Kool FM Playlist:
Suburban Base Crew: Winston & Dave Nodz + MC Special A | Format FM |1993
Back in the day, before he was involved in the jungle scene, Brockie was playing swing, soul, hip-hop and ragga, amongst other styles. He then swiftly found hardcore and that led him on the start of his journey to where he hit the explosion of the jungle scene.
Brockie has been a known name and a DJ in the scene since 1988, representing in the jungle since day one. In 1991 he teamed up with friends to establish the infamous Kool FM 94.5 - the best and longest standing drum & bass radio station in the world to date!
In 1997 Brockie set up his Undiluted Recordings label with Ed Solo, from which we have seen quality releases and much talent! The label has grown from strength to strength, with each and every new release which is unleashed from the Undiluted camp.
Brockie has played all over the world and because of this, coupled with his long running relationship with Kool, Det and Undiluted, he has become one of the biggest names in the scene.
Peshay & MC Spangler G | Sweet FM, Essex | 1993
Easy D & DJ Kane | Kool FM | August 1993
Kool first broadcast on 28 November 1991 on the frequency of 94.5FM, from Hackney, East London. Kool has stated that it was "the very first pirate station ever to play hardcore jungle". Simon Reynolds would call it "London's ruling pirate station" in an account of the beginnings of jungle in his book Energy Flash, whilst in State of Bass, Martin James would consider it "The single most important pirate station in jungle".
By late 1992, Kool started to promote its own events, leading to the founding of Jungle Fever in August 1993. Jungle Fever nights have been held at venues such as the Astoria and The Edge.
In July 1993, its then-neighbouring station also broadcasting from the Nightingale Estate, Rush FM, was subject to a high profile raid by the authorities leading to media accusations of drug dealing at raves promoted by the two stations.
In April 1996, Kool was featured in a BBC First Sight documentary about pirate radio in London, in which its Kool Skool club night also appeared.
In the same year, it branched out by launching a sister station, Kool FM Midlands based in Birmingham, which continued until 2002.
In May 2007, Kool FM featured in a BBC London News report about pirate radio station interference to the emergency services and their use of the airwaves.
DJs and MCs to appear on Kool have included key figures in jungle and drum and bass music, including Brockie, Det, DJ Ron, MC Navigator, Bryan Gee, MC 5-O, Moose, Andy C, Mampi Swift, DJ Dextrous, Devious D, Ragga Twins, Flirt, Skibadee, Shabba D, Nicky Blackmarket, Tonic, Stevie Hyper D, and Crissy Criss.
