I wasn't born till 1991, but now I'm a young adult I realise just how special this time was for youth culture and for British music. If I could experience the rave/jungle scene from the late 80s/early 90s I wouldn't hesitate, I'd go back in a heartbeat. Today's 15 year old's and over have no culture; just selfies, iPhones and an obsession with social media. Where's the culture of today? the music, the excitement, the movement? Those days are sadly far behind.
There may be more concise documentaries out there that detail the birth of this this music but, for me, this is the absolute BEST home made one I've ever seen (and I don't even speak in French narration)! 1994 was really the pinnacle of equal stylistic influences, added to sub-bass UK breakbeat hardcore rave, a few years after we pathetically settled on the much lesser 2-step formula that became the much, MUCH, lesser "D'n'B" format that ruled white folk (like myself) floors for a sad 15 years afterwards! It's honestly SO great to see how these original ex-pat crews from Jamaica and the West Indies DESTROYED London back in the early 90's (I was there), and left a wobbly slug's trail of dubstep in their wake............You guys will always be my true heroes!
wow i remember when i saw this on tv, i was 12 years old . The tv show was called "24 heures" and was broadcasted at around 1pm on saturday on "canal + ". that day, my father asked me if i wanted to go for a walk in the city and i remember saying "no i'm ok,i'm watching tv"...this was my introduction to Jungle Music !! Now i'm 34 years old and i feel like a kid again just by watching this . thx for the upload ;-)
In 1994 I was 17 and right at these clubs and raves in this heyday ... The rocket , laser drome, roller express ,the paradise club , the old Camden palace with the cinema for a chill out room ... 91-96 jungle raving times !!!!! Respect
I was 16 in Tokyo longing to experience that. I know born in tokyo is like win a big lottery. but thats not what I wanted. I evetually moved to london once.
Jungle way back then as a new music "style" was so experimental and beats even today sound so fresh and liberating. Luckily I saved a lot of vinyls from that era. Thanks for uploading this.
Pur docu, pur moment d'histoire: A Londres, en 94. DJ Rap, et UK Apache. Les journalistes français de canal +, ont sondés les soirées ou il fallait être, les labels qu'il fallait voir, et les artistes qu'il fallait voir et entendre, pour comprendre et apprécier ce mouvement, tant au niveau social, qu'au niveau musical. La Jungle, c'est ça !
Malheureusement, non Sébastien. Le côté racoleur de Canal est déjà bien présent et tord profondément la réalité de ce qui s'est passé sur la scène électronique underground à cette époque. Très loin de ce qu'on voit dans ce reportage médiocre.
No internet, no smartphones and no social media.. The old days were simply about making a phone calls the old fashioned ways since phone boots were a thing in the 90's
Really enjoyed that, proper slice of life of a fantastic era, I would have been 15 when this was first broadcast and just getting into rave music. As someone who doesn't understand French, would be great to get the narration subtitled in English.
Merci pour l'upload ! Pour allez plus loin passez sur notre chaine, nous y avons traduit un autre reportage sur la jungle de la même époque en trois parties réalisé par la BBC. (activez les sous-titres à coté du choix de la qualité vidéo)
Not positive but would guess its this. I think he was in house engineer early 90s. www.discogs.com/Billy-Daniel-Bunter-JDS-Let-It-Lift-You-Music-Is-Moods/release/32851
I was there at the start of the jungle parties and the first one i went to was in Birmingham 1991 handsworth leisure centre and it was just as the hardcore was beginning and they had started to isolate the breaks and then call it jungle techno! For me i had been involved with all the acid house music party's in Manchester and Blackburn and before that the early hip hop scene! The house parties had become commercial and too much piano house so when they started playing the break's it was a sweet revenge for me! I then started to go to Birmingham and London almost every weekend for things like roast jungle fever quest etc! At the beginning it was a great vibe with no heavy duty nonsense and then in 94 which was really the peak time and the golden era of jungle it suddenly became commercial and dark and gangsta and then the term drum and bass was coined and suddenly it was a black thing which is just untrue because at the start it was black and white together and that was the beauty of the jungle a big mix of everything like a form of British hip hop! After that I didn't really get out to many and the music was drum and bass Pop which killed the jungle but from what I'm hearing now it seems that the jungle has come around full circle again and it's gone back to its original style jungle but in lots of different styles!
There is only one person who talks the REAL DEAL in this whole program..Oh! that would be me at 42:20....i was running the raves and pirates SOUR was just a milking label who attracted talent through its few hits and hype (like this program) ..where are they now ! Strictly Underground still lives and still keeps it real!...true to the scene SU Crew!
Je ne me lasserai jamais de cette époque ...le Real underground lié à la démocratisation des PC bon marché par la chute du prix des mémoires informatiques;). 87's - 99's....la période des mélanges musicaux (tous styles) qu'ils ne fallait pas manquer....après tous ce qui se fait actuellement (après récup' pour de la mauvaise monnaie...sans terreaux culturel)..me fais doucement rire !!!! On eut lui donner tous les noms qu'on veut..Dr&B, Dubstep...etc La qualité sonore et la manière de fabriquer est totalement perdue et tout ceci est entré dans un format commercial au antipode du bidule originel ;).. qui n'a plus rien d’expérimental...pour sur !
I'd love to know how DJ Rap was going to get from Southend at 1am when her gig finished there, to Wembley for 2am when the journey is 1hr 15mins minimum. She had to be late for that one.
sounds like a remix of breakage #4 at 42:50 anyone know track name? as its a white label may be difficult to know .... sure is for me! just remembered it sounds just like the beat at 12:40 must be a remix they did
If you were there that time... You know the score. Amazing times. And kids today think this was lame but bouncy Knowles, lady gaga and Kane west are great and the sad thing is we can't tell them why these days were so amazing because "things" went on that we can't set as an example to the kids.
@@birminghamcityfootballclub7587 Evenson Allen would touch the mic a sing those signature lyrics "I can feel a rush coming on!! I feel it in my body all night long!!!" The whistles and horns, the smoke, the lasers. Lipmaster was a wicked DJ. They are a national treasure. Ratpack meant roadblock event!! Big up Kerry!!
tune id 42:42 ? remix with noise factory - bring you the future / future II .. not know that remix .. some help for that ID tune ?????? epic classic jungle tune !!
