Back in January, University Challenge presenter Amol Rajan became an unlikely hero when he said "I can't accept drum & bass. We need jungle, I'm afraid."
The teams had been asked to name the genre born from the '90s UK rave scene and reggae sound system culture. After the writer Nathan Filer uploaded the clip to X, the moment went viral and reignited an age-old debate: what exactly makes something jungle?
Our latest film explores the story of jungle, from its myriad roots to the present day; the sound's unique characteristics and stylings; how it infiltrated the mainstream with tracks like "Original Nuttah" by Shy FX and UK Apache; and how, alongside the genre's pioneers, artists like Nia Archives and Shy One are passing it down to the next generation.

Its a great video, but it definitely should have mentioned something about Drum n' Bass. Especially because the clip starts with that gal mentioning DnB. They should have mentioned how DnB evolved from jungle. It didn't have to be in depth, and maybe they are making a documentary about DnB, but literally one or two sentences about DnB at the end would have made it perfect.

@kelvin000uk Месяц назад

Really enjoyed the video but it didn't explain how it considers drum & bass differs from jungle and hence why the University Challenge question was deemed incorrect. I'm 57y and remember "jungle" being used for tracks by Shut Up & Dance and on the Tribal Bass label from 1990 onwards. But I'm sure we called Goldie's Timeless "drum & bass". Same for Guy Called Gerald, LTJ Bukum etc. It was a broader term that also took in the more electronic, less breakbeat, sound they were producing. Interesting to hear different perspectives though.

@noxiousdow Месяц назад

True, I remember Goldie's Timeless being referred to both as jungle and drum and bass. I think it represents the fuzzy boundary between the 2 quite nicely, if you ignore the fact that drum and bass can be an umbrella catch-all term for both like you said. Listening back to Goldie now in modern times it seems to me to be more jungle than drum and bass just because of the speed, which I think is the main difference if indeed you want to try and disentangle them. Jungle was slower, and that allowed time and space for much more complicated rhythms than later dnb. And the complexity of those rhythms meant that you could listen to jungle in 2 ways: either as something fast and frenetic or slow and flowing, depending on what mood you were in and how you chose to interpret it at any given moment. That's what makes jungle more interesting than faster drum and bass for me, and it's the syncopation that makes me want to get up and dance.... or I would if I wasn't middle-aged and flabby.

@BantamsOnline Месяц назад

As someone who was into it in the 90’s. Clear as mud then. Hard not to argue it’s the reggae sample that sets jungle apart from just being breakbeat or drum & bass. Think the problem more is that there’s so many genres. Especially now.

@TrevKen 2 месяца назад

Good stuff. I still think they should have accepted "drum and bass" as they're synonymous in most cases. A better question would have been "what makes something NOT drum and bass" to answer their question properly.

@spacemant4482 2 месяца назад

Agree

@donach9 2 месяца назад

You can distinguish between them sometimes but there's huge overlap and they grew from the same scene. But even if you do distinguish them, I would say both A Guy Called Gerald and Goldie made tunes on both sides of that divide and they should have got the point.

@smartgenes1 2 месяца назад

@@donach9 There's not really much of a divide in truth. The only divide is the more raggaish 94 sound with less break editing, when it began to switch in 95 it was more of a return to the 93 style. By 95 most people used d&b to refer to all tunes, even the 94 ragga ones, which you could begin to call a sort-of subgenre 'jungle'. Since d&b didn't exist in 93 to refer to the stuff like Bizzy B, Invisible Man, Goldie, it could never be used to refer to those older tunes. The new sound was more digital, more edited, more timestretching, a cleaner sound. Tech-step started to take over late95-early 96 and some people think that is what d&b was but it certainly wasn't in 95.

One of the best vids on jungle I've seen! But... the influence of Belgian (and NYC) hardcore techno is critically overlooked. It was this that gave the vital 'vroooommm!' that carried raving from the euphoric house of the 80s into the frenetic experience of the 90s, and there's no doubting what a crucial element a well used hoover can be in sending the dancefloor into a frenzy. System X - Mindgames at 1:01 is a great example.

@MrSelectabwoy 2 месяца назад

@lambd01d 18 дней назад

The Belgians had a pretty healthy electronic scene in the 80s- EBM and New Beat, so it's not really surprising that they adopted US techno and made their own sound.

