WELCOME TO THE JUNGLIST MASSIVE, WE'VE GOT FUN N GAMES: 2017 Rolling Drum and Bass/Jungle/Liquid/Neurofunk/170

Looking forward to the dgoHn mix, I always liked his tracks

'drumfunk' has got to be one of the stupidest things ever, but it's a really cool mix.

You just mean the name?

This mix is super nostalgic for me, around '04 - '08 I used to listen to loads of this style, and the first tracks I made on the computer sounded a whole lot like it.

what's so bad about "drumfunk"

Yeah, just the name.

It never bothered me, although I don't think music at this tempo is "funky" per se. Maybe drumcore, or better yet...break...core?

Yeah, there's just way too many names for jungle already. I was being hyperbolic, though, nothing can be as bad as 'neurofunk'. Still. 'Drumfunk?'

Nice to hear something new school acknowledging the past without descending into Chase and Status level of shiteness

Lovely loping groove on this

Not dnb but a dnb producer so putting it here. This is fucking unreal

Oh dear too much Cabernet Sauvignon tonight

This is a great record. Peak era Wax Doctor meets Non-Amen Source Direct. Epic, widescreen and edited to fuck

Another week, another sparkling LP, this time from Skeptical on Exit

New OneMind album is tremendous. Like if Photek has made an entire album of tunes like “Rings Around Saturn”.

Very sad news about longtime don and Metalheadz alumni, Spirit

This just came out last week and it’s lovely, still totally on point:

i've still got to check out that onemind album

the new kid lib is beautiful

Yes, it’s basically Shadowboxing but this is a destroyer

https://youtu.be/uxIUvvbzE0E

nice! that twisting bassline reminds me of 90s tech itch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn97WwaRcI0

also cannot get enough of this HOJO CLAN label and their low-slung, droning halfstep

their newest EP, the WHITE GORILLA CULT EP is an absolute destroyer

Digging this, thanks

Generation 3 EP by Commix. One of the most complete dnb EPs I’ve heard in forever. 4 varied tracks, all excellent but this is a belter. Slight vibes of Commix’s own “Emily’s Smile” and the long forgotten “Future Realities Part 2” by Dave Wallace.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N4kqVWkkB1U

commix vs fabric is easily one of my favourite of the series.
something is clearly in the air.
2 major label d-n-b cds from years ago that a few months back were available via amazon market for pocket money have now jumped up massively in price.

That Shikem Hanzo White Gorilla cult upthread was a great shout, thanks! This is the same dude

Here’s a fucking banger from ilx’s most unfashionable genre

Best new jungle I've heard in forever:

I don't have specialist ears for this kind of music, but the following comp demanded a Top Ten slot this year:

Black Riot
Early Jungle, Rave and Hardcore
Soul Jazz Records
...Featuring classic and seminal tracks from the likes of Levictus and Krome &Time, alongside a host of rare and little-known ragga & junglist hardcore tunes from the likes of Babylon Timewarp’s hypnotic Durban Poison, Rhythm for Reasons’ mad ‘The Smokers Rhythm’, The Freaky rave-y breakbeat sound of ‘Time and Age,’ Trip One’s super dark ‘Snowball’ and loads more!

Expect super heavy basslines, equally heavy twisted Amen drum loops, even heavier ragga vocals! Original jungle style - roots and culture - from the earliest days of drum and bass.

Included with the album is a free limited-edition graphic mini-novel “Black Riot: The Mysterons save Planet Earth from the Xatheroid Angels.” This is the third collaboration between Soul Jazz Records and writer/illustrator Paulo Parisi, the highly respected author of graphic books on Jean Michel Basquiat and John Coltrane.

This new graphic story continues the story of black electronic dance music – this time set around the birth of Jungle and continues onwards from Soul Jazz’s earlier ‘Invasion of the Killer Mysterons’ (Jamaican electronic Dub, co-compiled by Kevin Martin (The Bug)) and Mysterons Invade the Jackin’ Zone (about Chicago Acid & Experimental House).

I'm enjoying those ASC tracks, but d&b tracks are so long, lol. I checked the clock after listening for over 20 min...still only on track 3. I seriously don't understand why they need to be 7+ min.

Yeah, the album is always a little longer than I expect it to be; otoh I listened the EP (which came out first) a lot, and I always wanted it to be longer.

god help me I enjoy this:

That Black Riot comp sounds amazing from the clips

Yeah, whole thing's great on YouTube.

From 2018 but this EP is great:

this “aphrodite dub” is really cool imo, from Jonny Reebok:

https://jonnyreebok.bandcamp.com/album/aphrodite-dub-ghost-town-riddim

speaking of 2018 I love this coco bryce track

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sf7_1cPLLc

Yessss! I'm a little taken aback this thread even exists, I didn't realize there were fans at all here.

I was going to point out the glaring omission of Tim Reaper so far but since we're on Coco Bryce do you know Ma Bae Be Luv (2020)?

Getting back to 2018:

Tim Reaper , Dwarde & Gand - Globex Corp Vol. 5 B1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMSOR4VJXe8

Wow, that's sick

xp, the Coco Bryce I mean

Here he is with some 'jungle-tech' (not so different at all from old school hardcore tbh). Some jungle-tech is undoubtedly much worse, but with higher bitrates than the old stuff at least.

Tim Reaper - Sequence 2 [2020]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmpPDHIKaFw

xp also

But yes, sick...in the head. Now it's got me wondering what kind of gear they're using? I'll have to try to find an interview after I root through this one and the club thread you just bumped, and which I was also shocked, yes shocked to discover.

*I do have to note that I would like to lodge an objection to the thread title here.

The Jonny Reebok is real nice too brimstead. At first I was like 'eh' and then I was like 'yeah'!

heck yeah I love Tim reaper!
