If you’re a music producer and this reaches you, please comment so it doesn’t get lost on the non music type of ‘jungle’ videos 😂 It’s been lovely connecting with you all and I appreciate this community that’s forming here so much
Love love love finding these videos right when I decided to dive into jungle! Been a househead forever but always a fan of breakbeats, being a drummer I can’t resist the vibes 😅
Ive been producing for almost 20 years, hip hop, metal, rock, edm, but I never tackled Jungle cause it's just the greatest and I didn't wanna fuck it up! but I think I'm finally ready! I grew up in Jamaica in the 90s so this sound really resonates with me! great tutorial, and I appreciate that you provided both samples and free vsts, really well made video, keep it up!
I’m a 40 yr old mom. As a teen in the late 90s rave scene I wanted to learn this but didn’t even have internet then. Knew some djs at 16 but they were all older guys. So glad I found this and maybe I’ll pick up a new hobby. Nice that you included the Human Traffic scene 😄
That's so cool! The 90s rave scene must've been amazing, experiencing that time I imagine you saw lots of incredible things and yes human traffic is such a good movie. Thank you for sharing your story
I often think how lucky we were to live through those times. 90's-00's rave scene was some of the most fun pure times ever. Surely unable to be recreated.
Now I understand why one day in The Netherlands as a teenager I was playing around with my stereo, picked up a hard to detect AM frequency station from England with what I now know as Jungle, I had never heard of Jungle before and it blew my mind, it was mainly gabber and hardcore trance that was popular in NL. Now I understand what I picked up, it wasn't mainstream radio at all but likely some place perhaps even a ship broadcasting. Amazing. Thanks for sharing, I never would have known.
That’s a great story…it was probably being transmitted from an inner city estate…top of a tower block….they would never had guessed it could be heard in Holland
The whole aesthetic of this vid with the retro windows 95 look is an incredible vibe. That paper clip and butterflies gave me serious nostalgia. Absolute quality 👏
Thanks Jim! I appreciate the kind comments fam, really means a lot as a smaller independent creator :) I’ve got a lot of things coming up that I can’t wait to share with you, hope you enjoy the rest of the videos on my channel
Fantastic stuff man. I know almost nothing about production, but fondly remember the 90’s sound (LTJ Bukem my fave), and would love to tinker with this. Inspiring video, very well explained, and great sounding result.
Ay thank you fam, that really means a lot :) I appreciate having you as a part of this little community, Glad to hear you’ve found the vids useful. Much more coming soon
I love seeing young people with genuine passion for stuff made before they were born. Hopefully we'll see a full-on '90s style jungle revival very soon. Great video. 👍
DJ Harmony (of Moving Shadow) fame launched a label called Deep Jungle in 2017 (I think) and Tim Reaper's Future Retro label is pushing a new era of jungle to new audiences. Deep Jungle was initially releasing previously unreleased 90s stuff off DATs people had laying around but then they started releasing newly produced jungle and Harmony's even been producing again. I've been a big jungle fan since I was about 20, although I was born 1990 so too young for jungle when it a new phenomenon.
True story: I`ve been in Tokyo for 24 years now and 4 years in I met this bloke from Leeds who was a diehard DnB fan. Showed me some tight shit to open my eyes when I was only spinning pure minimal techno. His name was Chris. He always had the fun. Hence, his nickname was Chris "the Pharmacist". Now that I am much older, and hopefully more mature, seeing Chris "the Scientist" break down more efficiently than the other Chris could have hoped, I am now thinking it was probably the drugs that messed with the comprehension/explanation aspect of it all. It is awesome to see a new generation find musical gold!!
I'm 48 and the nineties were a musical rollercoaster for me. Jungle, Hip-Hop, Techno, Gabber, Grunge, I loved it all. Thanks for this memorylane and high quality video! A sub well earned!
I really respect the clear reverance and knowledge you have about not just the genre, but the culture that spawned Jungle. Seen a lot of Americans simply just call it "PS1 music" which is where the sound ended up, but totally whitewashes its origins. The fact you were able to put together such a concise tutorial with authentically nostalgic visuals on top is so cool. Mad respect.
