💿 VANGUARD VAULTS #064 💿

🎵 dBRIDGE & VEGAS - TRUE ROMANCE
📀 Metalheadz Platinum | METPLA 001 | 2004

🖤 THE B-SIDE THAT BECAME IMMORTAL!!

By 2003, Darren White was at a crossroads.

After Bad Company, dBridge admitted he felt lost, unsure where he fitted or even whether he was still relevant. Listening to Calibre, spending time around Fabio’s Swerve world and working with his brother Steve Spacek pulled him towards something deeper and more soulful.

Then came True Romance.

dBridge later revealed that a new relationship gave him the confidence to branch out. After a night at Fabio’s legendary night at The End, he heard two words that perfectly described the sound he was searching for:

“AGGRESSIVELY BEAUTIFUL.”

That became the blueprint.

Warm Rhodes. Weightless melody. Surgical drums. A bassline carrying genuine menace underneath.

Beauty and aggression occupying the same six minutes.

🤯 And here’s the incredible part…

True Romance wasn’t even supposed to be THE tune.

Bellini was the A-side, the track dBridge says Goldie went crazy for. True Romance was simply something they had for the flip.

The B-side became one of the defining D&B records of the 2000s.

It was also METPLA 001, the FIRST release on Metalheadz Platinum, with fellow Bad Company member Vegas credited for his contribution.

🧬 DEEP VAULT DETAIL: sample trainspotters eventually identified that gorgeous Rhodes passage as coming from Kyoto Jazz Massive’s 2002 Shine. Even more fitting? dBridge has specifically said he was listening heavily to Kyoto Jazz Massive during this exact period.

🇯🇪 Vanguard Archives: This era means everything to us, a time when Drum & Bass proved heavyweight music never had to sacrifice emotion. True Romance still has that rare ability to stop a room without shouting.

🖤 AGGRESSIVELY BEAUTIFUL.

22 YEARS LATER… IT STILL FEELS PERFECT.

👇 Is TRUE ROMANCE one of the greatest Drum & Bass B-sides ever pressed?

🏆✨VANGUARD VAULTS #050✨🏆

50 records. 30+ years of Jungle & Drum and Bass. Thousands of memories. But if we had to save just ONE… this might be it. 🖤

👑 GOLDIE ft. DIANE CHARLEMAGNE – INNER CITY LIFE
📀 FFRR | 1994

🇯🇪 Vanguard Archives: During our formative years, while helping establish a genuine Jungle & Drum and Bass scene in Jersey, we were incredibly fortunate to bring Goldie to the island countless times.

We went from young ravers inspired by his music… to sharing stages and sold out shows with one of the people who helped shape the culture we loved.

Those nights became part of our DNA. 🙏🖤

🌃 Some records soundtrack an era. Inner City Life transcended one.

In 1994, jungle was exploding from the underground. Then Goldie, alongside Rob Playford and the unforgettable Diane Charlemagne, showed just how far this music could go.

Ferocious breaks. Deep bass. Strings. Atmosphere. Soul. Emotion.

It was jungle - but suddenly it felt cinematic, human and limitless.

And Diane’s voice? 🕊️
Not simply a vocal. The soul of the record.

Inner City Life became the emotional heart of Timeless, helping prove to the wider world what junglists already knew:

THIS MUSIC WAS ART.

For everyone who has lived this music, it’s never been “just Drum & Bass”.

It’s the vinyl. The tapes. The raves. The friendships. The journeys home at sunrise. The memories triggered by one break, one bassline, one voice.

And few records hold all of that like this one.

👑 GOLDIE
🕊️ DIANE CHARLEMAGNE
🌃 INNER CITY LIFE

50 VAULTS DEEP… and right back to one of the reasons we fell in love with this music.

🖤 KNOW THE PAST. LIVE THE PRESENT. SHAPE THE FUTURE.

👇 One record to preserve forever - what are you choosing?

Two years gone 🖤 Forever in our hearts ❤️

💿 VANGUARD VAULTS #028 💿

🎵 Randall & Andy C - Sound Control
📀 RAM Records | 1995

✨ Some people inspire your music, others inspire your entire life 👑 

I’ve chosen Sound Control for today’s From The Crates because, to me, it represents everything Randall stood for. Released on RAM Records in 1995, it perfectly captured the raw energy, precision and innovation that made him one of the most influential DJs our scene has ever known. But this post isn’t really about the record…

It’s about the man.

Like thousands of others, I was a young kid mesmerised by Randall’s tapes from packs like Dreamscape, World Dance & AWOL. Every mix taught me something new. Every minute of every day I’d be on my 1210s trying to recreate just a fraction of what I’d heard on these tapes. Without ever knowing it, Randall lit the spark that became a lifelong obsession with Jungle and Drum & Bass.

🇯🇪 Vanguard Archives: Because of that inspiration, we started promoting our own events in Jersey, and 2002, we proudly welcomed Randall to play the first ever Drum & Bass event at Madisons Nightclub. To DJ before the person who had inspired me from the age of 14 was surreal. Over the next two decades he became part of the Vanguard family, returning to Jersey time and time again, creating unforgettable memories and earning the love and respect of everyone who saw him play.

🖤 They called him “The DJ’s DJ” because every great DJ looked up to him. I simply called him my hero.

Thank you, Randall… for the music, the inspiration and the memories. Without you, Vanguard may never have existed. Your legacy lives on every time one of us drops the needle on a jungle record.

Too Hot To Handle. Forever. 👑🕊️

Rest easy, Randall. Thank you for everything 🤍

words never seem to do any justice when i speak about croatia.

going on my own this year was a no brainer because not being there was just simply not an option. turns out, I think its been my favourite year yet.

just when I think @hospitalityonthebeach cant get any more special, somehow every year tops the last.

the music, the location, the energy, the sheer level of hard work that goes on behind the scences.
it really is impeccable. 

tisno, you are magic.

5 years down and forever to go ✨️🐚🌊🥥🫂🫶🐟🌺🩴
