man thanks sooooo much for those dj nate imeem rips, i was gonna post here out of pure frustration of this stuff never being available, and imeem not seeming to work. seems like out of everyone dj nate has just stopped or somthing, and he seems like the one that really epitomises a certain strain of juke that just isnt in a lot of the more polished gheto-tech style mixes etc, a kinda lo-fi noisyness that really drew me to this genre.
yeah, me too - i downloaded his new rap mixtape from datpiff - so depressing
niceone! this seems alot more like the stuff im hearing in juke videos, alot more "out there". Not to keen on the Jarassic Park remix though ha.

Your loss that tune is great.
Loads of old hardcore had really dodgy sample sources, it's all about the recontextualisation innit
absolutely. 'ardkore used those samples and made them divine...and I personally like 'Stan'
i think as well more then anything for me the discovery of juke has been the discovery of a new kind of lo-fi, one thats completley digital and has nothing to do with romantisised images of old dusty tape plays and crackly accidents on vintage synths. id like to know how close those dj nate tracks are to the original, how many times its been converted to dodgy mp3 quality and back. i can see why a producer would wanna disown their previous body of work for being so (conventionally) poorly produced, but its hit upon some new effect in the process.
Personally, I find that my favourite Juke tracks are the ones with the worst samples
See into my eyes is my favourite track of all, I don't know if it's because it's the first Juke track I heard and I have bonded with it because of that, or if it is because of the amazing way it gets 'worse' right at the point where you think it is actually going to drop
Been listening to this DJ Clent mixtape that Al forwarded over to me, absolutely love it. I love the way that when the tunes are thrown into the mix, the vocal samples sort of mash together and form a new tune, and an entirely different sample, that, in theory, could be re-sampled. Sick.
The way I play this stuff to people and they either a. hate it or b. don’t get it, is wonderful too.
@BareBones on that mix that you put up, there is a tune that drops just before the ‘u hit the ground’ remix thing, with the ‘so cry to me’ sample, that tune is fucking disgusting, especially when the bass comes in. This stuff is something else man, am I crazy though because I swear I hear some old school jungle samples all over that mix. It’s fucking hard

Nancy Sinatra in the house! Wish someone'd do a juke version of Some Velvet Morning.

Freekin U was sampled in a jungle tune but I don't think there are anyother jungle samples in those tracks can anyone else spot any?
I think the overall feel of the music the slow/fast sweet/sour thing is what brings up that jungle feeling.
Especially the Nate tracks with pitched up vocals.
For me they sound like that transition phase 92-93 from Hardcore to Jungle.
I always think of this
In some ways Juke is what Jungle could have been if producers had managed to keep that balance of intense cut up drums and floor moving hype tunes.
Such a shame that it split and now seems to be either one or the other
Everyone lauds Instramental & D Bridge but I can't remember ever hearing a forward thinking progressive D&B tune that actually made me want to dance
