GEEZ... .I just thought this was from 90s. Maybe I overlooked something but I found Jungle Fatigue stating something in the spirit of producing oldskool... if this is really stuff from the 2020s... this is an incredible achievement. Turning the tides and the tables!
There was a very very good reason that we stopped using the term "Jungle" to refer to Breaks, Dub, and Drum n Bass music: The reason was that we actually listened to our black friends who informed us AND WE LISTENED TO THEM that the music was called that because the white people who were, in the early to late 90's, "borrowing" the traditionally black peoples' drum sounds, riddims, and basslines, we didn't realize how racist we were being in calling our beloved genre "Jungle". It doesn't even matter if you try to whitewash the walls as a concrete jungle, it doesn't even matter: we had outright _stolen_ the Amen break, kick for kick, and never paid a cent in royalties for it. So, we stopped using the racist-laced term. By 2006 we were no longer even calling ourselves Junglists. And that was ON PURPOSE Was it a different sound? Yes. Is it technically proper to call music from that era of that sound "Jungle"? Yes. Is it even possible to make new Jungle after the year 2000? NO. Don't undo what we did on purpose. Change your title. Don't be a racist, especially now that you know: It's Drum n Bass.
