Made In Britain: Jungle

- How is it that Britain, one little island in the middle of nowhere, has been such a game changer when it comes to creating original music genres that give birth to entire new underground cultures which then go on to have such a huge impact on the world?
London - the crowning example of the uniquely British inner city mash up of race, class and culture - has been the crucible for a series of original and unique music genres and pop culture lifestyles that have set the world alight. The recipe has been further enriched by contributions from other key urban centres - cities like Bristol and Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds. Inspired by the bass heavy rhythms of Jamaican sound systems, fused with the culture, fashion, slang and attitude of the Caribbean, West Africa, Asia and America, fueled by a never-ending soundtrack of pirate radio, and led by successive generations of entrepreneurs, hustlers and maverick visionaries, the whole world has moved to the beats of underground music and club culture made right here, in Britain.
This is the story of Jungle, UKG and Grime - three massive underground music scene that were all ‘Made in Britain.’ These more recent genres exploded from the streets, pirate radio stations and council estates of London and the UK’s inner cities over a period of just a few years in the 1990s. All three gave birth to their own unique sounds, creating a generation of stars, fashions, club scenes and fortunes and all three never quite vanished. Their beats, flows and attitude can still be heard in tunes being made today.
Each episode gives the inside track one of the genres, as told by some of the leading figures who created these underground movements in the first place, in conversation with Ron Samuels, himself a leading light of the original 90s Jungle scene as DJ Ron, and now a documentary director.
This video contains flashing images.
I'm sure I speak on behalf of all the other 40-plus-year-olds such as myself, who have also been there since day one, who grew up on jungle in London in the 90s, when I say it's a real shame this was only five minutes long.
This shit was our bread and butter. 👌🏽

For real!!
Jungle music made garage and the rest is history, jungle is uk thru and thru
alot of other genres wouldnt have cropped up without the foundations of jungle.. kids havent a clue these days
I'm in my 50s and every now and then I go and shake a leg. There's a couple of events I go to in London, the new generation love jungle especially of the tune has amen break they go nuts.
Laserdrome OG in da house!

I can't accept drum 'n' bass. We need jungle, I'm afraid.
JJJJJJUUUUUUUNNNNNGGGGGGLLLLLEEEEE A W O L for those who know!
So what happened in 1995 then, there was a conscious movement to eradicate any form 'Ragga' lyrics from the records being released, tell me I am lying?
There are plenty of documentarys and interviews on here where DJs talk about why that happened.
I was a serious Junglist for 15 years. It was my life and all i thought about.
I worked my ass off all week so i could afford to travel up and down the country hitting the biggest Jungle raves on the weekend. It was like a pilgrimage to Mecca!
Glorious times!
Stood right in front of Rap set in early 90s, she hasn't aged a day. Like seriously.
She is 53!
Remember rap dropping super sharp shooter at dreamscape....blew our minds. Think it got 2 rewinds
😄
Definitely agree ! Saw her dj back in 94 and watched her dj Ron interview a wile back and thought the same ting
akai s-series samplers should have got a mention!
the 'low cost' samplers.
You need to make 10 part series on Jungle music and the Junglist movement. This like a trailer for one episode!!
MISS THESE DAY SO MUCH - Big up all the original jungle ravers!
I was born in '97. My first experiences with Jungle were mainly from Video Game soundtracks and the occasional break beat in music here and there. Have been proper in love with the genre for 3 years now and even produced a few tracks myself. Absolutely beautiful feeling of community and creation. Not stuck up, excluding but simple effective tracks and big vibes. Massive!
UH Fascinating
Guys that don’t get the credit but really broke jungle were top buzz and Ibiza recs. You hardly ever hear them mentioned but they referenced jungle techno in 1991. RIP Jason kaye.
you're right they definitely came up with the name jungle techno I think the music Jason played was different to jungle in this video
@@afristar685 Agree with both these comments. IMO people class jungle as the more jump up ragga stuff, Top Buzz always played it a bit more dark, Jason played it a bit more obscure and in all my years ive never heard Patrick ask for a rewind!! Just my opinion of course.
Just Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Jungle will never die. It really won't - it's been the most successful genre at modifying the core concept of "music" as "beauty in harmonious form" to include "beauty in chaotic form". It was an emergent form of composition that offered a glimpse into a world where syncopation and a seemingly chaotic arrangement of notes and rhythms could create such unity.
Respect to all these guys for taking the time to come to Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 I've had the pleasure to see all of ya'll at raves in Toronto in the 90s RESPECT 🙏
Big up all the Junglist massive ❤️
I started raving in 92 and still going now whenever I can. May be one of the oldies on the dancefloor now but IDGAF. 😂
Junglist 4 Life! 🦁🌴🔊🎶
I was at the orchestral reworking of Goldie's Timeless a few years ago at the Royal Festival Hall. Goldie was there. So much love in the room for that man and the music, everyone was up out of their seats and raving. If you know, you know. Jungle/ Drum & Bass will still be breaking new ground decades from now.
I’m 35 and the reasons why the UK scene that inspired so many is now seen as not as diverse as then, is because those in Europe, especially Eastern Bloc countries that wanna be part of the music don’t like Black / Brown, or Trans, Gay people; because we know why. Berlin, Sweden, Amsterdam yeah but there’s still a majority over there that aren’t of African descent that had or grew up with the mix like we had here.
We had our struggles to get this played, still do, and this just shows how solid the UK sound is. Big up UK underground collective! Everytime
I get the racism part but drop the weirdo confused pagan transformer crap no scene needs them weirdos. No one should promote that abomination 💩
Just too sad that they focus on general levy at all. Total freud and he said he created jungle. He created shit. Not even behind "that" song.
It's funny how something can become something that maybe it wasn't. Has anyone ever heard/seen the clip of when he allegedly said this? Cuz he was maintained many times that's is not what he said.
@@TheLongdarktunnel It's funny how.....Yes. I saw a clip MANY years ago. What you believe is a different matter.
@@MemoryLaneCinema fair enough! Maybe one day it will find its way here.
I feel so old when I tell kids, this choon is older than you!
Cool FM played such a big part. Massive respect.
Kool with a K
Not forgetting the Weekend Rush and Pulse FM