Thanks very much! This comment meant a lot to read, jungle certainly carries a lot of love and nostalgia in my heart. Fond memories racing through London with my Dad in a car, blasting this
I have a hard time with stuff like this. I love that this video fills in some of the historical context. That just makes the whole culture of music richer, IMO, to understand more of its origins. OTOH, I really don't like when people imply (or outright claim) that the evolution, or even just the impact, of a genre of music is somehow a disservice. Music has always spread from place to place. It's how styles continue to innovate. In the 90s, I *loved* jungle and DnB. The heavy influence of many different flavors of electronica is also one of the things that makes the PlayStation one of my all-time favorite game consoles. (That, and the absolute treasure trove of superb games spanning the genres from racing to RPG.) It was a natural fit -- the PSX audio chip was basically a sampler, and had the same limitations that a sampler or early arranger/workstation keyboard from that era would've had. Namely, limited memory to store samples, and a handful of effects that could be pulled off in real-time. It was the same motivation that littered the Amiga and PC MOD scene with techno. You just couldn't write a song with convincing samples of organic instruments because the waveforms were too complex, and too long, and therefore took too much space. Also, it was arguably the first time a games console targeted a demographic that would've been at the right age to appreciate that kind of music. The result was that this "underground" music style was made available to a whole generation of young adults, who spent time listening to it out of obligation (it's just what was playing behind the game), and in turn, developed a taste for it. Maybe some people think that makes it "less pure" that more people like it. Those people are called snobs. Maybe some other people feel the composers of those soundtracks had no right, as they were just kids from the UK and Japan (the primary hotbeds for game development at the time), and so it's yet another case of "appropriation." Ugh.. As if anyone is born superior. We're all dropped here on the planet, a citizen of any given nation by happenstance. We didn't choose it, we didn't earn it. We are what we are out of pure dumb luck. And to think that we would rob anyone of the chance to contribute their ideas to a genre they're passionate about, over something as trivial as their postal code... I am thankful for the changing of hands that music has been through. I feel we've benefited from it greatly. Make no mistake -- there have surely been some atrocious acts of theft that have left a scar on history. Heck, the entire music industry is a mob. But a guy sitting in front of a computer contributing a track to the Wipeout XL soundtrack isn't that, and it's utterly unfair to hold them accountable for the sins of others. It's not their fault that some 13-year-old didn't know the whole history of sound systems when they were bobbing their head to The Prodigy. IMO, if that disconnect makes you uncomfortable, educate. Yourself or someone else -- doesn't matter. Don't just complain that some kid liked music that didn't belong to them. Fill in the gap. The DJs spinning vinyl in Jamaica didn't come up with that stuff in a vacuum either. Nobody does. It's been a cooperative effort since the beginning of time. Few things unite people like music, and it's such a waste to try and contain it when we could be using it as a means to foster respect for each other. Maybe that's not what the OP was saying at all, and I'm preaching a sermon to nobody here. I actually hope that's the case. But regardless, having someone refer to jungle as "PS1 music" sounds like an opportunity to expand someone's horizons.
immediately before "jungle" there was a short lived genre called "ragga" (it lived around 2 years) . This was very similar in retrospect, but was solidly focused on the dub reggae influences and it was only when jungle exploded that people were allowed to step outside the rigid; chopped beats ,dub bass lines, some relentless MC chatting format, adding whatever other elements they wanted (e.g. the synth pads) and finally telling the MCs to shut up and let the music happen sometimes (progressively more & more). Jungle swamped its parent entirely- and Ragga was absorbed wholesale, rather than replaced.
Na.... Before Jungle it was called hardcore.. then ppl called it jungle techno then they dropped the 4x4 kick drum out and jungle was born... Ragga jungle got big in 1994/1995 It ruined the parties as crack heads started going to raves and the vibes changed.. The club's then refused to host any jungle party's and drum n bass was born.. Drum n bass is way better for MCs as well..
@@-processdrone- i lived it dude 😎 . Park Field Street massive 😉 Ragga jungle got big in 1994 until the end of 1995 Jungle was well established by then...
@@-processdrone- it's clear to me that you never lived through them time's 😳 or know anything about music you talk of..... Breakbeat is in drum and bass jungle and hardcore...?? Jungle dnb is the evolution of hardcore... Here's Google's explanation... Jungle is a type of electronic music that evolved from breakbeat hardcore, while breakbeat is a broad genre that includes jungle:
This is so cool. I'm just young enough (born in 1986) to miss the 90s rave and jungle scenes but old enough to remember how this sound influenced video game music and other stuff that was more accessible to me as a kid in the 90s.
I've been producing music for almost 15 years at this point, and I wish there would have been something as clear yet thorough as this when I started! You have a real talent for teaching, my friend 😸
Man, I just had this realization that there are entire generations out there who can explore windows 9x as something "new" with the understanding of today's UI and expectations. For a lot of us, going back to win9x would have a nostalgic feeling that I don't think we could separate from.
Yeah lots of fond memories of playing retro games on my Dad's old work computer, the nostalgia from that is what inspired a lot of what you see on my channel
Cool. Thanks! In the 90s, I went to the first Jungle club in Berlin, the Toaster. The MC still works today and shares the stage with people like Goldie when they come to Berlin. Thank you, Britain, for all this music, Jungle, D&B, Triphop, IDM.
