Jungle |
AV |
Uptempo (i.e. 150-170 BPM), pointed, syncopated, and minimal. Typically comprised
of fast and frantic breakbeats, particularly the 'Amen break' - and frequently defined
by a lively, high-pass filtered, syncopated hi-hat and snare beat. Breakbeats are
varied by filtering and splicing over the course of a track's development, and are
often paired with a slower, syncopated, sine-wave reggae dub/dancehall influenced
bass line (i.e. a tuned 808 kick) rhythmically matched with a kick drum (i.e. often
a punchy, filtered acoustic kick drum sample). Emerged in urban England in the 1990s.
Generally acknowledged to be the predecessor of drum n bass. The frequent use of ragga
and reggae vocals and jungle's tendency towards traditional groove-oriented breakbeats
differentiates it from drum n bass.
