Subject: Jungle dancing 101 with Prof. MOONSTARR
Hey Carlos and Headz,
Jungle music is quick (160 beats per minute)... a hell-of-a-lot
quicker than
house which is around 120bpm. So to dance to jungle you have to be
on speed
or have a good ear. Here is my solution...
The next time you try to shake your rump to some breakbeats listen to the
beats.
You'll hear something like |boom|bip|boom|bip|boom|bip|
Process it like this |boom|...|boom|...|boom|...|
You'll find a Hip hop groove riding right underneath all that
chaos! And it
makes sense too cause 160bpm/2 = 80bpm. This is why I'm a jungle fanatic.
Disclaimer: However the drum n base I'm into does not survive off old/new
ganster rap imagry and it doesn't rely on fads or popularity to rock the
party (None of that biggie smalls vocal loop sh!t). So grabbing the
bozac or
gunshots in the air is not a recommended move on my junlge dance
floor. Hehe.
Hope this helps out. M o o n