Yes! Glad you appreciated that, I felt it was important to include. Growing up I used to love hearing them in the car with my Dad, whenever we were driving through London :) Lots of nostalgic memories
I was surprised how effective and straight to the point this video is. Will be sharing it with aspiring jungle producers as a quick and simple intro to the aesthetic. Well done.
Thanks! Yes that’s my goal with this video series on my channel, I want them to give you the information in an entertaining way, that doesn’t waste your time
Great video. As someone who's been making Jungle/Hardcore for over 10 years it's lovely how simple and effective the genre can be to evoke such a vibe. Kudos!
Thanks fam, I appreciate the support :) yes you must’ve seen a lot change in the jungle genre over that time period? I’m glad it’s found it’s way back to the spotlight
Ah nostalgia! This brings me back to being in my 20s in the Bay Area! I was too nerdy (and overworked from jobs and college) to go to raves….but I loved the jungle/D&D club scene. It was all kinds of people dancing in their own way and just living the vibe. In contrast to the dominant grunge and gangsta rap of the era. Pure fun. Aggressive! Ethereal! Trippy! Sexy! Whatever you wanted. Good times!
Thanks Finley! I’m glad this vid reached you fam :) I’ll have more coming soon, so feel free to subscribe with notifications on, if you’d like to see more
Im a Turkish person with no music making experience and randomly introduced to this genre by you. Your video editing skills are so cool. You are creative, keep creating friend.
Never heard of Jungle music in my life, never saw your face before, never listened to your voice. I'm hella intrigued! I'm no producer.. unfortunately.. but this tutorial gave such an inspiration boost! Will definitely keep following, damn that editing is hella cool. Such a sucker for retro games, you really are incredible!
@@christhescientist seriously, where can I listen to it? I need this track in my life! Can't keep coming back to the 1 minute snippet here all the time :-S
Seeing that the new generation enjoys this music makes me very happy. I spent a lot of long nights dancing to this stuff when I was a teen. Good times.
Song at the beginning is a perfect recreation of 1994. Very, very specific. That's like not just learning to speak English, but learning to speak Sheffield English or Suffolk English.
Wow thank you very much, I'm glad you appreciate the subtle nuances I included. It was important to leave references and important ear candy, so that people like yourself would know I had put a lot of research and effort into the music. Thanks very much for this comment, one of my favourites I've received so far
Thanks! That’s my aim with these videos, I want them to be fun, entertaining and useful. So to hear you say that puts a smile on my face :) Thank you my friend much love
@@christhescientist Is any chance to get this intro track in some better quality than ripped mp3 128kbps from this vid? Man this is absolutely hell dope classic feel! Pls share it with us!
i discovered my passion was making music in early highschool (around 2018, all before that i had thought i wanted to be a microbiologist lol) but i never learned any sort of music as a child so its been very hard learning especially when i was starting. Because of this im extremeley grateful for videos like this that provide tangible resources for making music that i love! and without them i would be so far behind where i am now, so thank you!
Jungle came from a long line of influences, not just Caribbean culture. People seem to be editing out the warehouse parties and rave side of it to fit in with The trendy narratives. The production side of this video is brilliant. Respect
So glad you’ve made this! 😀🙏 I was a huge jungle (then d’n’b) fan back when it came out in the 90s, and still am today. Having a sound engineering and musical background to some degree, I especially appreciate this. Amazingly (and I seem to not be the only one), you (and others) managed to make me discover stuff that I never knew about it, like which samples were used, some history of where it came from etc. So thank you!
One minute into the video, I thought to myself, "I have learned nothing, but if the whole video is just another 5 minutes of this track I will not be disappointed."
this is such a brilliant tutorial mate. i've watched it many times over from late 2023 until now, and only today have i finally decided it was time to make my own song. would not have done it without your help, i was so lost. thanks a bunch.
That’s very humbling to hear fam, thank you! The whole point of this channel is to inspire people to want to create, so I’m very pleased to read your message :) Good luck with the song
Proper trip down memory lane. Loved the Windows look with the attention to the little pop up clips and FX (and clippy lol). Loved it, especially the intro with a bit of history. If I had time and budget I’d love to make an expansive documentary on the history of jungle and D&B in the vein of Netflix’s Evolution of Hip Hop.
Man, nevermind the actual subject which is some of the soundtrack to our childhood, I have to say the editing of this video is top notch! All the Windows 95 tropes, the games, the icons from back then used in the annotations - it's so well done, it makes me remember old times and I love it.
