  • How to make jungle from the 90s. This music production tutorial breaks down the retro techniques of 90s jungle producers, such as how to chop drum breaks, using ambient pads and programming 808 and bass sounds. Jungle music precedes DnB and Breakcore. Video by Chris the Scientist.

      Ive been producing for almost 20 years, hip hop, metal, rock, edm, but I never tackled Jungle cause it's just the greatest and I didn't wanna fuck it up! but I think I'm finally ready! I grew up in Jamaica in the 90s so this sound really resonates with me! great tutorial, and I appreciate that you provided both samples and free vsts, really well made video, keep it up!

    Now I understand why one day in The Netherlands as a teenager I was playing around with my stereo, picked up a hard to detect AM frequency station from England with what I now know as Jungle, I had never heard of Jungle before and it blew my mind, it was mainly gabber and hardcore trance that was popular in NL. Now I understand what I picked up, it wasn't mainstream radio at all but likely some place perhaps even a ship broadcasting. Amazing. Thanks for sharing, I never would have known.

    True story: I`ve been in Tokyo for 24 years now and 4 years in I met this bloke from Leeds who was a diehard DnB fan. Showed me some tight shit to open my eyes when I was only spinning pure minimal techno. His name was Chris. He always had the fun. Hence, his nickname was Chris "the Pharmacist". Now that I am much older, and hopefully more mature, seeing Chris "the Scientist" break down more efficiently than the other Chris could have hoped, I am now thinking it was probably the drugs that messed with the comprehension/explanation aspect of it all. It is awesome to see a new generation find musical gold!!

    immediately before "jungle" there was a short lived genre called "ragga" (it lived around 2 years) . This was very similar in retrospect, but was solidly focused on the dub reggae influences and it was only when jungle exploded that people were allowed to step outside the rigid; chopped beats ,dub bass lines, some relentless MC chatting format, adding whatever other elements they wanted (e.g. the synth pads) and finally telling the MCs to shut up and let the music happen sometimes (progressively more & more). Jungle swamped its parent entirely- and Ragga was absorbed wholesale, rather than replaced.

      DJ Harmony (of Moving Shadow) fame launched a label called Deep Jungle in 2017 (I think) and Tim Reaper's Future Retro label is pushing a new era of jungle to new audiences. Deep Jungle was initially releasing previously unreleased 90s stuff off DATs people had laying around but then they started releasing newly produced jungle and Harmony's even been producing again. I've been a big jungle fan since I was about 20, although I was born 1990 so too young for jungle when it a new phenomenon.

      @@kill1nowzI’d recommend using an EQ that cuts out the super lows (everything below 30 hz) and the highs (anything above 7/8000 kHz) I then run that into a saturation plugin. A free one you can use is the Abletons stock saturator, remember to adjust this slightly as a little can make a big difference. I then also layer some kind of Tape saturation plugin at the end of the chain, this gives it that 90s grit.
      Also remember to EQ out a slight dip for when the kick drum of your drum break hits. This prevents muddiness and allows for a higher perceived level of loudness and clarity.
      Finally, after applying these steps don’t be afraid to turn the volume up on the Dredd bass. When I have it playing in this track it’s the loudest element. A way of checking this is by turning down your track super low, this bass should be one of the last things heard before you completely turn the volume off.
      Also these are the specific saturation and tape saturation plugins I used:
      Inphonik RX950 & the slate digital VTM tape machine. To get the inphonik to work, just push the input knob, then adjust the output to Match the previous volume.
      Hope this helps

    I really respect the clear reverance and knowledge you have about not just the genre, but the culture that spawned Jungle. Seen a lot of Americans simply just call it "PS1 music" which is where the sound ended up, but totally whitewashes its origins.

    • @nickwallette6201
      @nickwallette6201 Před 2 měsíci +2

      I have a hard time with stuff like this. I love that this video fills in some of the historical context. That just makes the whole culture of music richer, IMO, to understand more of its origins. OTOH, I really don't like when people imply (or outright claim) that the evolution, or even just the impact, of a genre of music is somehow a disservice.
      Music has always spread from place to place. It's how styles continue to innovate. In the 90s, I *loved* jungle and DnB. The heavy influence of many different flavors of electronica is also one of the things that makes the PlayStation one of my all-time favorite game consoles. (That, and the absolute treasure trove of superb games spanning the genres from racing to RPG.)
      It was a natural fit -- the PSX audio chip was basically a sampler, and had the same limitations that a sampler or early arranger/workstation keyboard from that era would've had. Namely, limited memory to store samples, and a handful of effects that could be pulled off in real-time. It was the same motivation that littered the Amiga and PC MOD scene with techno. You just couldn't write a song with convincing samples of organic instruments because the waveforms were too complex, and too long, and therefore took too much space. Also, it was arguably the first time a games console targeted a demographic that would've been at the right age to appreciate that kind of music.
      The result was that this "underground" music style was made available to a whole generation of young adults, who spent time listening to it out of obligation (it's just what was playing behind the game), and in turn, developed a taste for it.
      Maybe some people think that makes it "less pure" that more people like it. Those people are called snobs. Maybe some other people feel the composers of those soundtracks had no right, as they were just kids from the UK and Japan (the primary hotbeds for game development at the time), and so it's yet another case of "appropriation." Ugh.. As if anyone is born superior. We're all dropped here on the planet, a citizen of any given nation by happenstance. We didn't choose it, we didn't earn it. We are what we are out of pure dumb luck. And to think that we would rob anyone of the chance to contribute their ideas to a genre they're passionate about, over something as trivial as their postal code...
      I am thankful for the changing of hands that music has been through. I feel we've benefited from it greatly. Make no mistake -- there have surely been some atrocious acts of theft that have left a scar on history. Heck, the entire music industry is a mob. But a guy sitting in front of a computer contributing a track to the Wipeout XL soundtrack isn't that, and it's utterly unfair to hold them accountable for the sins of others. It's not their fault that some 13-year-old didn't know the whole history of sound systems when they were bobbing their head to The Prodigy. IMO, if that disconnect makes you uncomfortable, educate. Yourself or someone else -- doesn't matter. Don't just complain that some kid liked music that didn't belong to them. Fill in the gap. The DJs spinning vinyl in Jamaica didn't come up with that stuff in a vacuum either. Nobody does. It's been a cooperative effort since the beginning of time. Few things unite people like music, and it's such a waste to try and contain it when we could be using it as a means to foster respect for each other.
      Maybe that's not what the OP was saying at all, and I'm preaching a sermon to nobody here. I actually hope that's the case. But regardless, having someone refer to jungle as "PS1 music" sounds like an opportunity to expand someone's horizons.
