Related to this is the Buck Bumble[1] theme song[2]: > “That’s the whole point of it, we didn’t want to do sort of boring techno stuff as well, or jungle, so we picked speed garage, it’s funkier than house and garage.”[3] [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_Bumble [2]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8FQ-N0zb2U ) [3]: https://archive.org/details/64-magazine-15/page/n39/mode/1up

If anyone's interested and wants to hear more, I have a mix of 92/93 era Jungle [1] Some rough mixes here and there (especially the first one) because it was live from a NYE event. But it suits the style of music, that era was so raw and fresh, the future was being invented right there! Very happy days :) 1) DJ SS - Intro 2) Higher Sense - Cold Fresh Air 3) Deep Blue - The Helicopter Tune 4) Roni Size - Time Stretch…

OP, the link you provided keeps redirecting me to the Google Play store to install the SoundCloud app, no matter what browser I use to open it. Could you please create a link which stays on the SoundCloud website? Not everyone wants to use apps on mobile just because some service wants to force you to use them.

I can't edit it, so here's a direct site link:

> that era was so raw and fresh, the future was being invented right there! Very happy days I've been told by several Gen-Z that they've never been to a "rave", and I feel sorry for them. In my town, we had quite the underground scene, but then times changed and it is so much smaller now. Now, "kids" just call it all EDM instead of the specific genre that we know and love.

Gentrification and moral panic killed warehouse parties and raves.

In general please don't use Soundcloud to share music. It's complete shit. It doesn't even allow seeking unless you register for an account. At least Youtube is borderline usable without signing in.

the local police here formed a Rave Task Force. it became very effective, and pretty much killed the scene. it got to the point where the cops would show up as the guys were unloading the PA from the truck. lots of cat and mouse games followed on trying to get past the cops. promoters even started lining up alternate locations to relocate if something got shut down. then the cops started threatening to use crack house laws to arrest the promoters for providing a place for drugs to be used. we don't have clubs to speak of and mainly just bars. we tried doing events at bars, but having to shut down at 2am is just a joke.