I love the style you've created this tutorial in. The aesthetic flair and clear explanations make this way more engaging to watch that any old generic tutorial
Excellent video! I love how you've presented this and it's nice and short and sweet too. I absolutely love Jungle, DnB and Liquid Funk. That tune you've composed for the video is absolute 🔥🔥🔥
i came from tons of low poly dnb jungle ambient mixes. started at this early autumn and feel the drums. im 40 yo and want say thx for re-enter my psp sega games era
video got straight to the point, gave a great roadmap of how to make the music, even provided historical context for the genre, all with fun visuals, in under 10 minutes. Truly a 10/10 piece of content :D
couldn't hit subscribe fast enough. that a young person takes such interest in and shapes their life around the culture of my teenage years is pure flattery, which will get you everywhere. combined with the bio on your homepage, and I know you're doing the Lord's work;-) keep it up, I will stay tuned
I keep rewatching the first one minute of this video, it’s incredibly well done. If you ever make a full music video I will listen to it on repeat. Amazing!
this man made the most instructive video whilst also having aesthetics on top of it. absolute gem of a video, edit, arrangement, everything!! amazing. and all in 5 minutes!
Thanks very much! I'm so glad this vid was able to reach you :) I'm currently working on my next one as we speak, so I loo forward to sharing that with you too. Thank you for this lovely comment my friend
I'm so glad you were recommended to me, I've just begun producing and I have always loved this type of music but had no idea what genre it was 😅 thank you for breaking it down in a way my smol brain could understand. Absolute legend! 🤙
What a lovely comment to read, thank you very much :) likewise I’m glad to have you here as a part of this little community. If there’s ever any requests or things you want me to cover, don’t hesitate to ask! Thanks for the love
Another banger Chris! Love the history of jungle and providing that context, really helps set the scene & it's great to see the late 90s/early 2000s having a resurgence now 🙌
Wow, thanks a lot! Definitely high praise to read that. I’m so glad you find it helpful and I really appreciate you being a part of this little community
A someone who started making music almost 15 years ago, i wish i had all those tutorials at my disposal (i wasnt even talking english back in the days so it was really difficult to find great ressources to learn), you are lucky young people, go and produce some bangers!
This is one of the best RUclips videos I've seen in awhile. Informative, concise, aesthetic design, and excellent editing. Engaging throughout. Difficult to find content that's *this* high quality these days. Hope you keep putting stuff out
Wow, thanks very much! I really appreciate you saying this, I take a lot of care when making these videos so I’m glad you appreciate them :) Hope to see you in the next one my friend
Gostei da thumb, apesar do Brasil não ter nenhum representante forte de DnB, Jungle ou Ambient, ainda pode ser que alguém apareça pra ser um representante nacional do gênero. Amo seu canal cara, tô aqui há muito tempo, amo sua estética e os tutoriais que você faz, eu gosto deles porque são feitos pra gêneros bem específicos. É nois! 🇧🇷 🇬🇧
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it my friend :) I appreciate you taking the time to check out the rest of my channel too, I’ll have more videos coming soon
@@christhescientist"talented content creator" yeah that seems about right If you're doing this alone man well done Editing is "dense" without being over the top like fighting for the viewer's attention ahah and it was pretty interesting I would've loved to see a more in depth and longer video in that style but I get that even for a kinda short one like that the work you must have put into it is huge already I encourage you to keep at it it's always refreshing to see actual quality on youtube ! Props
@@slov1499 apologies for the late reply, yes I am the sole creator and editor on this channel. So everything you see in these videos is me :) Thanks for your kind comment and feedback
Very nicely edited video, sir! You're so young but so eloquently spoken, calm, and "wise." It's like you've been a producer for 20+ years and you're swooping down to give us newbs lessons.
What a lovely comment to read, I appreciate it fam :) stuff like this really motivates me, glad to have you as a part of the little community we’re building here
This was absolutely fucking incredible. I JUST bought a couple of midi controllers to try out, hoping to inspire me to get back into beat making. It's been a while since I've opened up my DAW and my tastes have changed, so I'd LOVE to make some of this type of music. I'll be referencing this video multiple times over the coming days/weeks I'm sure. Thanks!
Awesome! This was a lovely comment to read and I’m so happy you’re getting value from these videos :) have fun experimenting and I’ll have a new video dropping soon, can’t wait to share it with you fam
Totally agree. 90s jungle tunes were sparse because of technical limitations, but the producers made the best of what they had. It made us realise that all you really need is a drum break, sub bass, and a pad or vocal sample and that's 90% of the tune done
Its because everything is made on modern equipment, its just doesn't sound raw anymore. I for one don't like the polished sound of today. Its just sounds 'tinny' to my ears and lacks thrust!
