Dissensus Jungle Poll - the next 165

And here are the next 164 or so tunes that to me make up the Jungle Canon (while not being anywhere near complete of course)

With this lot been less strict about straying earlier than the 93/94/95 parameters

there are definitely '92 tracks that are already junglistic in vybe

(also might have few '96 tunes in there as well, blurring the other temporal boundary set up - for understandable reasons I think - by Sadmanbarty. Although for me personally ' 96 while definitely a drum & bass rather than jungle era, was still a firing year, with tons of great stuff - jump up, techstep and even a few late-phase slinky and glowing "intelligent" tunes of note. '97 is when things start to feel a bit "cold" - as in frigid, as in "leave me...")

the labrynth of memory

Cheers to Thomas H. Green for alerting me to the existence of this book - The Love Dove Generation by Billy 'Daniel' Bunter

On a skim it looks to be an entertaining romp through the pills 'n' thrills 'n' brain-aches of being a leading Labrynth deejay - as well as name on flyers for similar/rival raves like Double Dipped at Bagleys, Telepathy, etc.

UFO sightings also figure in the story.

Ooh gosh - the Labrynth. A name that sets me adrift on memorE bliss...  The Labrynth garden. That tunnel-like corridor with trippy artwork on the sides. The odd little grotto-like chambers further and deeper in, perhaps playing things like trance. The upstairs - boring house music - room that we only ever bothered with once. And the main room, for the ardkore: dark, rammed, jostling, no focal point (you couldn't see where the DJ was, the booth tucked away somewhere), Instead,  facing the dancefloor, there'd be a row of ravers on an elevated stage-like thing. The layout of the room made the crowd into the star - forced the audience to spectate upon itself. 

When I went out to interview Labrynth founder Joe Wieczorek for Energy Flash, in '96 or '97, that was the first time I’d been to Dalston in daylight.  He showed me around  the club - there was a whole lot more to the premises and surrounding buildings than most punters ever saw. It was like an underground warren. Joe pulled aside a sheet of tarpaulin covering what looked like construction and suddenly we were entering an abandoned Victorian-era theatre - plushness gone shabby, complete with the sloping floor down to where the orchestra pit would  have been at the foot of the stage, and - I think - a balcony too.  Too decrepit to be refurbished, Joe said. At that time Labrynth was having to move out of its original Four Aces premises and into some other large chamber within this complex of rooms and passages.

At that point I don't think I was fully aware of what The Four Aces had been - i.e. the reggae club where Don Letts had taken Johnny Rotten for initiating roots 'n' dub experiences. Later, that fact seemed to make a lovely symbolic loop in my life as PiLhead - postpunk to jungle,  bass to bass.

"Vowels of the Nuum"

L. J. Keys Vowels Of The 'Nuum

A black, E white, I red, U green, O blue: Numian vowels,

I shall tell how you were delivered from London bowels:

A – 'Ardcore – Apache acetate and blazing black of brigands caps; roisterous Cockney acksent drops the first letter with an electric nite krash; undulating like a ringing bell – the KO blow from the hammer-handed Ghost.

E – Eskibeat – Alaskan igloos & Aleutian alabaster; E3 rox, the face of Big Ben's clock, rushed dances & pressed socks; D.E.E. – its Guthrie, Kat its Diddley, Dizzee its Gillespie; the Pleistocene beetlebum, morainic dung – 8 bars its hum.

I – IDM – Mortal wounds & Burton's bleeding bark, the gums of Shoreditch sharks; nemesis of fwd>> thinking – stave off with a staff; baneful 'bass' entranceng progenitors down dead-out paths.

U – UKG – Genesis from across the Viridian seas; that of Colonial envy, two parents – but only one seen; Orijinal Bashment Dean – distanced itself from the raw breed; a victim of its own greed.

O – Oldschool Jungle – O Cerulean Caesar of London! Lord of us all! Rolling pure & breaking clean; matched together with bucolic birch spawns the hidden yellow D – the bona fide disciple of Junglix stylee.

oh my desire

Feel the Energy

Let's Go

Foul Play miscellania

and I thought I knew / had everything by Foul Play

possibly do have this - somewhere - but forgotten its existence:



starts well - but goes a bit soggy in the middle beat-less section - still good to know / have

not everything John + Steve(s) touched was golden

generally their remixes are among the very greatest things in all of jungle / D&B, but there's a few are just decent




now i didn't know of the existence of this track "Neuro Pressure"  so i can honestly say that it didn't influence me coming up with the term neurofunk...



... although it certainly sounds like neurofunk

the flipside still in the chillage zone



after Loop, anything with "Black Sun" as a title gets my interest up...



this is pretty good, a bit Dom & Roland-y, not much to hang onto aurally - amorphous noir atmospherics

postscript

couple of others suggested by Droid




i remember that Cutting Edge comp CD and being a bit disappointed by it - feeling it weren't that cutting edge  really - do like the title "Steppers Opera"  by Omni Trio

this tune's pretty good though, got the metallic scuttling scrape-ity breaks - like an egg whisk inside a wok - and then some woody-plinky good xylo-bass

Ah yes and I do remember this other Droid suggestion

(fine) art-core

absolutely roll(ers)ing

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

fellow travellers on the "smoov along now" path to blanched blandness

but here at just the right equipoise of chilled frenzy



slightly ruffer original

absolutely polling

last few days to vote in the Dissensus Jungle poll


Poll organiser Sadmanbarty dropping science on the difference between ardkore and jungle:


Tempo- Jungle's at 160 + whereas hardcore is slower.

Jungle tends to deviate from snare emphasis on the 2 and 4. 

Hardcore uses staccato riffs

Hardcore tends to loop a break in whole bar loops. Jungle chops those breaks up, uses multiple breaks, pitchshift etc.

Not so much chipmunk vocals, mentasm or italo-piano in jungle

I'd also add that low bass is more important in jungle than hardcore. There are a lot of hardcore tracks that don't feature really low bass. This is rare in jungle. 

808 boom bass is very common in jungle and not in hardcore. On the other hand digi-dub bass (reggae bass lines played with synthesised sine waves) are common in hardcore, but rare in jungle.

It's  a blurry line though isn't it

^^^^^^^^^

Some things I should have put in my ballot, which stretched the rules by going to 102 selektions

i think it's the remix I preferred / bought

I'd eliminated this one, thinking it was 1996 (the year span is supposed to be 93/94/95), but in fact it qualifies. 

not quite so keen on this continuation of da vybe



love this though - absolutely ripplin'




don't recall ever hearing this tango remix of expressions



there was a period when every Moving Shadow release had bongos and sort of jazzual bass with a played feel to it



but we've strayed far far from jungle here haven't we? 

time to come correct









superpod = dolphin reference, no? one for Lieven Martens! (any relation to Doc?)






those last five are all things that didn't make my cut

can you believe that? a genre so great that those tunes aren't even in the top 102?
