Re: who started jungle?

acid house started in ~1985

the firt prototype jungle tracks started appearing around 1988, however you wouldn't call it jungle.

the first real genre-defining tracks started coming out in '90 and '91.

Re: who started jungle?

actually, *ahem*....what happened was people like fabio and grooverider where just basically speeding up hip hop instrumentals and such (anything with a strong breakbeat) to match the techno and house tunes of the day.....eventually it progressed, got faster...... soon they just started producing the tracks with breaks already in them rather than blending tracks together to make the sound

Re: who started jungle?

That article that Noel posted is GREAT!!! Thanks girl. Did you guys see that s**t about Frankie Bones in the beginning. that s**t about his asynchronous beats is the s**t. It's weird to think that a man who still dedicates his life to House Music is considered a pioneer of the Jungle Sounds.

Jungle emerged from breakbeat techno (just like hardcore), and the origins are very blurry, and came from many different sources with many different influences.... But I can tell you for a fact it wasn't by speeding up hip-hop instrumentals.

Re: who started jungle?

Who were the pioneers in the jungle movement then? Hype & Swift come to my mind, from what I heard. I was only 9 and listening to Rick Deez at the time so I'm not claiming to be an expert.

Re: who started jungle?

well, first off, learn the history behind 'artcore/jungle tekno before you start trying to call people out......

(breaks out violin)

back in the "summer of love" days, (what, back in 88, 87?, earlier) wayyy be for 'artcore, people like, i.e.:fabio, grooverider, where mixing "acid house"(or whatever similar tempoed beats were runnin at the time) with breakbeats, sped up hip hop breaks, rare groove tracks, etc. to get a new sound, which progressed into what then became 'artcore/jungle tekno/proto jungle...when the ragga came in is when it firmly footed itself into some jungle bizness.


timetable:
88 - acid house
90 - fast tempo breakbeat samples over house tempo kicks
91-92 - ragga elements, techno sounds
late92-93 - jungle
94-95 jungle/jump up/atmospherics
95-96 hardstep/early tech
96-98 techstep
99-00 ? (haha)
late00-03 everything

this is, of course, my own data figures going from what ive observed and whatnot...the sound developed over time by different mediums, eventually people caught on and started producing the new sound that was developing through the underground....its from turntablizm really....

Re: who started jungle?

how about this version? history is written by the victors afterall:

DrumnBass [also called Jungle] is pioneered by two anonymous Jamaicans from the Concrete Jungle [a ghetto in Kingston, Jamaica] after sampling random beat patterns discovered by the SETI [Search for Extra Terrestial Intelligence] project. DrumnBass is introduced to the rest of the world by long time Los Angeles Tablist/Producer R.A.W. after he discovers it on his yearly rastafari pilgramage to his spritual home in Jamaica.

Senks~
Have studied the history, agree more with your second post, pretty on-point~
Your first post seems to play up the influence of hip-hop, and downplay other important influences.

Re: who started jungle?

Jungle was the original name, but the media/journalists and such thought it sounded racial/racist, so they came up with an alternative~ Drum N Bass, so drum n bass did not give birth to jungle.

Re: who started jungle?

Here's my .2

i was out in Essex in the late 80's early 90'safter all

Frankie Bones (bones breaks)

Fabio & Grooverider

Carl Cox

all are up there as are many others out there

True breaks started getting mixed with 4/4, sped up, mc's popped in ... but the real origin of the "term" jungle comes from white kids complaining of the "break" element stating the the music sounded like it was made by "jungle bunnies" and offensuive name for a black person comparable to the "N" word

Re: who started jungle?

my belief is that the jungle lifestyle spawned from the two genres hip hop and punk.

These genres way of thinking clashed in the 90's and brought out jungle...

Re: who started jungle?

It started on the sands of land of the mother
Word to mother, king like my father
My style survived slave ships, whips, and chains, hardships
Still through all this the praise roll off my lips
Bring your guns, chains and tone force your religion
On me cut my hair, the vibes still exist
To destroy the molesters of my heritage
But they conceal the drums of evil, my loyal lineage
King of kings, God of gods
Like my ancestors drums I beat the odds
More mics killed than slaves during the middle passages
Who rapes and ravages and calls us savage?
Jungle bunny, I'm not mo' funny, I'm mo' deadly
They know one day we'll learn how to use it
That's why they fear our jungle music
(Premier scratches "In the J-U-N-G-L-E")
We went from pyramids to the ghetto
Still my sounds make devils tumble like the walls of Jerico
Chant my paower to devour all the snakes and rats
Extrasensory perception to avoid all traps
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord
In the sancuary of your caves white kids press record
As my mystic music spread from sea to galaxy
It's inevitable, you can't stop me
Try to carbon copy, but it always comes out sloppy
You can't outrap me, you can't outrock me
Like the dreads on my head, you try and lock me
Down underground, but I bounce to the jungle
Melodies, that flows like the breeze
Through the trees, like my forefathers, command the wind and seas
With my jungle music
(Premier does his thing)
Unga bunga binga
Sound warrior, I'll take your head more than a rap singer
Enlightener, with the mitre
Make the forces of my nature smite ya
Over the airwaves, powers are released
Holy music destroy the savage beast
I'll beat the devil like a Niyabini drummer
Beasts his drum, this beat will drum through the summer
Try to hold us back with all the strength you can muster
You'll hear a sound similar to the one Custer
Heard before he got ambushed, you'll get ambushed
For taking this back to Kush
For too long you've abused it
On the low used it, and called it jungle music

Re: who started jungle?

Born out of the clubland's Ecstasy-
fueled fervor, jungle was rave
MUTATED by the influence of drugs,
dance hall music, hip-hop,and ghetto desperation of the recession-
wracked early 90's until it was too
hard, too dark, and too black for the
SMILEY- FACED MASSES........