I love this take on teaching music production. I'm not a very technical mind. I try to learn the technical part as much as I can as I go. But a breakdown of feeling and vibes makes everything far more intuitive to me. thank you! Awesome video.
I'm a 14 year old music producer who's started to get really into the old school, rave scene, this video helped me start to learn the process of making this sort of music, thanks!
Great video Chris, with music history and production tips all in 5 minutes! Radio Caroline was the OG pirate radio station broadcasting from a boat and it's still going. Sadly, it never played jungle, it's mostly a rock station. I remember searching the FM dial for pirate stations in London in the 90s and recording shows to cassette. What a vibe, what a time! :)
Wow, that’s very cool information to learn thank you! That’s the great thing about making these videos, I get to connect with people like you who know even more niche knowledge about these genres. Thank you for sharing my friend :)
Wow, thanks a lot! I’ve watched several of your tutorials growing up, so for you to even acknowledge this is wild. Thanks for all the great tips you’ve given over the years :)
Ok fr the fact that you provided the jungle sounds for free, the sega sounds for only a score, and the other thing, and this video presentation showing you doing it with your laptop keyboard. Bloody hell, subscribed. I used to make music but dont have space for my MIDI gear and eventually stopped. This really encourages me to get back into it. Cheers man
Thank you very much! I take great pride in my music production, so as much as I try and make these videos entertaining, the main focus is always the track shown. So thanks for showing that love
A couple of years ago I started experimenting with some of the electronic sounds I remember from the 90s, trying to creatively incorporate them in my own stuff. This gave me some ideas, told a cool story, and has vibes for days. The Win95 desktop is a great touch.
You're a legend. I caught onto Jungle in the early 00s as a teen in Australia. Loved the mix of chill and rhythm and have been into jungle and liquid DnB ever since. Nothing makes me feel good like LTJ Bukem, Dillinja, Calibre, Ed Rush, etc.
Dude, you are bringing back a much loved piece of my teenage years. ❤ One of the last raves I went to was a jungle party in Atlanta, GA and I still have every single one of my jungle CDs. Shit, even the music software is taking me back to my experiments at trying to be a DJ. This was an awesome watch. Thank you.
Even as someone who has messed around with production since the 90s (Fruity Loops/FL Studio days!), this has helped visualize and bolster my understanding of everything. What a champion - thanks for bringing accessibility and SCIENCE to the masses!
Happy to help! This was a lovely comment, I’m pleased you enjoyed it and found the vid useful :) I’ll have more videos coming soon, look forward to sharing them with you my friend
Oh! I was just expecting to hear a song, but this is a genuinely useful tutorial that actually teaches you how to make Jungle music. And normally tutorials tell you how to make one specific song, but this just teaches you the concepts. I'm happily surprised and very impressed!
Great video! I remember when Jungle made its way over to NY in the 90s. My friends and I used to go to the raves/parties and there were always 2 rooms. A massive room for trance and then a smaller room for Jungle. We stayed in the Jungle Rooms all night. The late 90s were mad fun.

The heavy influence of many different flavors of electronica is also one of the things that makes the PlayStation one of my all-time favorite game consoles. (That, and the absolute treasure trove of superb games spanning the genres from racing to RPG.)
It was a natural fit -- the PSX audio chip was basically a sampler, and had the same limitations that a sampler or early arranger/workstation keyboard from that era would've had. Namely, limited memory to store samples, and a handful of effects that could be pulled off in real-time. It was the same motivation that littered the Amiga and PC MOD scene with techno. You just couldn't write a song with convincing samples of organic instruments because the waveforms were too complex, and too long, and therefore took too much space. Also, it was arguably the first time a games console targeted a demographic that would've been at the right age to appreciate that kind of music.
The result was that this "underground" music style was made available to a whole generation of young adults, who spent time listening to it out of obligation (it's just what was playing behind the game), and in turn, developed a taste for it.
Maybe some people think that makes it "less pure" that more people like it. Those people are called snobs. Maybe some other people feel the composers of those soundtracks had no right, as they were just kids from the UK and Japan (the primary hotbeds for game development at the time), and so it's yet another case of "appropriation." Ugh.. As if anyone is born superior. We're all dropped here on the planet, a citizen of any given nation by happenstance. We didn't choose it, we didn't earn it. We are what we are out of pure dumb luck. And to think that we would rob anyone of the chance to contribute their ideas to a genre they're passionate about, over something as trivial as their postal code...
