Artwork by Take Me Back Pirate Radio Archives. Skibadee at this point had established a formidable partnership with MC Det releasing their first UK Hip Hop single a few months after this set Two Times Freestyle "New Style Avengers" and "Slowmo". Skibadee was a household name and he was headlining practically every Jungle/DNB event with his name on top of the bill. Skiba had also formed SASAS (with Shabba D and Shockin B), they featured with DJ Trend on his debut show on Kool FM in late 1997, check the link:    • Skibadee, Shabba D, Shockin B & DJ Trend (...   The SASAS came about decades before the SASASAS (Skibadee, Shabba, Harry Shotta, Stormin (RIP), DJ Phantasy & Macky Gee) and its formation should been seen as the beginning of the present SASASAS. DJ Trend (RIP) was a legendary pirate radio DJ and producer. In 1994 began his career on Rinse FM 97.6 and continued to play sets on Rinse's new dial of 91.8FM in 1997, before making his switch to Kool FM in 1997. Trend started producing tracks at the age of 17 with his good friend DJ Target (BBC Radio 1Xtra), calling themselves T.N.T. (TNT). Trend was regularly cutting his tracks on dub plate and playing them on his sets with the SS Crew - (Target, Trend, Wiley (Eskiboy), Caspit and Breeze (Roll Deep)) on east London's Rinse FM. His early tracks grabbed the attention of Jungle/DNB industry heads, with releases like "Anthem" (Miditraks, 1997) with the help Music House Studio a dub plate cutting studio, in Holloway Rd. Also producing under the alias Macko - Fade Away / Tune Your Bass (Fury Recordings, 1997). Trend also gained more success a year after this recording with "Tune Your Bass" and "Flight 747"(Live Recordings, 1998). However, the main focus was the year of 1997 when Trend took the Jungle rave scene by storm with the T.N.T - 2 Degrees - Kartoons label (1997). Nicky Blackmarket the owner of the Kartoons label had discovered the teenage sensation and 2 Degrees was getting the thumbs up by DJs nationwide and MCs were calling for its rewind. 2 Degrees went down a treat at raves like, One Nation, Telepathy, Slammin Vinyl, Jungle Fever, Desire, Heat, Warning, World Dance and many rave nights. It wasn't just a 1997 anthem it was played for many years to come and impact was immense also remixed by Dominator (RIP). Trend got noticed by the likes of Kool FM 94.5, in east London, who eventually poached him from their rival Rinse FM 91.8. He wasn't the only one to join Kool FM from Rinse, with MC Maxwell D (Pay As You Go Cartel) and DJ Nicky Slim Ting (East Connection) who were recruited. Later on that year, Trend went on to headline Jungle Fever 1998 World Cup 98 @Stratford Rex, in the second arena.
