What Makes Something Jungle? | Resident Advisor

Музыка

Back in January, University Challenge presenter Amol Rajan became an unlikely hero when he said "I can't accept drum & bass. We need jungle, I'm afraid."
The teams had been asked to name the genre born from the '90s UK rave scene and reggae sound system culture. After the writer Nathan Filer uploaded the clip to X, the moment went viral and reignited an age-old debate: what exactly makes something jungle?
Our latest film explores the story of jungle, from its myriad roots to the present day; the sound's unique characteristics and stylings; how it infiltrated the mainstream with tracks like "Original Nuttah" by Shy FX and UK Apache; and how, alongside the genre's pioneers, artists like Nia Archives and Shy One are passing it down to the next generation.

    Its a great video, but it definitely should have mentioned something about Drum n' Bass. Especially because the clip starts with that gal mentioning DnB. They should have mentioned how DnB evolved from jungle. It didn't have to be in depth, and maybe they are making a documentary about DnB, but literally one or two sentences about DnB at the end would have made it perfect.

  • @kelvin000uk
    @kelvin000uk2 ай бұрын

    Really enjoyed the video but it didn't explain how it considers drum & bass differs from jungle and hence why the University Challenge question was deemed incorrect. I'm 57y and remember "jungle" being used for tracks by Shut Up & Dance and on the Tribal Bass label from 1990 onwards. But I'm sure we called Goldie's Timeless "drum & bass". Same for Guy Called Gerald, LTJ Bukum etc. It was a broader term that also took in the more electronic, less breakbeat, sound they were producing. Interesting to hear different perspectives though.

  • @noxiousdow

    True, I remember Goldie's Timeless being referred to both as jungle and drum and bass. I think it represents the fuzzy boundary between the 2 quite nicely, if you ignore the fact that drum and bass can be an umbrella catch-all term for both like you said. Listening back to Goldie now in modern times it seems to me to be more jungle than drum and bass just because of the speed, which I think is the main difference if indeed you want to try and disentangle them. Jungle was slower, and that allowed time and space for much more complicated rhythms than later dnb. And the complexity of those rhythms meant that you could listen to jungle in 2 ways: either as something fast and frenetic or slow and flowing, depending on what mood you were in and how you chose to interpret it at any given moment. That's what makes jungle more interesting than faster drum and bass for me, and it's the syncopation that makes me want to get up and dance.... or I would if I wasn't middle-aged and flabby.

    You can distinguish between them sometimes but there's huge overlap and they grew from the same scene. But even if you do distinguish them, I would say both A Guy Called Gerald and Goldie made tunes on both sides of that divide and they should have got the point.

    ​@@donach9 There's not really much of a divide in truth. The only divide is the more raggaish 94 sound with less break editing, when it began to switch in 95 it was more of a return to the 93 style. By 95 most people used d&b to refer to all tunes, even the 94 ragga ones, which you could begin to call a sort-of subgenre 'jungle'. Since d&b didn't exist in 93 to refer to the stuff like Bizzy B, Invisible Man, Goldie, it could never be used to refer to those older tunes. The new sound was more digital, more edited, more timestretching, a cleaner sound. Tech-step started to take over late95-early 96 and some people think that is what d&b was but it certainly wasn't in 95.

    It's funny how after rediscovering my passion for electronic music at the age of 15 I had finished basic DJ course, forgot about it for several years, went through creating a rock band as a drummer at 18, going through that with a passion only for breaks, and now with rediscovering all that jungle power again at the age of 20 I've just went back to my place and said "now I'm ready to go professional", meaning to do a jungle/breakcore mix for my final exam. Jungle is just something that you hold on to, if you have appreciated at least once in a proper way during your lifetime. It feels like it could stick to one's life forever. What a wonderful feeling

    One of the best vids on jungle I've seen! But... the influence of Belgian (and NYC) hardcore techno is critically overlooked. It was this that gave the vital 'vroooommm!' that carried raving from the euphoric house of the 80s into the frenetic experience of the 90s, and there's no doubting what a crucial element a well used hoover can be in sending the dancefloor into a frenzy. System X - Mindgames at 1:01 is a great example.

    Another documentary that gets it completely wrong, the predecessor of jungle was old school hardcore which dominated British nightlife for at least two years, hardcore was dominantly British but was a sound that producers the world over converged on in 1991 / 1992, it's influences were less about house and acid house and more about Belgian techno. It was never solely a second generation black scene, and neither were it's producers, it was a British working class musical movement. When jungle (previously called jungle techno) started to dominate the hardcore, it split primarily into jungle and happy hardcore, but other people headed towards techno which was taking off and house music though back then house and techno were much smaller scenes. Assuming that it was primarily a second generation black musical movement because the major influence is reggae is not accurate, there were plenty of white and asian producers across all the musical styles, there was never a black and white divide among fans of any of these genres, there was never a racial divide these were British working class musical movements. The generation we are talking about saw beyond race. Everyone partied together. Confusing all those genres at the beginning puts them all out of time.

    I agree. It came out of stuff like Omni Trio and the ragga was just a particular flavour of it. There was a whole happy hardcore scene ongoing at the same time and I was never into it tbh. Plenty of white jungle producers around and Asian too, otherwise how would people like Talvin Singh have become popular later in the decade? The scene was multicultural and the whole point of it was that it transcended boundaries of race and brought young people together under one roof. The world needs something like that now more than ever.

    The answer to that question is this. There were several incidents of people firing guns at raves between 94 and 95, and there were two relevant consequences to that: firstly, some smart promoters started telling nightclub owners, "oh no mate, my rave's not a jungle rave, it's a D&B rave" - because to do otherwise would have meant the end of a financial gravy train for those promoters. Secondly, at the same time, a group of producers thought, " I don't really like some of the directions this music is going in", so they got together and decided to consciously differentiate themselves from the parts of the scene which they didn't much care for anymore - which meant, among other things, choosing to classify their music under a different name, even though it was ultimately the same music. Fast forward 30 years later, and people think they ARE two different genres, when they are really two different styles of the same genre - in the same way that Miles Davis and Duke Ellington play different styles of jazz.

    I disagree, I felt that when it started being called drum n bass, the chopped up breakbeat aspect started to be replaced by more simple drum beats (basically a sped up rock beat) and the focus became less on samples and ragga/reggae samples and more on higher quality weird atmospheric noises and bass modulation synth stuff etc...
