Such a classic documentary ! Thanks for uploading!! We've added this to our "Book Of Jungle" playlist for anyone interested. Big up from the Box Fulla Records Family.
Walking round london in 1992, same old same old, but walking round london in 1993, jungle everywhere, bill posters plastered all over the place, jungle on pirate radio, blasting from passing cars, Blackmarket records in soho, fuck those days were amazing!
I will always be an every day junglist. My prom dress was camo & I had headphones on listening to jungle. 22 years later jungle still has my ❤and my waist winding 💃🏾
I went to Lenny de ices house back in the day and be taught me how to produce music when I was a youth. All original raving peoppe know about his legendary tune. we are i.e.
His “new” track Original Nuttah? Wow. What a point in history to have been recorded! If they only knew the IMPACT that song would have on the scene over time!
Ive been looking for this doc for yrs. Remember seeing it on BB2 late 94´. I was bang into Jungle at the time, still love it, especially the old vibe. Good to see Shy FX, his stuff was cutting edge. Knew one of his dancers in the documentary, Harriott, top lady. Great times.
In an alternate universe, Chumlee meets Dj Rap at Lucky Spin. Love this documentary. so much good footage from the studios, the shops and the general vibe at the time
I'm 39 and used to stay up to watch a programme which I think was on channel 3 called 'BPM' anyone else remember this cus everyone I've asked ain't got a clue. It was just live footage at raves around 91,92ish.i was only around 9 or 10 at the time but used to stay up to catch that bad boy!!!
Jungle you sit with me at night when i cant sleep... you relieve my stress...you change my worl every time i hear... you grew me up... you educated me... Jungle i friggin love the crazy rags lot of ya.....
This documentary portrays Jungle as if it came out of no where. Jungle evolved off of Hardcore music!! Hardcore was the foundation to Jungle because it had the drum and bass but no Jamaican influence, M beat were the original hardcore label to play Ragga and Reggae samples with Hardcore, and back in them days it was all the pony tailed english kids that were into it. As the Ragga and reggae influence became more and more prominent then the Jamican influence got bigger and it became Hardcore Junglist and then later on Jungle. The original Hardcore raves were Labrynth, Elevation and Fantazia. Jungle was a musical merger of young british races same as Ska was before it. Long live the tunes and I feel blessed to have witnessed it and grown up with it and raved to it when it was fresh.
That's not 100% correct.. Look at acts like 4 Hero [and other tunes from that time on Reinforced] black people making 'hardcore' that wasn't about ragga/reggae samples. It sort of went 'hardcore techno' [eg Human Resource - Dominator, Zero B - Lock Up] before I reckon one of the first true Jungle tunes to employ a reggae bass line Lennie De Ice - We Are IE, breakbeats, but not really ragga sounding. Then it went OTT ragga [take yer pick!] and then D&B that left the ragga/black stuff out and was being produced by oiks from Essex in souped up Escorts. Weren't Amnesia House original hardcore nights/DJ's? It's so long ago now, I'm struggling to remember the finer details, but I think I'm correct about it not being solely white people making 'hardcore' at the very start of it all.
***** Pal, Im not suggesting that black people weren't involved in Hardcore, and Im not saying that Jungle is when black people got involved in Hardcore but more that Jungle was a merger of Hardcore and Jamaican reggae and Ragga. And at the time it brought the youth together as I can remember when most my black friends were into Ragga, but then M-beat came along and they were then raving to what it was called back then as Jungle Hardcore. The tune you have chosen as an example of firstly black influenced hardcore tunes is proof of Jungles roots being from the hardcore community. At the end of the day its the merger of two types of sounds coming together and creating a much loved and raved to movement as what we had and still have today, regardless of race. My point was that the film could have portrayed the movement as more of a multi racial sound as that is what it is and always has been. Its all about UNITY from all communities.
That's exactly how it was .. Your %right mate ... I was at them back then and remember how it all came about well .... The rocket , laser drome , fantazia at donnington castle ....
Thats exactly what Im talking about mate, Hardcore evolved at them raves you mention off of Acid house cause back in them days the main room was Acid and the other room started playing Hardcore as it got a bigger following, then Hardcore split and You had Happy Hardcore and Jungle Hardcore which then went on to become Jungle and is now known as Drum and Base. I can remember the days before Rave tapes were even being made and if someone had a tape recording of a Rave it would get rinsed, Scottie - sub nation, and Noise factory - The future were the pioneering Hardcore tunes that gave birth to the whole scene.
