wicked thread

I was talking to Teh Invisible Man in the pub recently, and he told me that he's got a 'proper' version of this track at home:
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0gONNS_XBAc?fs ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0gONNS_XBAc?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
Says that when he sent a version to Bukem to listen to, there was a wire loose that resulted in only half of the drum track being recorded, and Bukem went ahead and pressed what he was sent without really checking it out. I was telling him there could be a market for a re-mastered version of this as it should have sounded.

So...I've always loved Jungle, ever since I were wee nipper....but, being too young at the time I never experienced it in a rave culture...

Jungle has always just been...you know...Jungle...but, just now, it hit me how incredible it must have been when it was first coming through. I mean....that is some suuuuuuuuuuuuurious swinging and skipping! ha.

Bad-Bad-Badbwoooyyyyyy

For real!

If I would have been at some of those massive raves back in the early 90's when jungle music hadn't really been heard before, I would have went absolutely bat-shit INSANE (drugs or no drugs)!!

I don't want to seem like a shill but I def think the mixes pearsall posted earlier are a great place to start. I got into jungle strictly through the club scene in the early / mid 90's and so when I wanted to get some stuff to listen to searches led me to his blog that have some excellent mixes and will give you a decent starting place to explore the labels / artists you like.

Killer tunes all those... but... this reminded me, and maybe some here can help... I think THIS tune was the first hardcore record ever to have the break cut up on the off-beat, so it rolled, rather than being a straight-ahead breakbeat loop. Nobody's yet persuaded me that there was an earlier one...




What does anyone else reckon? Because as I see it, this more than any other track was the beginning of jungle's break-editing...


(of course the cut-up was actually done on the Meat Beat Manifesto beat that this samples, but this was the first to apply it in the hardcore context)

on discogs it says thats a 1991 release, there are 4hero tunes and Im sure others from 1990 with break chopping in them.





Im pretty sure theyre actually chopping those breaks too as opposed to sampling chopped breaks. These are also form 1990 I think



mental cube aka future sound of london, obviously never a duo to be preceeded with some 1990 business...



fsol, again 1990, almost going on for a jungle tempo on this one



thing is you never know who did it first, release dates are no real indication of when it was actually created. People had been doing it in hip hop already so I think it was sort of there from the start really, it just took over after a few years and everyone was at it.

Cant tell you how many times i remember hearing this on old helter skelter tapes:



Some great material i have never heard in here, genius thread.

Get hold of Dj Hype - Jungle Massive its a sick cd

though it is a good cd i dont know if its strictly jungle, more DNB imo.

definitely try and get your hands on jungle mania 3! absolutely ridiculous album, so full of bangers (quite a few have popped up here).



obviously none of these ^^^ are on jungle mania 3 but they're some of my favourites.
