And so we come full circle. Kind of a rarity around
here and a pleasure to witness.
StaticBeats DJ Justes Mix Sessions has been the #1
Jungle station on Live365 for the past 5 years -
http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/directory.cgi?genre=jungle.
Most of the mixes are from the late 90's and early
2000 when I was really into jungle and DnB. Some are
available for sale at BBB but all of them can be heard
on L365 for free.</bsp> Perhaps jungle has progressed
so little over the past few years that even mixes from
1998 sound like they were made today.
Where has the music gone since then? Not very far...
Some of the US labels like Breakbeat Science have put
out terrific releases by artists like Klute and the SF
bay area has a few diamonds in the rough like DJ
Abstract who consistently releases outstanding and
innovative music. I stopped buying jungle a while back
and have one last uncompleted mix I was working on but
the music just doesn't excite me anymore. I've tried
to approach my mixes from different angles to keep it
fresh but over the years the sound has all but ceased
its evolution.
The last jungle album that excited me was Venetian
Snares "Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett" and I'd
consider that more IDM than DnB. The last live jungle
act I saw was Roni Size and that was great. That was
over 4 years ago though..
A ramble perhaps. But I empathize with the original
poster as I used to be hugely into DnB/Jungle for a
number of years and I've all but given up on it for
lack of anything new.
