Made In Britain: Jungle

  • How is it that Britain, one little island in the middle of nowhere, has been such a game changer when it comes to creating original music genres that give birth to entire new underground cultures which then go on to have such a huge impact on the world?
    London - the crowning example of the uniquely British inner city mash up of race, class and culture - has been the crucible for a series of original and unique music genres and pop culture lifestyles that have set the world alight. The recipe has been further enriched by contributions from other key urban centres - cities like Bristol and Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds. Inspired by the bass heavy rhythms of Jamaican sound systems, fused with the culture, fashion, slang and attitude of the Caribbean, West Africa, Asia and America, fueled by a never-ending soundtrack of pirate radio, and led by successive generations of entrepreneurs, hustlers and maverick visionaries, the whole world has moved to the beats of underground music and club culture made right here, in Britain.
    This is the story of Jungle, UKG and Grime - three massive underground music scene that were all ‘Made in Britain.’ These more recent genres exploded from the streets, pirate radio stations and council estates of London and the UK’s inner cities over a period of just a few years in the 1990s. All three gave birth to their own unique sounds, creating a generation of stars, fashions, club scenes and fortunes and all three never quite vanished. Their beats, flows and attitude can still be heard in tunes being made today.
    Each episode gives the inside track one of the genres, as told by some of the leading figures who created these underground movements in the first place, in conversation with Ron Samuels, himself a leading light of the original 90s Jungle scene as DJ Ron, and now a documentary director.

    I'm sure I speak on behalf of all the other 40-plus-year-olds such as myself, who have also been there since day one, who grew up on jungle in London in the 90s, when I say it's a real shame this was only five minutes long.
    This shit was our bread and butter. 👌🏽

    I was a serious Junglist for 15 years. It was my life and all i thought about.
    I worked my ass off all week so i could afford to travel up and down the country hitting the biggest Jungle raves on the weekend. It was like a pilgrimage to Mecca!
    Glorious times!

    I was born in '97. My first experiences with Jungle were mainly from Video Game soundtracks and the occasional break beat in music here and there. Have been proper in love with the genre for 3 years now and even produced a few tracks myself. Absolutely beautiful feeling of community and creation. Not stuck up, excluding but simple effective tracks and big vibes. Massive!

    I was at the orchestral reworking of Goldie's Timeless a few years ago at the Royal Festival Hall. Goldie was there. So much love in the room for that man and the music, everyone was up out of their seats and raving. If you know, you know. Jungle/ Drum & Bass will still be breaking new ground decades from now.

  • @StephenCoorlas
    @StephenCoorlas 2 года назад +9

    Just Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Jungle will never die. It really won't - it's been the most successful genre at modifying the core concept of "music" as "beauty in harmonious form" to include "beauty in chaotic form". It was an emergent form of composition that offered a glimpse into a world where syncopation and a seemingly chaotic arrangement of notes and rhythms could create such unity.

    I’m 35 and the reasons why the UK scene that inspired so many is now seen as not as diverse as then, is because those in Europe, especially Eastern Bloc countries that wanna be part of the music don’t like Black / Brown, or Trans, Gay people; because we know why. Berlin, Sweden, Amsterdam yeah but there’s still a majority over there that aren’t of African descent that had or grew up with the mix like we had here.
    We had our struggles to get this played, still do, and this just shows how solid the UK sound is. Big up UK underground collective! Everytime

      @@afristar685 Agree with both these comments. IMO people class jungle as the more jump up ragga stuff, Top Buzz always played it a bit more dark, Jason played it a bit more obscure and in all my years ive never heard Patrick ask for a rewind!! Just my opinion of course.

    Is it any coincidence that the rave scene died and wasnt the same when it went from hardcore to jungle.
    Atmosphere got moody and dark, people getting robbed etc.
    A black man once explained to me why the rave scene died, he said to me “ the rave scene died because there were too many *iggas under one roof, it was always going to kick off “
    How much truth is in that i dont know, but it cant be denied that the peace, love and harmony was long gone when the jungle scene started.
