Various - JUNGLIST! Old Skool Ragga, D&B, and Jungle
Soul Jazz Records present Junglist!, a hard-hitting survey of original jungle from 1993–95, tracing the point where breakbeat science and reggae power fused into some of the genre’s most enduring tracks. The compilation brings together key producers including Krome & Time, M-Beat, Bizzy B, Lemon D, Top Cat, DJ Vern and DJ Ash, alongside heavyweight cuts from dancehall icons such as Cutty Ranks, Beenie Man, Josey Wales and Poison Chang. The set celebrates the raw energy of early jungle: rolling Amen breaks, seismic basslines and ragga vocals pushed into new territory. Among the rarities is Bizzy B & TDK’s sought-after Big Things, originally issued only on white label. Junglist! stands as a focused document of a scene hitting full stride, capturing the sound of UK rave culture moving at high velocity.
