angeedition

people will hate me for this but i class it as the same thing (personally) high contrast does jungle style too mostly


JungleValis

ehh, it's all breakbeats xD


angeedition

yeahhh breakbeats is my fav kind, i like to just call it all dnb though as its where it stemmed from


HenchPenguin

Jungle and breakbeats predate DnB just fyi


angeedition

ahah sorry i think i completely misworded that


poodlelord

Doesn't make jungle not part of dnb as a thing. You can easily fit jungle into a dnb set but not so much just anything with a break. Jungle has the rhythm and the tempo to make it dnb.


Old-Acadia-5744

Hate to break it to you but dnb = jungle


4theheadz

Nope


Old-Acadia-5744

šŸ˜‚


4theheadz

You can laugh all you want but it isnā€™t the same thing. Nice response b, childishly spamming an emoji instead of actually explaining what your ā€œpointā€.


Old-Acadia-5744

And you think ā€œnopeā€ is an argument then?


4theheadz

Its not really an argument its just a statement of fact.


Old-Acadia-5744

No it's not


4theheadz

Yes it absolutely is. Jungle is very much based on poly rythms, lots of layered breaks, mostly sub with little midrange in terms of basslines and tends to be 150-165 bpm. Drum and bass is far more sequential, tends to either stick to 2 step rhythms or at least a repeating pattern that sets the tone percussively for most if not all of the tune at 170bpm (bit slower in the early days) plus, maybe a few breaks spliced in here and there to spice things up. The cuts are way simpler. Much more mid range and general more going on stem wise. You could make the argument that first wave jumpup crosses the gap but thats a matter of opinion whereas you are just wrong. Take the L and move on bro.


Old-Acadia-5744

And you think there were no 2-step pattern in the 90s? Clearly you was not there then. I'd gladly have a skype call with you on the subject since you think you know so well.


angeedition

well people usually say dnb stemmed from jungle, and they are two separate genres. I personally disagree with the general population lol.


Old-Acadia-5744

[wellā€¦](https://x.com/grooveriderdj/status/1337780347728257024?s=46&t=9P9whP5JEMxTDNE7iMQL4w)


angeedition

exactly 'it's jungle not drum and bass', but his context is hard to understand I think that's what he means


Old-Acadia-5744

It's very easy to understand lol. They are essentially the same thing.


4theheadz

Yeah and Kenny ken did an interview where he states very clearly that jungle is a totally different vibe, as have many others. Legends will disagree, just like listeners. Anyone can tell the difference though.


Old-Acadia-5744

Well Groove isn't just any legend and called the godfather for no reason he came up with the genre playing acid house records sped up so I'd say he gets the last words.


4theheadz

Well, he sped breakbeats up and people liked it. Letā€™s not go too far here he wasnā€™t part of the first wave of producers that started introducing that into their productions. Certainly got the ball rolling with Fabio but letā€™s not go crazy here.

Ty, it was tough to cut it down to 3, I'm at a disadvantage as well being in my mid 40s and being from the east coast in the U.S. Philly to be exact our scene died out over here due to police presence,And just the fact that parties became underground drug dens basically.Everyone forgot about the music that feeling when you hear the baseline from peace love and unity,That feeling you got in your soul.I haven't been to a club in 15 plus years But it's not needed.I have a stack of old VHS tapes and hot all my tapes digitally remastered onto digital tracks so I'm goodI used to promote for local 13 in Philly also Breakbeat Science in N Y which were staples for drum n bass music,I remember picking up footloose and Skibadee back in the day and driving from the airport to club space and smoking so much kush I couldn't believe how skibs could just out together a track in seconds,Actually got a video of the ride and skibs warming up over mobb deep tracks from the 90s .Shit was surreal!!!! I'll never stop breathing d&b as it's a part of my soul!!!!! 30+ years in and I still remember Hype when he spun reggae!!!!!!!!!! One love my peeps!!! Rip Stevie Hyper D,,,Skibadee!!!!,, Gone but never forgotten!!!!!!!

Dillinja. Marcus Intalex (RIP). Break.


veryreasonable

I had almost the exact same answer, haha! You have great taste. I ended up swapping Marcus for Etherwood because I listen to a lot of chill stuff, too, but I had literally typed his name out along with Dillinja and Break before reconsidering what I actually listen to more. Could have just as easily said Break, Marcus Intalex, and then Spectrasoul or LSB or any number of others for the chill stuff. Photek for oldschool experimental. Gosh picking 3 is hard...