Wow. Nostalgia..90s scene was proper tings. Glad I got to experience it. Those old enough knows the vybz... with that said, I've got my headphones on couple rolled enjoying your video.. big up yourself.💥💥💯👊🏿😤💨💨
I remember watching this in college at 17 my lecturer put it on for the class. I think i was the only one there apart from maybe one lad who really appreciated it. I was just moving from mainstream DnB that was popular at that time, and discovering jungle. I love the sound til this day. I am 30 years old.
Great doc. Herein . New york we used to pick up a lot of stuff but more from Bristol really. Obviously all the Roni size Krust stuff but before that you had the early techno jungle with Easy Grove and all the way out west stuff.
I lived in Bristol and put a couple of Drum and Bass nights on at Easton Community Centre in 1997. I know it sounds like a lame venue but it was definitely not. Roni Size cut his teeth there, as did the rest of Reprezent. Even the late night dance TV show BPM was there one night. The only time I have been on national television show. It was only three half-second cuts to me dancing with my jaw jutting and gurning and my eyes wider than the Blackwall tunnel, but that was my fifteen minutes! We had a few names for our nights. Flynn & Flora were the biggest. They were huge in the Bristol scene and they were awesome. Better than Goldie, Bukem, and Size. We didn't make any money and the nights were not exactly rammed, but it was a great time, and great to be able to tell you all about it rather than start this comment off saying: 'Me and my brother were going to do a drum and bass night once "
There was a bar, in Stokey, just at the top, just by the "Citi Centa Broth...Sauna" and we went in there (admittedly just to bosh some Molly) and it stank of puke. Like really overpowering, and I even saw a bucket and mop behind the counter. I could not believe it and this was a restaurant too. People were eating pizza in this place that reeked of puke. I know it was never exactly Las Vegas in that area but it has really gone to shit
I was there at the Amazon on a Friday night in Wolverhampton and was scanking to shy and UK apache. Tune was wheeled back 3 times! Later I spoke to apache on the dance floor, cool down to earth guy.
what about an Amiga ? which is what I used from 93 onwards... just for my home spun house/techno tunes with samples taken from my record collection as a DJ at the time...
I miss going to tge record shops and spending hour upon hour hunting down them tunes!! Pure groove archway, black market records, lucky spin, music power ❤
The very birth of the rave scene 1989, and it's 3 main years until 1993, created a complete, multicultural, scene for people of all skin colours to come together. PLUR was all that mattered. It's quite sad to see that is now a thing of the past, and division seems to be back.
@@tenebrissubterra4596 Yes, that is correct, but I wasn't talking about acid house my friend, I said 'the rave scene', and specifically the rave scene in my country (England). Acid House didn't really appear until 1987 in the USA.
@@DjNikGnashers Dude, I'm from the U.K acid house was a big thing round my parts and my dad was telling me how he had his first trip to Acid Man by Jolly Roger.
@@sebby-d6124 Not where I'm from it wasn't. 1988 was all about acid house parties, and I went to dozens of them great times. In early 1989 it was all about Hop-House, then in mid 1989 the early rave tunes started to appear. So, you think it started in 1988 do you, well give me an example of a 1988 rave tune then...........
?? Don't blame it on ragga ? I think it was the drugs you could smell more crack in the seen late 90s 2000s crack became cool and skunk came into play where you could hardly get any Jamaican import weed .skunk took over crack as well drugs change scenes.Like in the 80s ravers ecstasy love drug and generation ect
Big up all independent labels to this day. This vid brings bk my childhood memories. How times have changed the world is too mad now. Not as much freedom.
Them few weeks of transition into jungle was quality club desire,the rocket,laser drome seeing it all unfold in front of your eyes was something I will never forget💙 ecstasy paved the way for this the clubs were already packed week in week out so the music took a natural progression
Wasn't just a black thing. I amSpanish but I was on Weekend Rush in 93 and the genre split but it wasn't anything to do with race. On a ragga tip was SL2, two white DJs, Pennywise was Mickey Finn. My point is loads of white peoples liked jungle too and were involved in launching it
Pal I can remember your DJ name from back in the day and can remember when Kool and Rush were both playing out of Nightingale estate and the battles between the two over the airways, they were bloody good times man....Another station that seems to have disappeared without an echo is Eruption, they were good and were there from day dot.
I miss going to raves like '95 Brockout and shopping at the different stores for the jungle records. We had a pretty decent scene here in Chicago. Ah the good old days...
