Classic Track: Roni Size – Brown Paper Bag

One of the most iconic 90s drum & bass tracks of all time, Roni Size & Reprazent‘s Brown Paper Bag was one of the tunes which transcended the genre as a whole and played a part in the massive upsurge in popularity that we saw in the late 90s and early 2000s. Featuring elements of the jungle sound that was beginning to take a back foot and the emerging sound of what we now know as drum & bass, and fusing it with the sounds of funk, jazz and hip-hop that made up the unique Reprazent sound, the track is truly a timeless classic – every bit as fresh today as it was back in 1997, and still capable of moving a floor like nobody’s business.

The video isn’t bad either, so check it out below and relive the glory days!