@spngled8654 2 месяца назад

Another documentary that gets it completely wrong, the predecessor of jungle was old school hardcore which dominated British nightlife for at least two years, hardcore was dominantly British but was a sound that producers the world over converged on in 1991 / 1992, it's influences were less about house and acid house and more about Belgian techno. It was never solely a second generation black scene, and neither were it's producers, it was a British working class musical movement. When jungle (previously called jungle techno) started to dominate the hardcore, it split primarily into jungle and happy hardcore, but other people headed towards techno which was taking off and house music though back then house and techno were much smaller scenes. Assuming that it was primarily a second generation black musical movement because the major influence is reggae is not accurate, there were plenty of white and asian producers across all the musical styles, there was never a black and white divide among fans of any of these genres, there was never a racial divide these were British working class musical movements. The generation we are talking about saw beyond race. Everyone partied together. Confusing all those genres at the beginning puts them all out of time.

@filled_soda Месяц назад

👌🏻

@noxiousdow Месяц назад

I agree. It came out of stuff like Omni Trio and the ragga was just a particular flavour of it. There was a whole happy hardcore scene ongoing at the same time and I was never into it tbh. Plenty of white jungle producers around and Asian too, otherwise how would people like Talvin Singh have become popular later in the decade? The scene was multicultural and the whole point of it was that it transcended boundaries of race and brought young people together under one roof. The world needs something like that now more than ever.

It's funny how after rediscovering my passion for electronic music at the age of 15 I had finished basic DJ course, forgot about it for several years, went through creating a rock band as a drummer at 18, going through that with a passion only for breaks, and now with rediscovering all that jungle power again at the age of 20 I've just went back to my place and said "now I'm ready to go professional", meaning to do a jungle/breakcore mix for my final exam. Jungle is just something that you hold on to, if you have appreciated at least once in a proper way during your lifetime. It feels like it could stick to one's life forever. What a wonderful feeling

Monumental video. Originally clicked on the video expecting to be let down by another "newer/younger" interpretation, but I was blown away by this short documentary. No hate on newer and younger interpretations but it's ironically refreshing to see the real substance of what makes something jungle.

@theodorep9569 2 месяца назад

I always thought jungle was just rebranded to drum n bass after some negative press around the rave scene in the early 90s. Been listening for decades - they’re the same.

@TpXThinner Месяц назад

I disagree, I felt that when it started being called drum n bass, the chopped up breakbeat aspect started to be replaced by more simple drum beats (basically a sped up rock beat) and the focus became less on samples and ragga/reggae samples and more on higher quality weird atmospheric noises and bass modulation synth stuff etc...

@FluxTrax Месяц назад

But the departure from the amen choppage towards a 2steppy beat was originally a jungle thing, just check out every jump-up tune from 95-97. The harder tech-step sound still had the classic jungle pattern, albeit with heavy down pitched breaks and darker sound

Wicked video, people need to know the roots of jungle

@alicezventures 2 месяца назад

ibiza crew were the roots really and the documentaries skip that era and go straight to bukem and others... it's a wicked description of jungle but not a wicked history lesson

@JimmyHandtrixx 2 месяца назад

@@alicezventuresyes ibiza but also other acid djs who had come from the soundsystem scene...its almost pointless trying to give the true history of things when lemmings will believe this rubbish that explains nothing. the problem is they are made by ppl with no clue. genres like jungle are made out of dj lead scenes not producers. a dj takes records from all sorts of genres but those hand selected tracks have something in common to create a sound vibe what have you. anyway back to the sht show...

@@alicezventuresSUAD/Ragga Twins didnt get a look in either, along with several others ... but with the focus being on foundational ingredients not artists, I think they did a fair job

@FluxTrax Месяц назад

I mean SUAD and Blapps Possee is a pretty good start. Britcore rap was often fast and worked together with the rave tunes, then also HipHouse since 1989 or earlier was basically about adding breaks to housebeats

Loved it. But it didn’t answer the more interesting question , what defines the difference between jungle and drum and bass? The question is still open and not answered by the doco. Anyone ?

@PhatInAHat 2 месяца назад

The question in University Challenge was open enough that Drum & Bass was also a completely valid answer to it, and the team should have been awarded a point.

@CoolPizzaTown 2 месяца назад

The answer to that question is this. There were several incidents of people firing guns at raves between 94 and 95, and there were two relevant consequences to that: firstly, some smart promoters started telling nightclub owners, "oh no mate, my rave's not a jungle rave, it's a D&B rave" - because to do otherwise would have meant the end of a financial gravy train for those promoters. Secondly, at the same time, a group of producers thought, " I don't really like some of the directions this music is going in", so they got together and decided to consciously differentiate themselves from the parts of the scene which they didn't much care for anymore - which meant, among other things, choosing to classify their music under a different name, even though it was ultimately the same music. Fast forward 30 years later, and people think they ARE two different genres, when they are really two different styles of the same genre - in the same way that Miles Davis and Duke Ellington play different styles of jazz.