I am thankful for the changing of hands that music has been through. I feel we've benefited from it greatly. Make no mistake -- there have surely been some atrocious acts of theft that have left a scar on history. Heck, the entire music industry is a mob. But a guy sitting in front of a computer contributing a track to the Wipeout XL soundtrack isn't that, and it's utterly unfair to hold them accountable for the sins of others. It's not their fault that some 13-year-old didn't know the whole history of sound systems when they were bobbing their head to The Prodigy. IMO, if that disconnect makes you uncomfortable, educate. Yourself or someone else -- doesn't matter. Don't just complain that some kid liked music that didn't belong to them. Fill in the gap. The DJs spinning vinyl in Jamaica didn't come up with that stuff in a vacuum either. Nobody does. It's been a cooperative effort since the beginning of time. Few things unite people like music, and it's such a waste to try and contain it when we could be using it as a means to foster respect for each other.
Maybe that's not what the OP was saying at all, and I'm preaching a sermon to nobody here. I actually hope that's the case. But regardless, having someone refer to jungle as "PS1 music" sounds like an opportunity to expand someone's horizons.
immediately before "jungle" there was a short lived genre called "ragga" (it lived around 2 years) . This was very similar in retrospect, but was solidly focused on the dub reggae influences and it was only when jungle exploded that people were allowed to step outside the rigid; chopped beats ,dub bass lines, some relentless MC chatting format, adding whatever other elements they wanted (e.g. the synth pads) and finally telling the MCs to shut up and let the music happen sometimes (progressively more & more). Jungle swamped its parent entirely- and Ragga was absorbed wholesale, rather than replaced.
Na....
Before Jungle it was called hardcore.. then ppl called it jungle techno then they dropped the 4x4 kick drum out and jungle was born...
Ragga jungle got big in 1994/1995
It ruined the parties as crack heads started going to raves and the vibes changed..
The club's then refused to host any jungle party's and drum n bass was born..
Drum n bass is way better for MCs as well..
@@oldskoolbeats1989 Na, Hardcore used breakbeats, not chopping beats up and reorganising 'em. Ragga was the first to do that in the late 80s .
@@-processdrone- i lived it dude 😎
. Park Field Street massive 😉
Ragga jungle got big in 1994 until the end of 1995
Jungle was well established by then...
@@-processdrone- it's clear to me that you never lived through them time's 😳 or know anything about music you talk of.....
Breakbeat is in drum and bass jungle and hardcore...??
Jungle dnb is the evolution of hardcore...
Here's Google's explanation...
Jungle is a type of electronic music that evolved from breakbeat hardcore, while breakbeat is a broad genre that includes jungle:
This is so cool. I'm just young enough (born in 1986) to miss the 90s rave and jungle scenes but old enough to remember how this sound influenced video game music and other stuff that was more accessible to me as a kid in the 90s.
I've been producing music for almost 15 years at this point, and I wish there would have been something as clear yet thorough as this when I started! You have a real talent for teaching, my friend 😸
Thank you for this lovely comment
Man, I just had this realization that there are entire generations out there who can explore windows 9x as something "new" with the understanding of today's UI and expectations.
For a lot of us, going back to win9x would have a nostalgic feeling that I don't think we could separate from.
Yeah lots of fond memories of playing retro games on my Dad's old work computer, the nostalgia from that is what inspired a lot of what you see on my channel
Can't get over how insanely high quality these videos are, keep it up mate
Thank you my friend! I appreciate the his comment a lot :) Much love fam
I grew up with this music and it was some of the best years of my life! With this as a soundtrack, life was amazing.
Cool. Thanks!
In the 90s, I went to the first Jungle club in Berlin, the Toaster.
The MC still works today and shares the stage with people like Goldie when they come to Berlin.
Thank you, Britain, for all this music, Jungle, D&B, Triphop, IDM.
That bit about illegal radio stations is incredibly cool, I didn't know Jungle had *Deep Lore.*
Yes! Glad you appreciated that, I felt it was important to include. Growing up I used to love hearing them in the car with my Dad, whenever we were driving through London :) Lots of nostalgic memories
i mean a 32 year old genre has to have quite a lot of history.
jungle is from the streets bro
I used to Dj on one 😅
That scene in the record shop from Human Traffic is funny but is actually pretty realistic.
Trash Theory does a really good deep dive on it if you’re interested
I was surprised how effective and straight to the point this video is. Will be sharing it with aspiring jungle producers as a quick and simple intro to the aesthetic. Well done.
Thanks! Yes that’s my goal with this video series on my channel, I want them to give you the information in an entertaining way, that doesn’t waste your time
Great video. As someone who's been making Jungle/Hardcore for over 10 years it's lovely how simple and effective the genre can be to evoke such a vibe. Kudos!
