- Shut Up & Dance feature in this great UK documentary about the foundation of 'Jungle' Music. This is a great music history lesson for all those who are not fully aware.
Jungle is the sound I heard in my head as a child in the 70’s. When I heard it in the 90’s it was like taking that first hit! Been chasing the dragon ever since! I wanted to go to London so freaking bad in those days to be with my Jungle brethren, cuz this was not a sound the hood welcomed in, I felt like an outcast. State side Junglist for life!!! Amen(Break)
I bow to all of you who created the breakbeat hardcore and jungle. I am your descendant and I produce music born on the old school and the old ideals.
UK music is on a whole other level man. Much love from Detroit 🖤
Was on our level here in Toronto n Detroit too bruv, hope u didn’t miss it, wild time when these boys would come over.
Man I just got to the DJ SS -Lighta song and I get chills from hearing it the first time at some liquid adrenaline party in the late 90s.
Totally!...but you coming from Detroit that's also pure fire>>>
I have so much love for UK music.. and so much tears, too.
Greetings from Germany to all oldskool lovers! Keep the vibe alive!
Big up all the German Junglists!!
Big up all the German Junglists@@TakeMeBackPirateRadio
Yeh man for real! Respect@@masterploxis
Oddly enough modern radio and EDM doesn't sound futuristic at all but old Jungle still sounds ahead of the times
2025 And Forever …….. 🎶❤️🎤👊🏻👏🏻💪🏻🙏🏻
So proud to love Jungle till this day, born and raised in NYC, listening since the 90's. Big ups to London! NYC and London united in music always.
Big up Shut Up & Dance!! Key players in the game!! I must stress how important pirate radio was for us growing up. It was the heartbeat of the scene. Big up all the London pirate radio stations that supported the scene and gave a platform for young up and coming DJs to play their sound.
this history must be preserved, creativity 100%
Ahh dancing to Jungle is the nuts😂❤
After having listened to Jungle/DnB more or less exclusively since circa 1997 over here in the states, this documentary helped piece together the bits of the foundation I wasn't aware of at the time. Always had to appreciate the UK and europe in general for providing the soundtrack to my life thus far. Big up to all the massive still pushing both the old sounds and the sounds yet to come. Deal wit di mattah, deal wid it propah!
+aphexteknol I Listen dnb in 1995...
Refreshing $ exactly what I took/FELT from it. loved the humility haven't seen that across the pond I can't even remember last time I saw it. Especially tateside poli-tricks of the scene are redic., cruel & detrimental. Pisses me off bc inturn Just cause he's your boy & sucks instead of giving the slots to talented Dj's (remember that alone is an alone Dj'ing is a true artform ppl forget) Pardon sober cheese brain. I'm sick of hearing your shitty boy all the time in good slots torture my ears till I wanna go up and unplug the system mics etc. Also Producers that only play only their music equivalent that most of the time aknye only listens to his on.
aphexteknol Where you from?
How u get into it?
Don't forget you guys played a massive part in all this, without the Winstons drum and bass wouldn't be what it is today
This doc makes me so happy right now. This is so what I needed right now.
For someone who's more into the current hardcore and gabba, Hardstyle, hard house, etc, but whose appreciation for Jungle & DnB has grown significantly over the last couple years, videos like this are invaluable. I would always have my grandmother grab Hardcorec CD's when she wwould go to Britain (we're from Canada) and every now and then she would bring back a DnB mix series or some shit as well - and the boom of TH-cam in the 2010's really helped my exposure to the music - but I still never really got big into the history of the music. I know the basics and its initial evolution because of the splintering from HC and knowing that history like the back of my hand, but beyond that I'm still just learning.
i always had respect to electronic forms of music that came from uk it marks my youth and helps me to decide to be a music producer one big respect from serbia
Big up the Serbia crew!!!
Bless!!! Early 90’s great times. Amazing doc, ps: labrynth dalston lane ‘93 / ‘94-- unreal. kool fm / eruption fm / chilling fm!!!!! Too much to mention!!! Thanks for this and respect to all massive!!!! You know who you are!!!!! We lost some marbles along the way for better or for worse haha!!!
Respect forever! Always been so proud to be into this kind of music. Great video!
Big up!!
Love that old school uk hardcore sound....
Great doc, brought me back to my old raving days, seeing old faces.
That was great. Memories.
I’m a young Australian trying to keep all of this alive. I currently produce a lot a lot of a jungle and love to know about the history of where it started. I have such a passion for all of this. I’m also studying a lot of Chicago house and Detroit techno and where it all came from. This stuff is amazing to watch
broooo im tryna do this here in italy too
but now we have to make a lil bit of change cause by now all is on internet so we gotta invent something
The pirate radio scene is were it was all at. If you are interested you should check some of the old tape recordings from London's pirate radio scene. Epic sounds!!
ZepOne ) DJ JUAN ATKINS / DETROIT TECHNO ------- LIL LUIS VEGA / CHICAGO HOUSE ------- UK JUNGLE / STILL IN PROGRESS
Read 'All crews' for a comprehensive and deep delve into jungle / drum n bass' history.
RIP Skibadee, Hyper D, rep for life since 1997 in Colorado USA !
