Probably true for many millennials, but I'm sure also that many like me didn't encounter the genre any further until years later. I think i was probably about 10 when PPG started airing, and i discovered this music through my regional rave scene 12 years later, after which it was a couple more years that i thought back and connected these dots 😅

I think it’s also important to note that drum and bass is engineered from the ground up to sound and feel good when heard on a big, loud sound system. Its not pop music (although it has found mainstream success at times) and can sound very sparse or even boring if played on a phone or laptop speaker. But when the the drums and sub bass are literally pummelling your chest and the rhythm takes over your body it becomes more than just music, it can be hypnotic and tribalistic.

I happen to produce DnB, and I'd just like to point out that you've got your timeline mixed up a bit. Late 80s - Acid House utilised oldschool Drum Breaks from 70s funk records (the Lyn Collins "think" break and the Bobby Byrd "Hot Pants" break being just 2 of the mainstays). Early 1990s - Acid house turns into hardcore (e.g. the prodigy) after it made it's way over here to the UK. From there people started speeding up the hardcore records as you mentioned. However, where the discrepancy happens is the Reggae influence. Some of the British-Caribbean community take a shine to hardcore, and decide to mix the breaks of hardcore with Reggae samples. One of the most famous examples is SL2 - On a Ragga Tip which sampled multiple breaks along with Jah Screechy's "walk and skank" (released the same year). Again, this new fusion would be sped up, until this Reggae infused Hardcore became Jungle with tunes such as Rude Bwoy Monty's "Out in da streets" and Miami's flip of Buju Banton's "Champion" emerged over the next 2 years. To the end of 1994, there was an influx of gangsters infiltrating the jungle scene (family members of mine have told me stories about proper gangsters entering clubs and blowing Cr*ck smoke in people's faces), to the point that the samples became more Dancehall based rather than the more innocent Reggae tracks (singing sweet - when I see you smile is an example which can be heard in "Out in da streets" mentioned earlier. From there, Jungle started to become darker (think Renegade/Ray Keith - Terrorist) until artists like Goldie (under the alias Rufige Kru), Shy FX, DJ Monk and Remarc began to use less melodic samples, more chaotic beats, deeper and darker bass and experimental sound design. From 1994 onwards, Jungle morphed into what is now known as Techstep, which still utilised breaks, but had a much heavier emphasis on Sound design and processing, with artists such as Ed Rush and Optical, Andy C, and John B spearheading the movement. From here, Neurofunk emerged, using less breaks and samples etc. However, as DnB became darker and more technologically-focused, legends Fabio and Grooverider created a genre that took the soulful aspect of Jungle and further developed it, creating what we know as liquid DnB. Also please don't say that Dancehall MCs would make references to "the jungle" because it's actually related to a ghetto in Jamaica. See, Jamaica is split into different areas, much like Burroughs in New York. You have Spanish Town, Kingston, Riverton, May pen etc. Junglist referred to an area of Kingston known as Jungle. People used to use lyrics containing the word "Junglist" (which is the slang term used to refer to people from Jungle in Kingston) because it fit the name of the genre, which is said to have derived from the racial slur "jungle bunny" (referring to people of Afro-Caribbean heritage), as black music was referred to as (the aforementioned slur) music, which early jungle DJs and producers shortened to "Jungle", although the source for this may not be credible. As a person of mixed Caribbean heritage myself, I feel obliged to bring this to light, as the content is somewhat classed as misinformation. Sorry for the long comment. Apart from these bits of info, this is a pretty good video.

On that note, jungle morphed into tech step post 94 however, it really split into 2 sub genres with jump up being the other. Tech step morphed into neurofunk with the first track that leveraged Neuro bass with 1/16 note hi hats that really took off being “side effects” by the Kracken (aka stakka and Skynet) although it wouldn’t fully take hold as a force to be reckoned with until the monumental release of Konflicts “The Messiah”. Everyone was headed that direction but Konflict mastered it first, and Side Effects was likely an inspiration. Very under rated as I’m not sure neurofunk would exist without it. And jump up, in my opinion, basically spawned liquid funk even though they don’t really have too much in common. There’s always been a lighter side and a darker side where I always preferred the latter!

