Jungle ramblings:

-Can't forget Facing Worlds in Unreal Tournament 1999! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i_0G6WPuss4

-Andy C will be in Los Angeles Nov. 28 (typically plays LA a few times per year)

-Worth checking out: Modern DJs who mix DnB/jungle with "footwork" (musical genre), e.g. Sharelle https://m.soundcloud.com/iamsherelle

-BBC Radio 1, Radio 6, and Rinse FM all have drum n bass shows and are available for free online and through Alexa etc.

-h2k2 had at least one wicked drum n bass set, I wonder if any of you were there :)

iirc helicopter tune was in midnight club 3. jungle makes for great racing music I didn't expect a jungle setlist while browsing HN — bless

> I didn't expect a jungle setlist while browsing HN I didn't ever expect to post one! :D

Having a few random mixes of yours I've (somehow) collected over the years amongst others, I didn't expect to click through a random Soundcloud link and see your name.

Thanks for all the great tunes!

One of the first things I asked ChatGPT when I got access: could you write a song in the style of a uk drum-n-bass MC about why a fictional brand of study bible, "The Rilla Bibla," is better than others?

Verse 1: Listen up, listen up, I got a story to tell About a brand new study bible that's straight outta hell It's called "The Rilla Bibla," and it's the real deal Got all the wisdom, all the knowledge, it's the bomb, it's for real

Chorus: The Rilla Bibla, it's the one and only Got all the beats and rhythm, it's the holy holy It's got the flow, it's got the style It's gonna elevate your understanding, mile by mile

etc. etc. Golden.

I'm interested in a lot of subculture music, and it really isn't there like it was for the most part. Most families of music seem to have stagnated or regressed. The early 90s gangster rap is definitely superior to mumble rap/emo rap, the 90s IDM/jungle/trance is superior to modern EDM/house/trap and the pop mainstream now is just garbage compared to the the mainstream from the late 80s/90s. Mixing and production are…

I don't agree. There are so many niche genres now that have never existed before, e.g. vaporwave, phonk, outrun, twee, etc. Gotta dig deeper. There is tons of fresh and original underground music being made still.

+1 for phonk, for easy access there are some great playlists on spotify, just search phonk

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…

I'm going to see Bukem on Saturday, really looking forward to it!

Ltj bukem? He’s played at the Tipper and friends festivals a few times - check out his two sets from TnF and his Glastonbury set if you haven’t yet!

Noclip has an amazing documentary about Wipeout 2097 music: https://youtu.be/-nwWpQJFGp8?si=f96-_G3bBqmGEP_c

Ah, I'm glad the demoscene gets a mention. One does not make music on a computer in the 90s without at least some, or possibly a whole truckload of, influence from the demoscene.

https://www.pouet.net/ for modern demoscene hub.

who remembers Ojuice.net?

Wicked! Wicked! Jungle is massive! https://youtu.be/O7TklQTeuSE

My favorite version of that song is General Levy's surprise guest appearance during a live Grime session[0]. The full 22 minutes are also worth a listen to, and this isn't even my type of music usually[1]. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8aa1N9Vcfc [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOIF7iUn-Z8

set was magical
