DJ RANDALL, the pioneering drum & bass DJ often called “the godfather of breakbeat,” has died aged 54. The tragic news was confirmed by one of his representatives as tributes pour in for the late star.
Randall, along with Fabio and Grooverider, transformed jungle in the 1990s with his unique skills.
As a vinyl-obsessed youngster and amateur record scratcher, he first experienced acid house during Notting Hill Carnival in 1987, before establishing his own distinct style of breakbeat hardcore.
He was a frequent presence on pirate radio stations such as Rave FM and Rinse FM before joining Centreforce in 1989.
