The History of Jungle Electronic Music: a blog about the history behind jungle music.
Jungle Electronic Music is one of the oldest forms of electronic music still around today, but not many people know this. Jungle was originally called Jungle House, but because it had so many different sounds and was so fast paced, they changed the name to Jungle. It is thought that the name Jungle comes from the sound that it has in it, as it has a lot of animal sounding drums and such. Jungle is also known as Drum & Bass in some parts of the world.
Jungle was first created by people who lived in cities in England, and was a type of music that was played at parties where people would dance all night long. The first jungle record that came out was called “Jungle House” and it came out in 1988 by an artist named Ragga Rob. The second one came out in 1990 by an artist named A Guy Called Gerald and was called “Voodoo Ray”, this became very popular at clubs around London and then other cities. The next few years many other artists released records for jungle including artists like Goldie, Roni Size & Krust as well as others from America like The Prodigy (with their album Music For The Jilted Generation)

Jungle is a genre of electronic music that developed in England in the early 1990s. With roots in the UK rave scene and Jamaican dancehall, it is generally characterised by fast tempos (around 160-180 bpm), breakbeats, and heavy bass lines. The genre is usually considered to have emerged and gained mainstream traction between 1992 and 1994 on the back of a number of crossover hits from artists such as DJ Hype and LTJ Bukem. Jungle spawned the subgenres drum ‘n’ bass, breakcore, hardcore jungle, darkcore (or darkstep), hardstep, ragga jungle and neurofunk.
The genre has been described as “the most significant development in contemporary dance music since house.” Jungle often uses a lot of samples from movies or other sources, both spoken word samples (“soundbites”) and sampled musical instruments. Many producers also use synthesizers to create instrument sounds that are not found in samples or to create new sounds altogether. Some of these synthesizers include the Fender Rhodes electric piano, the Yamaha DX7 keyboard synthesizer, the ARP Odyssey analog synthesizer, Moog synthesizers (including the Minimoog) and various samplers including E-mu Systems Emulator and Akai
