DNB and Jungle

Intro of Ali G





Full song. Listened to it so many times when it went out 😅

Your lucky to have memory 😉. I saw them maybe five times but only remember couple of them.😅. Too much of good stuff all around 🤫

ATR is probably more the music that matches teenage angst, can't imagine I would not be able to listen to a full album today, or go to a concert. 

I was always the one up up by the speakers at Tangerine Dream concerts, think why I'm almost deaf in one ear now.... bass vibrating your ribcage is an amazing experience, 

The most bass I ever experienced was at a Kraftwerk concert at the 9:30 club in DC. At one point my vision got blurry and I realized it was because the bass was vibrating my eyeballs in my skull. It was sick. Otherwise the most bass I ever felt was in the basement room of Tresor in Berlin. So yeah, Germans lol. I don’t really go out now and I do have some hearing damage from an infection as a kid and a loud sound close to my ears some years later (not at a party). My hearing is pretty decent but yeah definitely protect your ears.

Btw I read a story about the metalheadz guys at Berghain and at one point one of the bass bins caught fire because the metal inside had melted from all the bass. Now that’s some fuckin bass, this time by way of collab between the English and the Germans :-)

That was pretty cool. Do I hear some influences for 101 early releases in this


also just reminded me of Wavrunnr's (not sure of his forum ID) recent jungle releases
Hope it is ok to post these on here on behalf of his, they are pretty cool too.

Hah, probably maydonpoliris! It was always my intention to be able to create 2 clocks on my rig. One for fast percussive breaks and another for slow meandering melodies. That's probably a bit formularised, but I don't care really. It's such good fun 

That's the important thing! 

Quite like jungle, especially when they go loose on the cut-up breaks (like some of the crazier Aphex records). Never got into popular D&B, especially the drum sounds feel so 'over the top' and intense to me (the snare specifically), didn't get into Chase & Status, Netsky,.. The big ones. For me its a bit like with dubstep: i like the oldschool 'deep' approach from UK greats like Mala, I very much dislike the 'AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE flavor' (often called brostep  ) from the likes of Skrillex.

This track has been a top 5 fav electronic track for the last years, probably everybody heard it by now, some might even got tired of it, but for me its timeless.. Still gives me real physical shivers down my spine in the right setting.




Their live-set at printworks is also an incredible must-watch on youtube. Lots of synthesizer goodness.

Favorite 'acid jungle' track:

And then there have been some superpopular break-infused tracks at techno parties, like this one: 




Like thats a jaw-dropper in my opinion, first time you hear it blast out of a huge soundsystem. How it goes from breaks into stomping territory, the great stabs and vocal on top, yum. It was this track that people around you, who didn't know it yet, instantly turn around and go like 'WOW?! YOU KNOW THIS TRACK???'. By the end of the year, everybody knew   

Few more of my recent favs:

Moodrich - The Dome : good vibes, not too heavy, nice breaks. My feel good anthem when biking.
Anz - Last before the lights: Great mix of vibey techno and modern jungle. Including a classic vocal, some deeeeeep rumbling bass sounds, some sparce parts. Heavy at some points, light at some other. A real trip in 6 min.
Partiboi 69 - no place like home : So vibey, hilarious clip as well. Probably gets closest to modern, more 'deep' drum n bass
