Jungle

[dHarry]

And just to represent for the post-amen rinse-out de-generation, here's the original minimalist proto-2step "jazzy" choon: Alex Reece - Pulp Fiction



this is also well into the "intelligent" drum and bass era that was the beginning of the end for jungle, but it's a gorgeous tune with that sighing Burial-esque emotional lushness: Futurebound - Sorrow

[luka]

Forget those other tunes, this is the only one you need:

Prizna ft. The Demolition Man - Fire

demolition man is my best mates cousin

[lissajou]

kemet the box remix, miserable tune

yes, but the original is so fucking hype, it is frankly unbelievable:

I wanna know the best jungle tracks. im a teenager in america so i totally missed out on the whole of jungle. Actually i would rather you not tell me the "best" tracks because i don't want to limit myself ie i want to make up my own mind. so just give me a jumping off point.

D00d, just get one thing into yr head about jungle. It' the most significant and original Limey music of the last 20 years!! simon Reynolds should write a book on it, coz they've never done any decent music since! All British 'electronica' that is worth pissing on is derived from jungle. They finally got their own indigenous 'soul' music via jungle. Fuck the simulacrum that was Brit-pop and shoegazer, jungle is the real deal.

It's as simple as that!

well sadly no ones aware of jungle here in dallas. when people (in dallas) think UK its the sixties and Oasis, no one's aware of grime and acid house ardkore, jungle etc. most havent even heard of Burial or Dizzee Rascal.Someone should write about Jungle, i've seen simon reynolds books in the art museum. I read the one about post-punk and wait, isn't Enery Flash about jungle and stuff?

You need to read energy flash, its a tremendous book. Especially good on hardcore and jungle in particular.

Yeah ENERGY FLASH is pretty much the 'psychotic reactions and carburator dung' of techno, minus the gonzo.

I used to converse online with a bloke from the legenday MOTORBOOTY magzine who was big into jungle and two-step, he was in Chicago so there was a bit if a scene there, as there was also one in New
york, but they got a fucken scene for anything the mind can think of!

Crack junglist murderation:

[fokse vektaire xeven]

I suppose it's partly down to the production methods of the time, but this ish is so fuckin raw. i miss it

fuck i'm old

[subvert47]

Yeah, he kinda sunk into mediocrity with his later releases on subbase and Runnin', and then just vanished. His LP is fantastic though.

really?
I never knew he made an LP
oops

[droid]

AFAIK, the only genuine jungle collaboration with Jamaican deejays.

[HMGovt]

I was never the same after hearing the vertical bass drop on this.
1'20 in, it's like the last sound your brain would make the moment you failed your bomb disposal practical exam

Dillinja - You Don't Know Remix (1994)


Starts off strong, but it's the mental warping bassline around 2'40 that does it
Tribe of issachar - His imperial majesty (1997)

[DJ PIMP]

That Dillinja is so classic... the stop-start of the drums coupled with the bass is well brootl.

Another frosty Dillinja fave is Threshold... his most elegant hardstep track imo:
