Now this man has taste in music!!!!!!

 

All just seems like yesterday when I was using the Juno 106, S900, DW8000, & Atari 520 or 1040!
And I still have Liam Prodigy's preferred model, the W-30, with all my disc collection! Contrary to what matey in vid said, it was the sound of the W-30 that Liam liked. I think it was 16bit sample, 12bit playback.
That's why he bought loads of them.
I used to love sequencing on the W-30, but now it gives me nightmares to think about it!
Looked like that tracker!
Once, I was up all night working on something and went to turn it off as I realised I had forget to save the track to floppy! So I had to stand there with my finger holding the power button from coming out and turning off, until my flatmate woke up for work and could get me a floppy disc from a few feet away!

 

This music remembers me some old memories,when I was a teen in 90's and I listened this music for the first time in illegal freeparties in dark warehouses,everybody under acid.The main dancefloor was hardcore +200bpm and in another little room there was a 'chill-out' with jungle music.That was powerfull,unforgettable!

 

Thanks for the nostalgia trip, the early 90's scene was amazing before it became mainstream (and legal). So many happy faces bouncing around warehouses at 5am dancing to the beat of Jungle, Hardcore, Acid House while munching on E or coming up on a trip.

then jungle went darker, eventually morphing in to what we now call drum and bass

 

yes it was amazing before jungle became commercial dnb and before the plugins came out.These old samplers were magic.That would be awesome if one could resurrect EMU and make a sampler with today's workflow (dedicated plugin editor) but with the original sound.Instant buy for me.

 

another classic...

 

Jungle originated in the UK, how far across the pond did it reach back in the 90s?

look how many styles uk brought to the table apart from 4*4
bristol such a cool city

 

one of the best one of the not so played till dead ones

 

Jungle was just electronic funk beat (main types of tracks were: dark electronic or cheesy piano+happy synths, or sampled jazz, or sampled reggae, or ambient synths with "whale" sound effect)...
Jungle is popular again in UK (or at least it was before the covid... ) I don't like how people replicate it by buying old gear and creating parody of an old age (of course, there are always some good pastiche tracks, but most of them are always crap).
Considering how many funky drum or loop libraries are out there it's not hard to come with something modern and original in the same old genre.

 

yep
