i wasn't able to use my S3000xl for a month due to the audio cutting out after i installed the EB16. i installed a new main board and now it's good as new, so here is a little victory lap to celebrate its glorious return. all sounds are from the S3K and RM1x.
I'll start by saying I'm not a producer, engineer or DJ so my knowledge or vocabulary of how Jungle tunes are made may not be correct...
...BUT, I'm hoping people get the general gist of what I'm asking:
Modern Jungle sounds very clean, clear and 'perfect' (this is not a complaint exactly). I suppose because it is created digitally(?).
Old School Jungle by contrast often sounds a little rougher or muddier.
Even when compositionally a Modern track has all the quirks/sounds of an Old School 90s classic, the 'cleanness' instantly makes it obvious that it's made in the 2020s.
The best example of this is DJ Hybrid's ALL OVER ME: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyYDmuMnQVY
It has all the hallmarks of an old school jungle track (minimalist soundscape, police siren samples, repeating vocal line, classic amens, etc) and yet you can just tell it's a modern track because it's almost robotically perfect and clear.
So, I guess my question is:
>Why can't 'modern' production software convincingly re-create the 90s jungle sound?
Is it because modern audiences / producers / tastes don't want or like the slight muddiness* of an old school Jungle track?
*Muddiness, grittiness, darkness, etc - not sure the right word...but hopefully y'all know what I mean! :)
@midnightspinnaz on ig more coming!
How do ypu mix tracks that analyse at 107bpm with the usual 160bpm? Is the 107 a glitch or is it because of the drum patterns
I recorded a mix of the 9 releases put out by Moving Shadow back in 1994, 2 different artists on each 12". I used to think of these as Moving Shadows version of the 'Enforcers' giving the artists license to do something maybe slightly different.

Hello! I’m currently a third year sociology student completing my dissertation which will be about the decline of UK nightlife. As part of this i’m doing 2 mini docs, and one of these I will be using Jungle as a case study to demonstrate the cultural and social importance of nightlife.
I would absolutely love and appreciate the opinion from OG UK ravers, from any scene but jungle would be most helpful.
So my questions are… (feel free to answer as many as you like or none! or simply throw in any memories in the comments!)
What did raves mean to you back then, was community a big aspect?
Is it different to what raves mean/are now?
How did Jungle change the scene? Would you say it diversified the dance floor?
What did it mean to youth identity?
Was it all as exciting and amazing as it looked?!!
Thank you so much, any answers or any stories would be a huuuge help <3
Or even any footage I could include!

I have not been able to get over this track since it released! The melodies, the constant switches and the trippy vocals. I wish there was a whole LP with tunes like this one. I didn't see a thread for this tune and thought it deserves appreciation even though Tim Reaper is well known. This is a special masterpiece to me and maybe my top jungle tune at the moment. Thank you Mr Reaper for this one!!! Gets me dancing at work and hyping up my coworkers haha. I hope the Future Retro hiatus ends and brings us many more tunes from Tim, Kid Lib, Sully, Phineus II, even though weve been already blessed with tunes for days. I can't get enough, this shit makes life worth living! Masterclass here. I also hope to figure out how to get vocals on my tunes like this. Very tasteful.
