...on PCP. Ambient d'n'b is a slightly anaemic subset of jungle - but
there are some fantastic choons within that style that can totally hold
their own.

I love aggressive jungle - remember Dillinja's early tracks? some of
them, like the seminal 'You Don't Know' are yet to be bettered in terms
of bass/breaks dynamics.Jungle runs at 180bpm and 90bpm for the most
part, but the best of the modern, acidic, fluttering oppressive jungle
seems to run faster, maybe at 120/240, which is cool. UK jungle (is
there any other serious contender?) has recently become almost anthemic
in its approach - big, bold, brash basslines combined with
super-confident mid-bass warbles and shrieks. Utterly fantastic.
Internal Bass, the label I run a web site for, have recently turned
there hand to d'n'b - Panama Reed's new album combines jazz and jungle,
and the details can be found at the usual place (Sound files soon...):
http://www.vivid-edge.co.uk/internalbass
Incidentally, Panama Reed name checks Dillinja as an influence...
But jazzy too, coz this is, after all, the acid-jazz list!
Cheers!
