I'm sure y'all know about the roots of hip hop. Sampling, drum breaks, DJ's and MC's. The roots of jungle are similar in a lot of aspects, utilizing drum breaks, sampling, etc, except it grew out of the breakbeat hardcore/free party scene in the UK.

The style of music is meant for DJ's to mix at parties, so a lot of the song structure reflects that. It's better to listen to in mixes imo.

Essential Listens

Goldie was also briefly engaged to Bjork

There's also a Good Looking Records (Bukem's Label) documentary from 1996 on youtube. The label manager is a complete jackass. It's like watching mid 90's rave Spinal Tap

Lots of early rave influence on this one^ Rave stabs

Drake - Jungle

Caught this on a Kemistry & Storm mix but never got the ID. This hard.

Jungle is massive

Remarc still plays out a lot, he played a set in Baltimore a couple weeks ago. Just a bit too far from me

He's got a ton of classics

Wish he came to NYC, too. But this is mostly a techno city. There isn't really a jungle scene here.

Mad de whole ah demI spin dem like a windmill

He played in NYC a couple weeks ago

DnB/jungle is huge in NYC. Follow Betty Ford, Liondub, and BP2 to stay in the loop