Wow! Great to see Uk Apache and Shy FX - I still have that track of theirs 22 years later - "Original Nutta". The world clearly has changed a lot. Theses guys look great too and simply dressed and styled. Great too to see DJ Rap, not a bad looking girl back then, definitely like the look of her 3 series Red BMW :-)
I went to my first “jungle party” in 1995. Athens Georgia. I was immediately hooked. Got some techniques in 1997. I went to England for 6 months in 2000. I love that jungle vibe.
I wonder how she looks now. Great to see her come out of that Red 3 series BMW - loved a lot of the cars back then, they had identity and character about them.
Looks like Gloucester Road in Edmonton :D Good to see another N9/N18 do well! Scary what Shy FX was saying about street culture as that's exactly whats happening now in London!
yeah black people have a lot of influence everywhere, the recognition has been around for years... in fact, everything is about being black... every nation people wanna be black... and it's not even black... it's just consume consume consume... Culture is a corporations trick for humanity to blindly destroy the planet...
The irony is that house and techno originated in America and was created by Black people and it sounded like Black music. European DJs took the music and took all the Black out of the music. Jungle music tried to make it cater to a Black audience but it still had that lack of those hard core polyrhythmic drum from that funk and gospel sounds that existed in original house music. Even techno had some serious nice melodic flows and drum style you'll find in Black American music.
Love this but the jungle beat has been in numerous 70s jazz funk albums (Donald byrd, etc)If anything what uk did was make more use of sampling with the jungle beat
the point is that it happened in Britain! it happened because of the house music scene and because of the hip hop scene! but before that you have electros bboy breaks! so it was a collision of this! with both black and white people! yes the influence of the reggae and ragga flavours came through! I was there right from the start! it came as the hardcore was starting to incorporate and isolate the breakbeat! Which gave the chance of hip hop flavours and breaks to be speeded up! eventually it became commercial and all gangsta with little kids with their caps on acting all tough! so people thought it was a black ting! it could not have happened anywhere else and with cultures!
yes, a lot of bass, and bass cures all and moves everything. i danced breakbeat in empty clubs so i never enjoyed, and didnt appreciate jungle but later as dnb. jungle is probably the best expresion of raving, as has a sexual pulse too appart from crowd deinhinibition and dont require mandatory synthetic drugs as other movenent did
wow never realised how hard if was 4 these guys to actually get the beats put there ....I will always love jungle 💫💞💫 of Yeh n shy fx is fit azzz lolz 💫💞💫
20:00 This whole thing is a big deal, Jujngle tried really hard for years - decades - stay underground - to consciously keep the sound underground. They didn't want it on Top of The Pops, where every little mug can just "join in" wher mega-bucks come and ruin it and the music industry just pumps endless money in and makes it lame by mining all the soul out of it. That was the landmine that General Levy stepped on. Everyone said something about "oh he said he's king of jungle" or whatever, but really there was a network of jungle-labels, dj's, stations, and they chose to cancelled him - word went out, on him and he was cancelled by the scene, he was made toxic. Because he tried to go mainstream, wanting money, not realizing the scene didn't want money, they wanted the scene. Which exposure would ruin. "DJ" Elaine is missing the whole point that it is exactly because he was making it mainstream that was the problem, they didnt want popularity. All the other dance music turned into total crap when it got exposure - Prodigy wrecked dance and rave, when you had Madonna releasing "Trance" records, trance was dead, Garage sold out, it made it all "obvious". It injects the lame-stream :- obvious nobs with no style could just "join in" and mega-money rushes in to saturate it and the art form dies. Like Punk died previously. Jungle+Drum'n'bass held out for longer than any of them. For years. Then Pendulum, a bunch of detached Aussies, who didnt at all understand or even like the music, or the culture, really didnt care - just made instant sell-out rock out of DnB - removed the mystique, showed generic dance-producers that money could be made in it - produced the kind of stuff you could play to your parents and the chart-buzz injected all the wrong people that the scene had been so careful to avoid and made it into simplistic sell-out "rock music" and Drum'n'bass died. It has never recovered from Pendulum. Roni Size took a dent when he briefly got mainstream attention in 1998 and he quickly withdrew to go underground again, but it took years for him to earn back his street credentials. The kids, the underground dropped jungle and embraced grime, which went so insanely aggressive and embraced gansgta-ism so extremely that it could not be commercialized for a long time, then they wrecked that too, then Skrillex destroyed Dubstep. The thing the kids listen to now is Drill Rap, which again embraces extreme violence to make itself unmarketable. Being overground wrecks the craetievity, it fills it with fakes and whatever music it is loses its soul and then something separate is born If General Levy wanted to be a pop star, he should have just made pop music. Dozens of dancehall records have hit the UK pop chart, he could have done that. He was a necessary sacrifice.
