Sound and music artist also associated with underground breakbeat electronica on Irdial discs Brainiak and Plink Plonk records in the late 80s and early 1990s. In the audio visual duo Jack Shit in the late 90's, almost signed to Acid Jazz for 10k in an exchange of briefcases in Hoxton Square. Lawyers rumbled the entire shindig and Ramjac went back underground producing and educating whilst playing tambourine around the world for Dr Das and Dub Colossus.

“A lot of music that we’re into now is a distant relative or cousin of House music. What Ramjac does well, is show up the relationships between different musics and the routes they have taken. Actually, more than a lot of people, Ramjac is the missing link between house, acid house, breakbeat, jungle and dub and percussion based musics.” Dr Das, Asian Dub Foundation.
“The funkiest player on the live House scene.” Kodwo Eshun, ID Magazine, 1991
“History mate, history.” Tony Marcus
“What drugs are you on mate?” Richie Stevens
"I'm tripping and I just want to know if that was me or you" Oliver Devine

Your piece is actually more like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_Liaa4GatY&feature=related because it is the same song but different versions. I have more.... ;)
But this is the Jazz stuff.
actually this reminds me of Alvin lucier's 'I am sitting in a Room'
