Jungle
so you don't agree that the police are the best band ever?
bit of an l for them, they should have backed Kamala. Trump is too opportunistic for them to last long.
A bit like everyone who backed Starmer and now he has no ones support. bad choices!
not jungle, but immediately though of this sample (not from a jungle tune, but I KNOW @thirdform has to know it)
edit: gravedigger has nothing to do with it - random image choice
now y'all kiss and make up and i'm hoping you can both make it sunday to the party since you're two of the people here that I think might dig it

no beef on my end, i'm just chatting shit to pass the time.
Frankly I can admire the tenacity of moronic jump up fans, at least they aren't self-conscious and aren't seeking artistic validation from a form which can only deliver that to a limited extent. It's people like me who are the losers lol, unable to fully submit to the demands of high culture. Inverted snob innit. The archetypical dissensus position. Nothing to be ashamed of!
But then people like Alec Empire have always gotten dance music more than us in some respects. It ultimately is not really all that different to rock n roll. We just tell ourselves different stories because we want something more classy and sophisticated. Because who wants to be compared to students and guitars?

proper ragga jungle techno 93 style, the best.
heretical opinion maybe but 93 ragga jungle > 94 amen ragga rinseouts. maybe? I would need to actually compile a list to gauge whether that is true. I love both 2 da max, but don't really vibe with the modern ragga sound, feels too disconnected from dancehall or sound systems in general.

D'Cruze - Lonely
Blame and Justice - Night Vision

There's just something in original jungle what the revival stuff doesn't have... For example basslines: like this track has space in bassline, and generally bassline melodies were catchier. The humble sine bass needs some effort to sound good I guess.

I'm interested just why it is these things can't be recaptured, some combination of changes within the environment, the people, the technology. You can have producers who were there, give them the same gear they had back in the day and even they'll struggle to tap into whatever it was.
I guess musical influence is one thing. Original junglists were directly influenced by rare groove, reggae, hiphop, acid house/techno/rave. I think the oomph, impact and immediacy comes from rare groove/reggae/hiphop, which has that "real" immediacy compared to dance music. Also the original working class raves must have influence, where ravers went to actually have fun
And the basslines, they're actually composed. What I'm trying to say is they have catch. Even when they're wild/experiemental, you can hear how producers had an idea going on - "what if I try to put it in this crazy way".

Heard him and Tim reaper play at the weekend, on shrooms. He’s a seriously precise producer and he really brings the hi spec slickness aomgsidenthe roughness and the time warp sucks and sprinkles and stone skimmy delays of the best old school stuff

It was an apocalyptic posh crustie student crowd thiough. Me and my mate were the oldest people there apart from one OG crustie. Felt like undercover cops, and when we pointed it out while tripping we became overly conscious of everything we did until we were acting like undercover cops, dancing like undercover cops
