Drum and Bass / Jungle - Mid 90's

[Regbuser]

Mechanics, solid

That NTT ep, also like Mars

Appreciate those links.

Enjoying Amen Antiques 93-96 (classic amen jungle tracks in the mix).

I've got a huge amount saved on YouTube over years of detective work. Will post some up this week...

Check out YouTube channel feint static, and all associated Scientific Wax tunes, plus their monthly Sci Wax radio show. Its a modern homage to Amen, lots of Nebula, B Key and Equinox. Devastating sets and the channel has expanded and branched off nicely too into sub formats.

Great to see some interest for the drum and bass scene, however I have to say some of the links so far has been very generic / cheesy / mainstream.

My entire life between 95 and 2000 was devoted to jungle drum and bass - pirate radios, tape packs, it was literally all I did. For me it was always the not so well known tunes, underground sounds that did it for me.

Here are a few examples:

There are literally thousands more.

A bit, erm, "industrial". The Mechanics one sounds like actual mechanics trying to remove a troublesome ball joint.

heres one of my favourites from the era

These been a bit of a re-emergence of the mid-90s sound, Goldie and Fabio in particular have been moving away from the 1999-2020 screetchy sound, at least when i have seen them play live recently.

I would give the first 60 minutes of this set a chance.

On those last 3, made me think if this - one of my all time gems - rarely heard but known to those who know their tunes.

Masterpiece. Took me years to ID it and find it.

I knew this would happen. Going to try and stop now. Just opened a bottle of wine and sifting through my lesser knowns...

Some examples of how its turning back to the old skool sounds, Benny L is one of many current producers revitalizing old skool sounds and doing it very well.

Here are 3 modern day tunes that equal if not better the old skool vibe. All very true to the original but also authentic and original in their own right. Refreshing and far removed from the mess that came between 2010 and 2015.

Not sure if this counts (2000) but its a banger!


My inner teenager finally got a massive sub/amp in the car which made me very happy.
Then lockdown hit and i wasnt going anywhere so i tracked down a Logitech Z5500 for my office, which is also banging.
Also helps now my wife is not WFH

2000? Nah not for me, it was the start of the screetchy, screetchy tin Pan era where the producers took over from the DJs.

Discussions about when the 90s era of junglism ended is a four pint problem but I would offer one of the very last tunes was "Origin Unknown – Sound In Motion" from 1998 as cained by Brockie.

That's why I am bit enthusiastic about 2022 because they appear to be taking the Alex Reece 1994 sound and giving it a lick of paint.

Interesting!
One of my first dnb purchases was Alex Reece So far (94?) which i absolutely loved (and still do).
Then i got all trance-y and only came back to DnB recently so i've got a lot of catching up to do....but thats another thread i guess
