Jungle- for balding men with ailing libidos
correction
"for balding men with ailing libidos" --> that's drumfunk.
i think the categories are the most "basic", so helpfull.
still though:
intelligent jungle - ltj bukem and the likes, although now they mostly release liquid funk style stuff (i like liquid but compare good looking now to good looking 12 years ago and i'm sure you will go to the second hand shop for the old stuff instead)
breakcore is basically a lot of noise and imo not to be categorised as a part of dnb, sure, shitmat, bong-ra, enduser, fff, istari lasterfahrer, lfo demon, etc.. get influenced by dnb but if you check for example zombieflesheater you'll hear samples from "dread bass", with jungle style drums at a fucked up speed but other tracks by him are more in the direction of pure noise.
or the meccaknifehandchop remix of knifehandchop "bounty killer killer", where the original had dnb influenced the remix is allmost pure hardcore, crazy hard gabber kicks".
yardcore/speedhall/raggacore/whatever usually is more influenced by dnb/jungle, as the vocals need a more structured underlayer.
check the bug (concidered to be raggacore by some, i'm not sure how people on this forum think about that), bong-ra (the clash records owner), shitmat, snares man (aka venetian snares with 2 raggacore classics on one 7"), amboss, istari lasterfahrer, lfo demon, fff, atiq & enk, dj scud, M*A*S*H records, rich kid (aka panacea), kid 606, etc...
for techstep: check bad company (2000 style), renegade hardware (used to be better than now aswell), ed rush, optical, ryme tyme, trace(considered to be the producer (remixer) of the first techstep track ever being mutant revisited from t-power), dom & roland, old technical itch, ...
hardstep: same era as the first jump-up, but more about heavy basslines, think of dj rap especially.
jungle:just search the forum, there are a couple of topics.
nowadays there's still jungle getting produced but as for reggae influenced stuff i prefer '93-'96 (and mostly '94)
