Not quite. It was the producers who killed jungle because the only way they could get paid for gigs was to DJ and with the exception of a few people like Bukem and Hype they didnt have the skills.
So the choice they had was to either learn to play like Kenny Ken or Randall. Spend years navigating the twisted tributaries of jungle production OR just make the music more DJ friendly.
They chose the latter.
I mean if you look at this tracklist from 95. yes some of it may be minimal/basic in execution but you can't deny that most (if not all) of this music is unimpeachable. Are you saying the music some of these producers produced, they couldn't mix it? Of course others left...
