I'd always been under the impression that Jungle came from the hardcore
breakbeat / rave scene in London around '89 '90 and was heavily influenced by
Londons Dub/Reggae scene. Indeed many of my "proto-jungle" records are from
this era and later. Tracks from the likes of 2 Bad Mice, The Ragga Twins, Acen,
Altern 8, Shut Up & Dance, Sonz of a Loop da Loop era, Lots of artist on XL
Recordings, Suburban Base etc
The Rotterdam sound I always associate with Happy Hardcore and Gabber...
could be wrong but that was always my take.