Who's here in 2023 and still reppin the jungle lick... 30 year's and still strong as ever!! Lighter 🔥🔥

I will always remember hearing jungle from the windows of the estate I grew up on. Being 10 in 94 was always a staple in my childhood
i only know two things about jungle: that it's wicked, and it's massive
Funny you say that, because it was hearing Massive Attack as yougin that led me to sound system culture ultimately
That's........
incredible.
It owes me money
unfortunately, its 'junglist massive' not 'jungle is massive'

Man it's amazing to see all these tracks that blew my mind being created!
I will always be an every day junglist. My prom dress was camo & I had headphones on listening to jungle. 22 years later jungle still has my ❤and my waist winding 💃🏾

Theses guys look great too and simply dressed and styled. Great too to see DJ Rap, not a bad looking girl back then, definitely like the look of her 3 series Red BMW :-)
Excellent stuff...thanks for uploading,
I went to my first “jungle party” in 1995. Athens Georgia. I was immediately hooked. Got some techniques in 1997. I went to England for 6 months in 2000. I love that jungle vibe.
Athens was the place to be in the early 2000s. Weatherman , D'RC , those were vibes
@@jamesstewart1794 those are the homies ! Haven’t seen Weatherman since I lived there but I still run into D:RC from time to time.
Forest Gate ,London E7 , WHERE IT STARTED 1992- Black MARKET RECORDS.
I still love jungle
Thats funny that the "local Dj's" refused to introduce UK Apache & Shy FX, because they didn't know they were coming...
what kind of mugs were they? Must be kicking themselves now that Shy is the biggest in the game. Fuck, even in 94 he was! Show some respect!
cant beat the original early 90s
You can't!! Do you remember Weekend Rush FM?
Just stumbled across this doc
And loved it❤
I miss those jungle-tunes with the horns like that. I remember it from MTV.. very jazzy. Who could it have been?
DJ Trace is just a lil baby here, wowwww
Andrew Sturgess underrated DJ
@@djpeekay25 definitely. I was lucky enough to see him spin in NYC around 2002 on a proper soundsystem. Solid darkness.
Andrew Sturgess Ash was another underrated dj
Jesus Christ, I forgot how fit DJ Rap is/was.
check her out on instagram. shes fuckin amazing still. 9.5/10
+Asmr Lover i knew fuck all about those. ill have to google that when me birds in bed
I wonder how she looks now. Great to see her come out of that Red 3 series BMW - loved a lot of the cars back then, they had identity and character about them.
LIVERNIL753 She's still lookin good. she's gotta be 46 or 47. She'll still look good at 60
@Thomas sttt = lol
Looks like Gloucester Road in Edmonton :D Good to see another N9/N18 do well!

yeah black people have a lot of influence everywhere, the recognition has been around for years... in fact, everything is about being black... every nation people wanna be black... and it's not even black... it's just consume consume consume... Culture is a corporations trick for humanity to blindly destroy the planet...

Golden years of jungle forever!!!!!
1 SIKK AF VID YO!! ....SOME HARDCORE FOOTAGE BLESS TO SEE MAN...LA CALI
alex hobart...track is Leviticus - Burial
So many samples of this documentary have been used in True Rebellion by Coco Bryce :)
The irony is that house and techno originated in America and was created by Black people and it sounded like Black music. European DJs took the music and took all the Black out of the music. Jungle music tried to make it cater to a Black audience but it still had that lack of those hard core polyrhythmic drum from that funk and gospel sounds that existed in original house music. Even techno had some serious nice melodic flows and drum style you'll find in Black American music.
What song is that @4:33? Please help me, please help me 😢
This one th-cam.com/video/fSdRD5bZsSQ/w-d-xo.html

This is traditional always forever cherish
Loved jungle, still do , hardcore on a ragga tip . I'm coming from sound systems and toasting angle days so jungle was easy to get onto .

I swear that one track during the performance starting @25:00 sounds like they sampled Cypress Hill I want to get high track. Sick documentary!
