this is very nice - the processed vocal is like a glaze over the busy beats
I like some of those Tim Reaper tunes e.g. the Special Request remix (I know they're not what you're talking about) but at the same time I do wonder if it's just a case of retreading the same old classic sounds – so the idea of people making jungle who don't really know what jungle was is interesting to me.
guess i'm also part of the "Ishkur generation" as far as getting into electronic music and a key aspect was def how beautifully half-familiar yet lost-to-time all those horrible quality excerpts of tunes sounded. whatever you'd call that feeling it's certainly not future shock. and ofc that quality has been a hallmark of internet music for 10+ years.I was sort of early on this one, discovered jungle (and honestly, my first love, happy hardcore) in 2008, as an American suburban 14 year old, thru Ishkur's guide to electronic music and Newgrounds audio forum (I think jungle was popular there because of video game music... think Bomberman for N64. One of the biggest producers there was ParagonX9, who was making little drum n bass tracks for people's flash videos), then I picked up FL Studio to try producing some.
wow, really? let me tell you guys, NO ONE would have to explain that to me, that's for sure, absolutely no one, nothing to see here folks, i know ALL about it...i just did a class on the Jamaican-UK thing and it is a bit disorienting to realise how little of the context is known to even pretty hip and widely listened 20-year-olds. For instance I had to explain what a 12-inch single was and how it differed from a 7-inch single - in order to get to why using 7-inches made the Jamaican approach to deejaying so different.

imo, connecting jungle to old video games and anime via samples, artwork, etc. is a very good move on these producers' parts. you have to draw on magic from some source, and i guess where i might disagree with the orthodoxy around here is that i think fictional worlds and characters can be as good a source of musical inspiration as irl parties or whatever.
I could do with this one being explained tbh. Why is mixing different on 7 inch vs 12?wow, really? let me tell you guys, NO ONE would have to explain that to me, that's for sure, absolutely no one, nothing to see here folks, i know ALL about it...

yeah cos, correct me if i'm wrong, but single turntable was used primarily in the early days of sound system is that right? like 70s i mean, in this country.

Sure thing!I would actually very seriously like a few of you to peer review this article I'm writing on 70s/80s sound system scene from my town. @william_kent @john eden @sufi @blissblogger
