Talkin' Loud.The success

Strictly limited-edition 12” vinyl in full colour sleeve. Mercury Prize winner Roni Size is one of the true pioneers of the Drum and Bass / Jungle scene, and one of only a handful of names to transcend the genre to become a real household name. The Roni Size and Reprazent debut studio album New Forms went platinum a staggering five times, which shined a huge spotlight onto what was an underground scene healthily bubbling under the surface.

'Cold Front' was one of the many dubplates that Roni produced when he was on fire in the mid 90's. 'Locked Down' became an early 2000s Movement Anthem when we were in Bar Rumba, it was sought after by every Jump Up DJ at the time... everybody was trying to sign it." Bryan Gee

Both cuts are a snapshot of Roni's signature sound, a must-have for any fans. The seventh part in this vinyl series, with yet more legends waiting in the wings. These are an absolute essential for vinyl collectors.
