The wartime atmosphere is amplified as Reprazent takes the stage to the sounds of a foundation-shaking bass frequency while servo-controlled spotlights swirl their beams throughout the room like searchlights scanning the skies for bombers.

Reprazent: Hurtling and Floating, At the Jungle Frontier
Reprazent merges live musicians -- drums, percussion, rapper, singer and an all-important bass -- with disk jockey-programmer-keyboardists, Size among them.
The rhythms sputtered and kicked, strobing in synergy with the lights as humans and machines conjured an urban phantasmagoria that was at once ominous and bursting with possibilities.

Starting off as part of Reprazent, Krust was the first artist in the collective to release a solo album.
Reprazent introduced the drum 'n' bass sound to a wide audience when they released the critically acclaimed and commercially accepted "New Forms" (Mercury, 1997).
He worked with Roni Size as part of the collective Reprazent on their 1997 major-label breakout album, "New Forms" (Mercury), and has just released his solo debut, "Coded Language" (Mercury).

What follows that disarming break on Reprazent's double-CD debut, New Forms, solidly defines sublimity, but such genius is business as usual for the six-piece, Bristol-based group.
Reprazent's DJs Krust, Suv, Die and, at one time, Size himself, all came up throwing gigs and putting out vinyl through their own independent record labels.
So Reprazent dare to rework the utopian longings of previous techno-based acts into a more practical, workable message, by way of a down-to-earth English mind-set.

As a result, Reprazent's sleek, highly musical take on drum 'n' bass is equally informed by hip-hop, funk, soul and house.
Reprazent's debut album, New Forms, was released on Full Cycle Records, which Size runs in partnership with DJ Krust.
He doesn't need to touch a button or tell us what he thinks, 'cos we already know what he's thinking.' In consolidation of their mainstream breakthrough (the most significant for jungle since Goldie's debut), Reprazent set out to become the summer sound of 1997 with a series of festival appearances (including Tribal Gathering).

 Hear/Say: America's College Music Magazine - Reviews - Albums - Roni Size & Reprazent: In The Mode   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
That two-disc set raised the bar for the entire electronica scene as it gave the genre's frenetic rhythms and otherworldly sounds something of a human face, with jazz-like melodies and textures amid the keyboards and effects.
Reprazent weren't just computers and samplers making sounds; the stunning artistic success of New Forms announced the expressive potential of the "next big thing" of its day.
The emphasis on In the Mode is shifted to the vocals, and although the beats still carry a lot of punch and still draw upon jazz and dub elements from time to time, they're upstaged by an array of rappers matching inspired rhyming to beats faster than those heard on just about any hip-hop record.

 Roni Size/Reprazent: In The Mode (2000): Reviews
The album moves the way you always hope jungle will, like a cross between a tiger and a snake, yet it's also a kind of mix record, with five showcases for Reprazent's serviceable MC Dynamite, who's as useful as the inevitable Method Man in the crucial matter of providing rap sounds.
Roni Size and Reprazent come back so fast and furious on In the Mode that their record sounds less like a jungle reinvention than a call to arms.
Undoubtedly, hardcore jungleists will scoff at such a high-profile, sometimes flashy presentation of drum'n'bass ethics, but this is an album full of such militant energy that it deserves to be seen as one of the strongest saving graces of jungle in years.

 Eye - New formulas - 03.08.01
Roni Size Reprazent are right back in the studio, setting up their equipment just like they have it onstage and trying to recapture the visceral vibe from their recent performance at Australia's Big Day Out festival.
Suv, Reprazent's creator of "key noises that introduce the tunes or fit between the songs, little stabs, little bursts, reggae echoes" and percussion player, is brimming with excitement and optimism from the session.
Whereas New Forms was created in (relative) obscurity, this time expectations, timing, hype and overexposure were all working against Reprazent, ensuring that the album would be placed under the microscope and the band dragged over the coals had they turned out anything less than a masterpiece.

 The End Arena / Reprazent - Homelands England 2000 review
Later on, Hype lived up to his name and got the crowd going by playing a darker, bassier set than DJ Zinc before him and, as usual, he cut up all the records he played with his trademark furious scratching, before having his tuff sound diluted by the crowd's rendition of Happy Birthday Dear Hype.
As MC Dynamite kept reminding us, they haven't played together as a full crew for nearly two years, but it was clear that they haven't been sitting on their laurels.
The four programmers - Roni Size, Krust, Suv and Die - were arranged Kraftwerk-like behind their consoles at the back of the stage with their drummer and bassist in front of them and delivered a wicked live performance to the not-yet-too-wet crowd.

Indeed, with drum'n'bass in such pseudo-intellectual dire straits (helped put there, ironically enough, by Reprazent's own New Forms), it was a fine time for an album like In the Mode to have its say.
And Reprazent, at least, are saying they've had enough.
So do Reprazent, and they build the album to such a pitch that one can only assume that this is what it sounds like when a genre reclaims its importance.

Since he's essentially a hired gun in Reprazent, Federation allows John to probe his own musical id and affinity for everything from Horace Silver's work with vocalist Andy Bey ("my favorite singer") to the Mahavishnu Orchestra to Freddie Hubbard to Return to Forever.
John is too modest to admit that Federation might have influenced the venerated Reprazent album, but it's not an overstatement to say that the acoustic bass resonating on a song like "Brown Paper Bag" is what makes the album so damn phat.
By the time we're finished a show, my arm is inflamed." Although the energy of a Reprazent show is undeniable, the performances are a lot more "regimental" than John's used to.

Drums ’n’ bass is no longer the darling of the British dance scene (that title belongs to two-step garage now), and house music is the appropriate soundtrack for the dot-com boom.
New Forms’ fusion dreams and jazz flirtations for angular polyrhythms and roughneck rhymes, Size and Reprazent have produced a tightly phrased missive that compels the mainstream to come battle in Bristol.
And by allowing his Reprazent team (producers Die, Suv, and Krust plus MC Dynamite and singer Onalee) equal time in the spotlight, Size creates a multi-pronged attack that goes straight for the jugular.

Roni & Reprazent were themselves as much surprised when they received a prestigious British music award ahead of artists like Spice Girls, jungle is getting really bigger and bigger.
Onallee and MC Dynamite are part of Reprazent's live crew, performing with a real drummer, bassist and guitarist.

 Roni Size Reprazent
In the world of drum ’n’ bass (or jungle, or whatever the IDM list is calling it these days) things move pretty fast — and not just in terms of BPM.
Take Roni Size who, with his Reprazent crew, gave the genre (whatever you want to call it) a face with 1997’s dual-disc New Forms.
Blending hyper-drive hip-hop rhythms with toasted lyricism, chill vocals and inventive sampling, it was a revelation.
