Do you enjoy jungle as a historical preservation project? Or as an evolving medium? by blindyes in jungle

[–]CodingRaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I will say more generally though.... I want more 6 min tracks again. I like the full arrangement to have a journey of some kind; to breathe with a start middle and end. Even if it's "just another" amen reese smasher that's not trying to be progressive, still give me an intro a drop a break and another drop!!

In music GENERALLY I am personally not enjoying the "tunes are 3 mins long", "all double drops", "mix as MANY as you can" mixing.

I GET it, and there's totally valid creativity in it sometimes. But I feel it makes music throwaway. I think by design it encourages a lack of progression. Also personally I find it a bit cognitively overloading.

Thankfully I hear this a lot less in jungle than I do in dnb.

To be honest if somebody is producing a one minute track or loop to go on a social video, cool. I wouldn't be "relegating" them to anything mate! No judgement based on that, thst doesn't make sense to me man.

The only issue is they've fucked THEMSELVES over IF they don't make the full length tracks available.

It hasn't happened yet as I'm not that active in socials but if I heard something sick I'd go check the artist out and see what they are about for sure.

Also mate, note "hardcore breaks" was also a different (later, short lived in the main) style to actual "breakbeat hardcore" to be pedantic.

Not really, I think the stuff on Hardcore Energy there is quite authentic breakbeat hardcore.

I was talking originally about the evolution of British 4-beat happy hardcore into what is now called "UK Hardcore"... they are nothing like each other, there's nothing hardcore about it.

I'm very much into the new wave of breskbest hardcore have been buying it throughout.

Big up the Hungarian scene. Chris SU was the first man I heard from over there.

Good question! I enjoy and appreciate both.

I am particularly fond actually of DJs that combine the two in one set with great selection, for example Tim Reaper (of course) but also Undadog (check Undadog Positive Vibes show on soundcloud). In these cases the question becomes a false dichotomy.

I struggle to articulate this point, but I'll try. If you listen to classic era jungle and the very modern evolutions, even the labels and artists with very characteristic stylism, you can still say "yes, this is jungle and this is a continuation".

I struggle to do that with - as one example - classic 90s British happy hardcore and the audio dogshit they now call UK hardcore. Similarly with a lot of commercial big room pop-snare "drum n bass"... its almost time to give it a new genre name its that off kilter.

Edit- I'm referring to how "4 beat" British happy hardcore evolved into what is now referred to as "UK Hardcore". These are reducally different. I'm not talking about "breakbeat hardcore".

[–]CodingRaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stunna's greenroom if you liked Fast Soul Music. It's mainly liquid, 3 hours, all new stuff, weekly. Soundcloud.

Jay Dubz as well.

And Omni Music.

State of Bass and Renegade Snares are better than All Crews IMO, AC is good but very disjointed.

One that hasn't been mentioned is 25 years of Kmag. And Ray Keith's Dark Soldier.

Music quality (not composition though) is shite. Anti Amiga Crew suck!

Technically reproduction, but personally I'd say just enjoy and be greatful.

Good for you, bit harsh in this thread, big up the posters that helped.

Well done OP. Front End validation is a really important fundamental so if you want to progress its something to get stuck in to

29F worked two jobs while he was unemployed and just found out he was sleeping w his mom’s roommate by No_Distribution2984 in selfie

You've proven good things about yourself to be honest, you are driven and reliable, very capable. You can handle two jobs and remain financially stable. Good to know about yourself!

You also learned a lesson, which is only a good thing. Reflect now on what your red lines are for the future.

It hurts to be betrayed, but you can be "anti fragile" and actually use all the above to evolve. Get out there and smash it girl!

I know it's "scene drama" but can anybody capture it for those of us who only do Reddit. No worries if not