Not sure I would agree with some of that myself. Acid house 88 -89> belgian techno/rave (beltram etc) 90-91 > uk hardcore (break influenced (overlayed) but with 4/4 beat 91/92/93 > jungle tekno 92/93 (basement records type stuff still with 4/4 + break, but more techno influenced) > jungle (ragga influenced drop the 4/4, pure breaks, start of chopping) 93/94/95 > ‘intelligent’ drum and bass (jazz fusion, techno influenced, more break chopping and musicality) bukem/pfm/funky technicians/photek/source direct etc etc 95/96/97/98 > 2 step (alex reece type stuff programmed beats 96/97/98> drumfunk (digital etc) 98/99 >the rest of the shit variants like tech step, liquid and onto the even shitter variants that came after that. I would say his timeline is pretty good

A couple of YT recommendations from someone who is pretty new to Jungle / Drum & Bass history and production, but has recently been learning a lot very quickly: - Breakbeat Deconstruction: From hip hop to drum & bass and beyond - a talk by Dr. Jason Hockman at the 2016 Loop summit on Ableton's channel - A Beginner's Guide to Jungle Breakbeats - Tim Cant's channel, where he actually demonstrates slicing up breakbeats in Ableton - Goldie's April the 1st set on HÖR's channel. D&B has never been a genre I've focused on, but I ran across that at random, and knowing Goldie is a /huge/ name in UK D&B, decided to step outside my comfort zone and see if I liked it, then listened entranced for the whole set. I'm guessing that's why the others showed up in my feed (of course this showed up in my feed because I'm subscribed, because Jeremy is absolutely bloody lovely).

Great video. Here's how I remember it as a 52 year old first generation raver. The term Jungle was coined in reference to the percussive nature of the music as opposed to traditional House music which was just four to the floor. It was the addition of breakbeats to house that was responsible for the jungle tag. The crossover track was Reel 2 Reel's 'We Are I.E' which came out in 1991 and is considered by many as the first ever Jungle track. The term jungle was also popular in the beginning because it put a positive spin on a word that used to have racist connotations here in the UK back in the 70's and 80's when black people's music was often referred to as 'jungle bunny' music. When Jungle Techno came along it turned the term on its head and it became a positive term but it wasn't all roses for long. By late 92 early 93 the scene would begin to attract a lot of gangsters due in part to the violent nature of some of the samples used in some Jungle tracks. Sounds of gunfire and references to murder were not uncommon in hardcore jungle tracks. It got to a point when venues refused to host any events with Jungle in the title because it often attracted a moody crowd. The term Drum n Bass was coined to try and disassociate the scene from the hardcore ragga influenced stuff that was attracting the wrong crowd and giving the scene a bad reputation. The music also moved away from the ragga influences and became more melodic as demonstrated in the video.

The roots of this music is so important, and something people underappreciate because the brilliance of Jungle and Drum and Bass was it's ability to take the musical melting pot of the UK and turn it into a product, that was most of the time, greater than then sum of it's parts, which were already pretty amazing. Where I grew in London dance, hardcore, darkcore, jungle, and drum and bass were king. I lived between the record label Reinforced Records in one direction, The Production House studio in another, Chanel One Sound System in Notting Hill, Metalheads/Synthetic towards Camden, and they were all mixing together the tastes and influences of diverse groups of people that lived in those places. That is why it is almost impossible to pin down genres, and turning points. There was almost too much diversity, and change to make sense of it all. It's also why I feel dance music is so bad these days. There is a lot of regurgitation rather than adaptation going on. People learn the name of a genre, and recreate a fixed formula people have imagined for it. Which is weird because at the time they weren't producing to formulas that were fixed, but continuously evolving the sounds of music. Music now shouldn't aim to recreate imagined versions of past music, but should really be trying to build upon them, and adapt them. The real lesson to be learned from the evolution of Jungle to Jump-Up would be not to narrow the scope of your music, or limit it to simplified characteristics, but to do what was originally done, and add to the complexity, and diversity of music. As for terminology, I can say for certain as someone who lived through that era, spoke that dialect of English, and who still has the records and media like flyers and magazines lying around that most words used in this video are synonyms. I have records that literally reference the same track as Darkcore, Jungle Techno, and Drum and Bass. The distinctions at the time were mostly drawn on who you were talking to, which words were more common at the time, or what was written on the marketing. No one really paid attention to those labels until the very late 90s when the music had basically died creatively. So, I disagree when people say a jungle track has to have this, and a drum and bass track has to have that. Those terms were not talked about really at all until much later. I think the issue comes from the fact that word that may be common at a certain time becomes associated with tracks popular at that time. You get breaks on tracks referred to as drum and bass, synthesized drums on Jungle. Plus, a lot of things that don't follow any set definition that I hear now. I challenge you to put a label on a track like A Guy Called Gerald - Forever Changing. kzitem.info/news/bejne/yImMyG2FnqF_a4Y