Thanks fam, I appreciate the support :) yes you must’ve seen a lot change in the jungle genre over that time period? I’m glad it’s found it’s way back to the spotlight
Ah nostalgia! This brings me back to being in my 20s in the Bay Area! I was too nerdy (and overworked from jobs and college) to go to raves….but I loved the jungle/D&D club scene. It was all kinds of people dancing in their own way and just living the vibe. In contrast to the dominant grunge and gangsta rap of the era. Pure fun. Aggressive! Ethereal! Trippy! Sexy! Whatever you wanted. Good times!
Nice! I had friends that were really into DnB and introduced me to Jungle in the 90s. My first DAW was Magix Music Maker in 1999.
@@mindfulnessbytheocean awesome! I’ve heard about that music program, so cool that you got to experience it first hand :)
been in the game since i was 16 havent seen anything or anyone better to teach my 40 year old wife and 4 year old Daughter . Respect man
God, this brings back memories.I was a jungleist raver in germany in the nineteen nineties and it absolutely kicked ass.
Glad this could provide some nostalgia fam :)
This was the single most visually engaging producer tutorial I’ve ever seen. Well researched too. Kudos!

Im a Turkish person with no music making experience and randomly introduced to this genre by you. Your video editing skills are so cool. You are creative, keep creating friend.
Never heard of Jungle music in my life, never saw your face before, never listened to your voice. I'm hella intrigued! I'm no producer.. unfortunately.. but this tutorial gave such an inspiration boost! Will definitely keep following, damn that editing is hella cool. Such a sucker for retro games, you really are incredible!

@@christhescientist seriously, where can I listen to it? I need this track in my life! Can't keep coming back to the 1 minute snippet here all the time :-S
Seeing that the new generation enjoys this music makes me very happy.
I spent a lot of long nights dancing to this stuff when I was a teen. Good times.
Song at the beginning is a perfect recreation of 1994. Very, very specific. That's like not just learning to speak English, but learning to speak Sheffield English or Suffolk English.
Wow thank you very much, I'm glad you appreciate the subtle nuances I included. It was important to leave references and important ear candy, so that people like yourself would know I had put a lot of research and effort into the music.

i discovered my passion was making music in early highschool (around 2018, all before that i had thought i wanted to be a microbiologist lol) but i never learned any sort of music as a child so its been very hard learning especially when i was starting. Because of this im extremeley grateful for videos like this that provide tangible resources for making music that i love! and without them i would be so far behind where i am now, so thank you!
Jungle came from a long line of influences, not just Caribbean culture. People seem to be editing out the warehouse parties and rave side of it to fit in with The trendy narratives. The production side of this video is brilliant. Respect
The quality of this channel is really good. You're making me think I could actually make music. Keep it up.
Thank you! And you definitely can do it
So glad you’ve made this! 😀🙏 I was a huge jungle (then d’n’b) fan back when it came out in the 90s, and still am today. Having a sound engineering and musical background to some degree, I especially appreciate this. Amazingly (and I seem to not be the only one), you (and others) managed to make me discover stuff that I never knew about it, like which samples were used, some history of where it came from etc. So thank you!
Thanks for the kind comment! I really appreciate it my friend :) Glad you enjoyed
Production quality on these videos is mad.
Thanks Jon! Appreciate the love fam :) More coming very soon
One minute into the video, I thought to myself, "I have learned nothing, but if the whole video is just another 5 minutes of this track I will not be disappointed."
this is such a brilliant tutorial mate. i've watched it many times over from late 2023 until now, and only today have i finally decided it was time to make my own song. would not have done it without your help, i was so lost. thanks a bunch.
That’s very humbling to hear fam, thank you! The whole point of this channel is to inspire people to want to create, so I’m very pleased to read your message :) Good luck with the song
Proper trip down memory lane. Loved the Windows look with the attention to the little pop up clips and FX (and clippy lol). Loved it, especially the intro with a bit of history. If I had time and budget I’d love to make an expansive documentary on the history of jungle and D&B in the vein of Netflix’s Evolution of Hip Hop.
Thanks my friend, that’s high praise coming from a creator as talented as you :) Glad you enjoyed it
Man, nevermind the actual subject which is some of the soundtrack to our childhood, I have to say the editing of this video is top notch!
All the Windows 95 tropes, the games, the icons from back then used in the annotations - it's so well done, it makes me remember old times and I love it.
Glad you enjoyed it! It was very fun to make :) I’ll have a lot more coming soon, so thanks for this kind comment
You have a perfect aesthetic for your videos, if people knew how important this is, the platform would be less generic
"here is how to make it, here are the tools" THAT IS ALL I NEED FROM A TUTORIAL AND YOU ARE AMAZING!