ngl i make Jungle but i also do Dubstep, sometimes i mix Drumstep with Jungle and Dub reggae stuff
Jungle music was big a thing for me growing up... Walking to Preston College in the early 90s, listening to the classics on my Walkman ❤❤
Fantastic content BBC! I am a new Jungle fan so it's great learning about the history. Man, what a time to be alive back then
How old are you and believe me when I say this ...jungle is not just music it's unique ...the everything about that era 22 to this era is so different ...take it this way it's a shame it's gone ....well it hasent but in a way I you know what I mean ...but I mean full on jungle that era the music touched you in a different way
@@raggadan4742 it's a beautiful movement. We had music that was unique to us almost tailor made.
Believe me you have a huge back catalogue of amazing tunes to discover! Enjoy :)
I am a new Jungle Fan - then stay away from BBC and all the poison it represents. Its not your friend
They only want control.
Them and the establishment tried to snuff out this music and culture for decades
Jungle will never die
Love seeing Mickey Finn in his beautifully manicured garden
Need to do one on breakbeat hardcore / rave
Americans are just realising jungle
Pretty broad statement right there
@@waves5114 init
Yeah. Like MANY Other Things.
lol
There's been crazy jungle producers out of the US n Canada since the 90s obviously it'll never be as proliferated/ culturally relevant as it in the uk but rather than dissing it we should be proud that jungle has become a global movement
Poor assumption. From America. Listening since 90
There needs to be longer documentary on this with more Djs and Mc s to give a more complete history
WE KEEPING THIS ALIVE !!!!!!
You are the best. From Ukraine Donbass Artemovsk
Hope you are doing well and that Jungle helps you going through those hard times..
big ups from London
It's true what Mc GQ said jungle will never die
2:30 what's this track, I can't catch the name
Track ID 2:14 mins anyone
Adult drum & bass is the future...HEADZ
I wish that some Black British women were involved in the mini doc, its our genre too
DJ Rap is in it.
Best Days EVER
Do you have the list of the songs used in this video?
Goldie Terminator 1st jungle tracks

What tune is 1:52 ???
Born in 11’ we are some of the only children who spread these tunes. in my eyes jungle will never die!!! 👊👊👊
If one listen to old NWA-songs they had that jungle "beat" in the 80's ;)
@BBC RADIO 1Xtra can the tracklist be shared for all the music used in this documentary please?
Jungle 4ever
ONLY ORIGINATE BLESSED TIMES BACK THEN SHOWING THE WORLD NEVER TO OR CAN BE REPEATED .........
DAM MISS THOSE DAYS .
Pull back the WHOLE mix and do it again !
Headz need to switch on - its not the tune its the blend
Funny to think a genre once rejected by bbc and made to play pirate radio stations is now being reported by the bbc
Please someone tell me what is the tune at the very end ... The beat with the funky bass Line... I used to play it all the time ...
I think the last song was "Original Nutter' by UK Apache and Shy FX.
Warhead by DJ Krust on V records
@@calumhyder339 Thank you ...that is the one ... Excellent turn and a great one to mix with ....
Chase and Status Boiler Room set brought me here ❤ 4:08

Best music genre EVER made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🎉😊
Rap is a good looking older woman 😍
Remember getting jungle mania 2
💛💛💛
0:08 The Don .
Yes ❤
Tracklist ?
Too short!
Is it any coincidence that the rave scene died and wasnt the same when it went from hardcore to jungle.
Atmosphere got moody and dark, people getting robbed etc.
A black man once explained to me why the rave scene died, he said to me “ the rave scene died because there were too many *iggas under one roof, it was always going to kick off “
How much truth is in that i dont know, but it cant be denied that the peace, love and harmony was long gone when the jungle scene started.
what's the song from 1:50?
Phuture assassins 2 bad mice remix
Jumping Jack was not the king , bigs himself up too much
I’ll never forget 4am being in trade @turnmills hearing we are ie for the first time the place went bonkers 🥰
4:51.. this same island has changed the world with what's its created musically... really? Ok geeza, if you say so..
