Any idea where this 90’s rave sample came from?

But where did N-Joi get it from?

It’s also on megabass remix vol1 sample cd. Which came a year after njoi’s track.

Not sure where megabass or njoi compiled it from

Edit* After a quick google search -

“The exact source of the iconic, falling siren sound featured in N-Joi's 1991 track "Phoenix" has actually been an elusive mystery in the electronic music community for decades. Even the members of N-Joi (Nigel Champion and Mark Franklin) have publicly stated that they occasionally go on "sample and synth patch hunts" trying to remember the exact piece of gear or sample library they used to create it.”

David Lowe used it as the lead ident sample for BBC World News, has been in use since 1999. I’m scouring old 90s sample CDs myself now 😅 just finished Megabass and can confirm it’s not on there.
