Made in 2009 by Rollo Jackson, Tape Crackers: An Oral History of Jungle Pirate Radio is a must-watch for junglists and rave historians. The documentary focuses solely on bedroom obsessive Michael Finch and his vast collection of pirate radio tape recordings made in the mid to late ’90s, with Finch offering his expert knowledge on each one. It’s not just about drum ‘n bass, it’s about a bygone era when serious fandom required real dedication.
“You can’t Google this stuff!”
“The D90s might be dusty but this music still sounds ultra-crisp.”
“an oral history of Jungle music and an affectionate, touching, and, at times, incredibly funny, tale of bedroom obsessiveness”
