Top Buzz were a British DJ/MC trio, which performed at rave events in the 1990s.

History

Top Buzz was originally formed in 1988 by MC Patrick McPhee ("Mad P"), DJ Mikee B and DJ Jason Kaye. All originate from the Tottenham areas of north London, although in the 1990s they lived in Enfield.

They were one of the first to popularise the darker sounds of jungle techno as it began to emerge from the hardcore rave sounds from 1991. The band released the Livin' in Darkness EP on Basement Records in 1992, which encapsulates much of the flavour of the era.[1] They were headline performers at Amnesia House, Fantazia, Universe, Dreamscape, and Obsession events, amongst many others.

A distinct feature was the ragga MCing of MC Patrick, strongly influenced by Jamaican dancehall. Patrick often referred to the team as "Two Blacks and a Bubble", a reference to their ethnic origins, with 'bubble' referring to Bubble and Squeak, the Cockney rhyming slang for Greek (Jason K is a Greek Cypriot).[2][3][4]

MC Mad P and DJ Jason Kaye still perform at oldskool hardcore and jungle events across Britain.

After Top Buzz

Jason Kaye has gone on to become a successful and influential producer of UK garage, with Richard "Sticky" Forbes.

Mikee B became part of UK garage outfit Dreem Teem, with a slot on BBC Radio 1 until May 2005.

Patrick McPhee is the son of Cynthia Jarrett, who died in the Broadwater Farm Estate riots in London in 1985.[5] After Top Buzz, he later spent some time in prison.[4]
