lol.



Always thought he was the jump up of jungle revivalists, quantity over quality. Ironically he excelled better when he was making stuff that sounded least like jungle.

But in short this is kind of my misgivings about jungle revivalists disowning the dnb, it just becomes an exercise in whatever you can sample over an amen. people criticise 303 revivalists and it's kind of the same thing here. Not to say that you can't do interesting things with the amen form, but it's template 95% of the time.



might archive this as an example of where the jungle revival ultimately can end up if one is not strict and totalitarian in their musical production aesthetic. Sample is an Israeli childrens record apparently.

dissensus invented this tune. no one knew it in the 90s. it didnt exist in the 90s.

people smoked too much skunk in the 90s. even jungle didn't exist in the 90s. it just existed as an anomaly in consciousness. it was only the great authoritarian sober reset of the 2010s which truly invented jungle.

@dilbert1 I don't like everything he's done, some of it can be too self-parodic rave music for my liking. that recent one he did called xt? pretty bad, complete with the rolls and twanging sounds, 96 era jump up style. will mash up the rave for sure, but that's why you need to take a break.

I like the swandive one because it uses those twanging sounds and rolls but in such a way it kind of reminds me of the ice cold sounds in grime instrumentals.

are those melodic clangy sounds like in swandive considered also considered drum melodies?
because i don't really know any drums that sound like that

I did an edit of swandive where in the process I also isolated a section of those melodic clangy sounds and also played them on the next track but pitched differently and also pitched up/down that section I isolated.
First two tracks:

another one from Sully I really like



The guy is indisputably a master of the craft when he wants to be. It's when he's less subtleI tend to take a different turn and not be so down.

Like Phineus II and unlike the Bryce (imo) he nails the uncanny valley time dilation effect. That for me is how the way new jungle can evolve, when you know it couldn't have been made (given the standard set up of akai s900) in 93-95, even if it does not sound inconceivable that such tracks could be made in top end studios in 93-95. The bueaty of even detroit techno is that it uses fairly budget equipment. The real top end stuff is in recording studios of Oasis or Celine Dion or whoever, and hence it is a complete and utter waste of technology.
