Raga Jungle is the best jungle i am from Toronto, and we didn't have the negative connotation, we had a massive Rave scene in Toronto.

You need to ask those that were there at the time. Whilst its true the Ragga influence of Jungle in '94 brought in bigger black crowds & along with that the gang violence that followed them, where previously it was largely seen as a white thing when Techno sounds was the main influence during the Hardcore rave era. However i don't believe it was a conscious effort by producers to remove the 'Ragga' black element in Jungle.. It was just a progression of the music as 2step Jump Up started to become more popular from 95/96 & that sampled heavily from Hip Hop & had gangster lyrics in it. Rather they changed the name from Jungle to DnB as part of a rebranding to make the music more commercial, remember 96 is when major labels like Virgin & Sony wanted to signed up some of the bigger names. So the motive was more about money than distancing the scene from a bad reputation caused by a minority of those who caused trouble. That is different to the darker Techstep style of DnB he is referencing, such as Virus & Bad Company, which became more popular with white students. But Jump Up came to dominate as Techstep became Neurofunk then disappeared whereas Jump Up carried thru as the popular style of DnB in the Y2Ks.

is the host cooked?

Hip hop/funk/soul/blues was US Reggae was Jamaica Calypso was Barbados Jungle was UK Drum and Bass was White kids not wanting to be identified as into Black Music . The the separation of the same thing began

You don’t call music jungle nor do you call it monkey. It is all about middle class guilt.

Nothing controversial here: the whitewashing of jungle = drum and bass

Americans make me laugh when the discuss British dance culture

This was an amazing night. So glad i just found 8 seconds of it ❤️❤️❤️

There was no concious effort to elimiate or change anything. The music just evolved sideways and forwards. Its just this simple really.

At the end of the day they’re all just sub genres of Jungle

Fuel for my morning workout 😎

From my perspective as a young boy in London it was the ‘troubles in the dance’ and the resultant image change necessitated a new name. Promoters needed the name more than those in the scene (everyone hates name changes until you get used to it) to get venues like the man says here. There is a retrospective sound difference but that’s probably more of an oversimplification based on the technology available over time.

Jungle came first and then drum n bass came out of it later !!! Jungle would be Leviticus burial ! Or dj ss lighter etc !!! Drum n bass first era would be Goldie terminator etc ! I have been into it since 94 and went to raves and dj and night vinyl ! Never heard about this meeting ????And went to loads of raves in 98 that had jungle and d n d and still had raga mcs !!!!

Scot should have gone to Boom

I just came across this today. Entertaining interview considering how much I loved and appreciated Energy 108 in the 90's before the corporate bullshit took over. THANKS SCOTT!

Still awesomesauce to this day ! 🫶😘🫡

That's amazing he went to sniper sound studio in the 90s from all dem time deh. nufffffffffffff sounds voice at big roy sniper studio. raspect.

I use to blaze cannons and smash tall cans with rumbleton behind de music library in boro lol. early 2k was an amazing time

How has someone not made a meme with that cryin' dude yet?

Areyousureyouaretalklingaboutjunglenotukgarage?

This man was at every rave in Toronto. I was usually in the jungle room but I would make a pass thru the house room when he was spinning that crazy shit!! Rexdale big up forza

Imagine them telling us how we lived 🤣😂🤣😂

It's all Jungle. Don't hit me.

Only white kids raved and listenes to jungle in the 90s. Fuck outta here. Black people didnt even acknowledge underground hiphop and dismmissed as backpacker rap. White kids supported all that shit and now they want to cry racism?

I love the jazzy synthy ambient side of jungle. LTJ Bukem -Logical Progression.

Hi Robb G(Gilbert), just Ali Cat, you forgot about DJ DAN, but yeah I remember your Show, "Da FUNK", and yes you're alot better than Daft Punk ofcource, thanks, and Barrie IS cool nowadays, Sunrise Records is cool......!$

i love this interview with adam k but wow you guys did not hold the microphones at a consistent distance the whole interview lol

jasjajsja ese wey esta bien drogado

Finally got around listening to this today. Been on my list for a few years. Now I want to see Dominik play again.

So historically Drum and Bass is a whitewash of Jungle, out of neccesity.

King of the rollers and SPY aren't jungle...

Basically they turned it white

Do you like jungle or drum and bass?

Jungle is basically earlier roots of drum and bass there's differences because jungle has ragga influences and slightly different to drum and bass however jungle is a subgenre of drum and bass........ More or less the same thing sort of.

Markus I love you! Please don't stop producing and get a Mother----ing podcast with interviews. I would watch! 🎵🎶🎼🔈🔉🔊🎤

Now what seperates jungle, ragga jungle, breakbeat hardcore and breakbeat?

Two foreigners trying to understand all this is ludicrous 😂. Drum n Bass is written on newer hardware. It’s as simple as that.

who_shot_jelo!?! *onlythegreatsknow*

one of the differences for me is the lack of kick drum in jungle

All types of DnB are simply severely watered down versions of Jungle. Boring and monotonous. End of... 👎

Honestly I think you've described it how it was. I've heard albums which were called Drum & Bass selection and the same tunes are called Jungle in other albums. DnB and Jungle are the same to me. What I don't like now days there's raves called DnB Vs Jungle and that splits the scene now. Because people love this new style Jump up sound, with weird bass lines they listen to old skool DnB/Jungle and think it's a totally different style all together.

The jungle raves were violent. As were the drum and bass raves up to the early 2000s. Stratford rex was a war zone. No one really cares though. Drum and bass is different to jungle. It started as break beat. It's faster. It came from jungle, but its different. And a world away from what it is now. Safer, but those who were there in the late 90s had the time of their lives. It was the fucking bollocks.

So many people just call all drum & bass jungle... Shy FX is jungle which has ragga influences and MCing, LTJ Bukem is atmospheric drum & bass with spacial soulful sounds... Why can't people distinguish the difference?! 🤔🤷‍♂️

If we're going to be talking about artists that lost their relevancy this is one of them you can't even find my bro if you search him up

wrong

VERY good video, thank you

The interviewer looks like he's struggling to hold in a turd

We asked this question in the early 90's when the music was in its infancy. Both the terms 'Jungle' and 'Drum and Bass' were in use simultaneously to describe the same music. The term drum and bass was used previously in the 70's to describe Dub versions of reggae songs. It also describes Jungle in the sense that the melody is often in the base track, while the drums provide the rhythm over the top (as with dub reggae which heavily influenced it). Approaching the mid 90's artists like Goldie pioneered a purer , more technical form of this music with tracks like 'Angel' that we recognised as different/ transitional and at the same time the old name Jungle gave way to the term Drum and Bass. We didn't know how lucky we were.

😂😂😂 is it.