No the samples what cypress hill sampled
@@jjjjj2220 oh ok if I read that right lololol
I wish back in the day general levy could have jumped on the one nations at telepathy’s etc and done some sets with stevie hyper
Stone Island jacket 24:02 so beautiful
20:17 Gaddafi gets his jacket autographed by a junglist?
When Harry met Sally
When Levy met Gaddafi
When Dready met Spliffy
this is the first comment I have audibly laughed at in a long time.
Always wanted to know what the track was that was being worked on at 5:26. Anyone?
Love this but the jungle beat has been in numerous 70s jazz funk albums (Donald byrd, etc)If anything what uk did was make more use of sampling with the jungle beat
Along with Jamaica's dubbing culture
who else is watching in 1995?
the point is that it happened in Britain! it happened because of the house music scene and because of the hip hop scene! but before that you have electros bboy breaks! so it was a collision of this! with both black and white people! yes the influence of the reggae and ragga flavours came through! I was there right from the start! it came as the hardcore was starting to incorporate and isolate the breakbeat! Which gave the chance of hip hop flavours and breaks to be speeded up! eventually it became commercial and all gangsta with little kids with their caps on acting all tough! so people thought it was a black ting! it could not have happened anywhere else and with cultures!
Lots of exclamations! But true.
@@smartgenes1 ha funny!!!!. But yes I have got a habit of using far too many exclamation marks!!!
11:10 is this the bloke playing a shamen drum from Original Nuttah Video ?
i think haha
Plenty of white DJs/producers pioneering this genre as well.
Music's for all, it appeals to all. Long live Jungle hardcore
yes, a lot of bass, and bass cures all and moves everything. i danced breakbeat in empty clubs so i never enjoyed, and didnt appreciate jungle but later as dnb. jungle is probably the best expresion of raving, as has a sexual pulse too appart from crowd deinhinibition and dont require mandatory synthetic drugs as other movenent did
wow never realised how hard if was 4 these guys to actually get the beats put there ....I will always love jungle 💫💞💫 of Yeh n shy fx is fit azzz lolz 💫💞💫
Whoa, GIrl workin that Jungle!!!!! Dayz... Those Days dou!!!!!! Magic
20:00 This whole thing is a big deal, Jujngle tried really hard for years - decades - stay underground - to consciously keep the sound underground. They didn't want it on Top of The Pops, where every little mug can just "join in" wher mega-bucks come and ruin it and the music industry just pumps endless money in and makes it lame by mining all the soul out of it. That was the landmine that General Levy stepped on. Everyone said something about "oh he said he's king of jungle" or whatever, but really there was a network of jungle-labels, dj's, stations, and they chose to cancelled him - word went out, on him and he was cancelled by the scene, he was made toxic. Because he tried to go mainstream, wanting money, not realizing the scene didn't want money, they wanted the scene. Which exposure would ruin. "DJ" Elaine is missing the whole point that it is exactly because he was making it mainstream that was the problem, they didnt want popularity.
All the other dance music turned into total crap when it got exposure - Prodigy wrecked dance and rave, when you had Madonna releasing "Trance" records, trance was dead, Garage sold out, it made it all "obvious". It injects the lame-stream :- obvious nobs with no style could just "join in" and mega-money rushes in to saturate it and the art form dies. Like Punk died previously. Jungle+Drum'n'bass held out for longer than any of them. For years.
Then Pendulum, a bunch of detached Aussies, who didnt at all understand or even like the music, or the culture, really didnt care - just made instant sell-out rock out of DnB - removed the mystique, showed generic dance-producers that money could be made in it - produced the kind of stuff you could play to your parents and the chart-buzz injected all the wrong people that the scene had been so careful to avoid and made it into simplistic sell-out "rock music" and Drum'n'bass died. It has never recovered from Pendulum.
Roni Size took a dent when he briefly got mainstream attention in 1998 and he quickly withdrew to go underground again, but it took years for him to earn back his street credentials.
The kids, the underground dropped jungle and embraced grime, which went so insanely aggressive and embraced gansgta-ism so extremely that it could not be commercialized for a long time, then they wrecked that too, then Skrillex destroyed Dubstep. The thing the kids listen to now is Drill Rap, which again embraces extreme violence to make itself unmarketable.
Being overground wrecks the craetievity, it fills it with fakes and whatever music it is loses its soul and then something separate is born
If General Levy wanted to be a pop star, he should have just made pop music. Dozens of dancehall records have hit the UK pop chart, he could have done that. He was a necessary sacrifice.
BRUM AND bASS + JUNGLE MUSIC = LOVELY
