### [Mr Kirk's Nightmare](https://waxonia.com/track/4hero--mr-kirks-nightmare/)

*1990 · Reinforced · No. 9 in [Drum and Bass](https://waxonia.com/genre/drum-and-bass/)*

Predates the genre proper and contains its DNA anyway: a sampled police death notification over hardcore breaks. The dread that jungle inherited starts here.

### [Mr Kirk's Nightmare](https://waxonia.com/track/4hero--mr-kirks-nightmare/)

*1990 · Reinforced · Picked by [Dancing to Bad News](https://waxonia.com/theme/dancing-to-bad-news/)*

A sampled police officer telling a father his son is dead from an overdose, looped over hardcore breaks at a rave. The most brutal use of the manoeuvre anyone has attempted, and the reason jungle inherited dread along with the tempo.