Been mad into Jungle since my first trip to London in ‘95, buying choons in Black Market Records and the whole lot..those were exciting days back then! Big up the Junglist Massive!!
2020 Chi-Town USA Junglist til I die! Roll the Beats!!
Since 92 Big Up Junglist Kru!!
you remember the "strictly Jungle show" on WNUR?
Big up!!
@@br79 Hellz ya! I do :)
"Next thing you know everyone wanted to be a Junglist."
True that!!!
Junglist MASSIVE!!!
Thanx wicked documentary
jungle sound is incredible 🔥🔥✌
genuine love for the UK and al the music outta there, i'm not even sure what my first jungle experience was but i know i'm absolutely in love with the sound now and want to do what i can to keep the culture and spirit alive... so strange how the style has hardly changed since the 90s shit is still futuristic and relevant today and so much room for innovation and individuality
Nice to see Joy Orbison’s uncle Ray Keith appear in this one!
All massive!!
I feel old right now.
HAHA me too and Im probs younger but got into it bc y dad was a hardhouse head. He didnt like the foulness of some of my hip hop, I didnt do amended music told my parents in 2nd grade it took away from the artistry, Also been bgirling since I was 5 & an audiophile int everthing so he got me into dnb @9 started going to raves @13 now I'm almost 32. I miss the days of the tape packs oh the excitement~!
You lived it and experienced it. Did you see how old the Ragga Twins are and their energy is still like it was 20 years back.
the documentary totally missed out the asian side of drum&bass and jungle. which broke into the scene in the UK circa 1997_8 post Goldie and the Bristol scene. With Punjabi, Bangladeshi and Pakistani artists borne or living in the UK Jungle has had a huge influence. Further, now post 2010, a lot of Jungle & Drum&Bass is popular and essential in the making of artists like VIVEK and Nasha Records.
There was an Asian scene 😳? You know any playlists or mixes out there?
@@Theredeyedjedi bump. Would love to hear this
bump, tryna find out
music is transformative for people, especially the youth of the world! really spoke to me how many of these artists specifically mentioned the diverse, integrated demographics of the audience and having created one people
another interesting nuance I wasn't familiar with was that specifically many of the artists mentioned dnb being a sanitized/whitewashed version of jungle. fewer reggae samples, less explicitly black. never noticed that but it does track. Dnb isn't crazy white by any means, but I do hear fewer reggae and carib samples. Then liquid dnb came and jazzed it back up haha
Fucking rad. So much incredible culture. Greetings from Chicago.
those jackets are so cool
Major respect
BEST IVE SEEN SO FAR..
best times of my life, it was a great period for the UK in terms of music and it thrived in the underground, I particularly enjoyed it up to about 1996ish...I wasn't a follower of Drum N Bass as much because of what they described here, it became 'commercially popular' and lost its edge and ideals
They were epic movements engraved in our hearts and minds. The scene shaped our life growing up for the better regardless of all the negativity you hear. It was and still is a powerful movement. DJ Hype was a local boy to our area and we all loved him and supported him. Big up the Haberdasher Estate crew!!
If it was not for pirate radio, the scene would have been dead. Only in the UK.
OMG this looks amazing... cued for later. Raver all through the 90's, early 90's German Trance into jungle, D&B... hardcore undergroujnd london clubs like Labrynth, AWOL, Metalheadz... grateful for the chaps making these beats.
Why did Jungle/drum and bass change so radically around 96/97? It's as though everyone got together and decided we're not making that 'sound' anymore. Circa 94 is the best period- period.
+modvs1 Got it. That's a shame.
+modvs1 totally agree. I quit following this music around 2000 when everyone went dark. Best in the mid 90's.
+modvs1 One day itll come back. I was a damn toddler when this music came out, but if more people of a newer generation heard this, im sure theyd be inspired to make their own new shit that stayed true.
Drug changes, and a desire to move away from the approaching mainstream. A re-classification in the press based on the usual race element. Dj's spending too long in clubs and pushing faster and harder to continue shocking crowds. Same stories on repeat....
That's a lot of electronic genres though .. Look at Hardcore in 1991 and then 1993 .. And then '96, and '99, and 0'1 and '04 .. Everyone of those time periods sounds like almost an entirely different genre. Sometimes when artists hear a sound they all like they just naturally gravitate towards making that sound.
Electronic music seems to evolve a bit quicker than instrument based artists do, so you'll see reslly drastic shifts in style when someone does something that really stands out that people try to emulate
RIP SKIBBA!!!
In the late 80s and 90s every subculture was a movement: metal, punk, hiphop, rave, drum n bass,... Today there is no subculture - ergo ...
There are still underground scenes for all of those genres. Just look at high focus making underground UK hiphop, just got to do some digging
There is vaporwave too
Music is a big representation of societys state of mind. I think humanity peaked in the 90s.
RIP Skibba

Thanks!

DJ Hype & MC GQ - Roll The Beats (Inject The Bass Mix) Suburban Base Records, 1994
So who was it that decided to change it to DnB ?? Goldie sounds like a puppet tbh..hanging about with Robbie Williams n Oasis...
I'm american and jungle is far superior to hip hop
I wouldn't say either or is superior, they're both dope!
