>Jungle (not "drum and bass") first showed up in San Francisco in the late spring of 1994.
Jesus, I wish we could have avoided it for that long over here. Still never mind, it's gone now, all of them make garage instead........ Funny how all the hardcore producers I ever knew went from sampling kiddies records and speeding them up so they sounded ridiculous, to instant credibility by making 'jungle'.(which of course was the product of creative thinking by 2 or 3 individuals, readily copied by all). It's weird, lots of kids I know and used to know are so called big names on this scene. I remember what they were into at school, and it wasn't music, that's for sure. Now they're all into making garage and drinking Cristal.... Before everybody shouts, I know there's a few obvious exceptions to this, but believe me, not many. I never understood foreigners love of 'jungle'. F***ing whack s**t made by talentless individuals who's f**king mam and dad bought them a sampler for their 17th birthday, either that or they'd sold enough e's to get one, or sold their souped-up XR3i when they realised you could make a few quid out of sampling the magic frigging roundabout. Anyway, I guess the grass is always greener etc.. Rant over, morning all. Nice day innit? _________________________________________________________________ The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
