Jungle was the first dance music I really got into, but I can't bare it anymore for longer than maybe 15 minutes.. a whole scene based on the same drum loop and ragga samples over and over again.. no thanks.

I love all styles of dance music. Its hard to pick a favourite. I certainly have massive love for jungle tho.

Really getting into it recently. Any current producers doing it in the '94 style? Love those constantly evolving drum patterns and subtle samples.

I love jungle, but I prefer the old school stuff anytime over the newer wave that's been mainly dominated by USA producers.
What you see happening now is a lot of unoriginal remixes of old school classics, which are pointless to me to be honest.
I remember for example, when 16 armed jack remix Dextrous' "King of the Jungle", and Dextrous informed about it.
New school heads on the rj forum were pretty defensive, even though Dextrous had not mentioned his intentions with the requested info on 16AJ.
People were wondering where D had gotten his samples (all samples except for the voice, so 16AJ DID get it from the Dextrous track), and some even didn't know what was happening, who Dextrous was.
imo new school jungle can be cool for a while but it's more "always the same".
drum patterns from certain producers are basically the same in each track, a lot of remixes of the same ragga tracks, and a lot of "strictly-ragga-samples" based tracks.
Wheras in old school I adore the odd quantity of sampled origins, the wider range of breakbeats used and the versatile amount of influences and productions.
Greensleeves ragga jungle is clearly not the same as Remarc choppage, which is pretty different from what Production House has brought out, etcetera.

as someone who's been on ragga-jungle.com for like 7-8 years now i can say that there was alot of formula going on with tunes in those days, and still is to some extent, but i think that was a symptom of people in the community wanting to recreate that sound that they loved so much, but not having the skills or the environment (1994-95) or the experience to really make remarc-level chopped out ragga tunes. some people (ahem) didnt find raggajungle til 2001..
but yeah, nowadays theres alot of jungle under the radar that really sounds like it never went away in the late 90s. producers who got bored of cookie cutter styles and have been going back to that dirty gutter sound

If you want something that sounds raw, go for Shitmat's new album One Foot In The Rave - he's completely left the whole gabber thing behind now (thank god) and is now exclusively banging out the crazy ragamuffin mashup junglism. Soundmurderer & SK-1 have made some good throwback records s well.

How could I forget Murderbot! It's all a bit tongue in cheek and a lot of fun (unlike most deebee you'll hear these days)