Thanks for this kind comment my friend! Much love
I love the style you've created this tutorial in. The aesthetic flair and clear explanations make this way more engaging to watch that any old generic tutorial

Excellent video! I love how you've presented this and it's nice and short and sweet too. I absolutely love Jungle, DnB and Liquid Funk. That tune you've composed for the video is absolute 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you very much! Honestly I appreciate the support, these videos are so fun to make and share with you guys :) Hope to see you in the next one
Thanks for making these videos! These have been really helpful for me transitioning from making more purely ambient music to getting into jungle/dnb.
You’re welcome Mark! Keep creating and having fun, grateful these could help
man so much fight games during the arcade days with the jungle beats, always catchy and groovy
Yes! Good times :)
Listening to this kind of music for decades and never know what's the proper name to call this style of music.
Fascinating video.

First step to making jungle "from" the 90s is to build a time machine.
I love how sparse yet full 90s jungle sounded. Modern EDM seems far too busy and over produced.
Yes it definitely is nice to listen to
Totally agree. 90s jungle tunes were sparse because of technical limitations, but the producers made the best of what they had. It made us realise that all you really need is a drum break, sub bass, and a pad or vocal sample and that's 90% of the tune done
they dont make these types of music like they used to jungle music is a throwback for me it takes me back to my childhood
Its because everything is made on modern equipment, its just doesn't sound raw anymore. I for one don't like the polished sound of today. Its just sounds 'tinny' to my ears and lacks thrust!
@@straightouttacornwall yeah, for real.
Great editing, makes me real nostalgic for windows 95
Thanks for the kind comment! Glad you enjoyed :)
I love this take on teaching music production.
I'm not a very technical mind. I try to learn the technical part as much as I can as I go.
But a breakdown of feeling and vibes makes everything far more intuitive to me.
thank you! Awesome video.
epic sonic gameplay
I feel it fits the energy and speed of jungle and breakcore music
what’s the song played over it?
I'm a 14 year old music producer who's started to get really into the old school, rave scene, this video helped me start to learn the process of making this sort of music, thanks!
Brilliant! I’ll have more music production tips and tricks coming soon :)
Great video Chris, with music history and production tips all in 5 minutes! Radio Caroline was the OG pirate radio station broadcasting from a boat and it's still going. Sadly, it never played jungle, it's mostly a rock station. I remember searching the FM dial for pirate stations in London in the 90s and recording shows to cassette. What a vibe, what a time! :)
Wow, that’s very cool information to learn thank you! That’s the great thing about making these videos, I get to connect with people like you who know even more niche knowledge about these genres. Thank you for sharing my friend :)

that example track was spot on. woah
Thank you very much! I take great pride in my music production, so as much as I try and make these videos entertaining, the main focus is always the track shown. So thanks for showing that love
Jojo Mayer is the drummer shown at 0:04, but that's the hard way to make a jungle beat...
A couple of years ago I started experimenting with some of the electronic sounds I remember from the 90s, trying to creatively incorporate them in my own stuff. This gave me some ideas, told a cool story, and has vibes for days. The Win95 desktop is a great touch.
You're a legend. I caught onto Jungle in the early 00s as a teen in Australia. Loved the mix of chill and rhythm and have been into jungle and liquid DnB ever since. Nothing makes me feel good like LTJ Bukem, Dillinja, Calibre, Ed Rush, etc.
Gotta love someone actually linking the samples and sounds used. Came from Tom Scott's newsletter, good work!
Thanks for the love! Also who is Tom Scott?
Dude, you are bringing back a much loved piece of my teenage years. ❤ One of the last raves I went to was a jungle party in Atlanta, GA and I still have every single one of my jungle CDs. Shit, even the music software is taking me back to my experiments at trying to be a DJ. This was an awesome watch. Thank you.
Glad to bring back some nostalgia!
Even as someone who has messed around with production since the 90s (Fruity Loops/FL Studio days!), this has helped visualize and bolster my understanding of everything. What a champion - thanks for bringing accessibility and SCIENCE to the masses!
Happy to help! This was a lovely comment, I’m pleased you enjoyed it and found the vid useful :) I’ll have more videos coming soon, look forward to sharing them with you my friend
Oh! I was just expecting to hear a song, but this is a genuinely useful tutorial that actually teaches you how to make Jungle music. And normally tutorials tell you how to make one specific song, but this just teaches you the concepts. I'm happily surprised and very impressed!

One of the best tutorials on Jungle.
Well done.
Great video! I remember when Jungle made its way over to NY in the 90s. My friends and I used to go to the raves/parties and there were always 2 rooms. A massive room for trance and then a smaller room for Jungle. We stayed in the Jungle Rooms all night. The late 90s were mad fun.
