I'm not sure exactly how the term "jungle" first came
about. Here is a brief little history of some of the
early days. I don't know how accurate it is.
________
Although the Rave scene was in no way racist, black
people didn't feel they had that much allegiance to
it, there was no traditional reggae or ragga in Rave.
Although House and Techno had their origins in Black
music, it was now now seen as a global, multi-cultural
music. To redress the balance, East London based,
Ibiza records starting fusing hiphop beats and the
reggae culture with House and Techno to produce a
brand new sound, which they called Jungle.
UK Hardcore
'91 saw the birth of UK Hardcore, this was the next
installment in the History of jungle. Sped up HipHop
breaks, with harder, more menacing sounds
characterised the genre.
Ragga
This form of Jungle was one of the first styles to be
commonly known. It began after the Rave scene but was
used by many DJ's who began to experiment with this
genre of music. The results were phenominal and
everyone was taken aback by the impact it had on the
progression from rave to Jungle.
Jungle
There are many genres belonging to the Jungle
classification of music and everyone of these genres
represents an evolutionary process in which Jungle was
allowed to grow and develop as to the speed and
requirements of those who were creating it.
