HISTORY & JUNGLE: Jungle is a culture, not just a BPM
By DJ Missrepresent | JDNB 19.10.26 I've spent much of this weekend having a rather lively discussion on my DJ Facebook page about jungle, drum & bass, BPMs, SUB GENRES and what actually defines the music we've all grown up loving. JDNB was created in 2017 but many of us have been ravers since the 1990's and artists later on. Jungle to us is a culture, not just a BPM. I have curated 3 posts to accompany this : History & Jungle Jungle Documented By Videos Is Jungle & Drum &

JUNGLE DOCUMENTED: From Pirate Radio to the Dancefloo. 30 Years of History on Film
30 years of history on film, original 1990s broadcasts, rare archive footage and the pioneers are recorded on who shaped jungle and drum & bass. In my opinion sometimes one video may leave out crucial evidence of other's involvement. This isn't intentional by anyone (or at least we like to think so) but meerly so many artists and collaborations, so many people are involved sometimes one book, one post, one flyer, one article, one documentary just doesn't cover it all and tha

Jump Up & Dancefloor
Born from the 1990s jungle and drum & bass movement, Jump Up has grown into a huge underground scene in its own right. Over the years, the sound has branched out, with some styles crossing into a more EDM-influenced space, but the original underground sound is still very much alive. True to its name, Jump Up was made for the dancefloor, built to make people move, react, reload and literally “jump up” when the drop hits.
