The Junglist Index

Welcome. This web page is designed to function as an index, containing as many jungle/drum'n bass producers and labels, new and old, from the global scene as possible, as well as featuring various video documentaries from the 90s to now. Every artist and label you see here will have their respective links to their music, be it Bandcamp, Soundcloud, or Youtube page. More links will be added as the page goes on, so always check back to see the latest entry. The goal of this page is to provide the reader with some basic context and background information of every artist or label listed here. Given that this page is run by me and me ALONE, the rate of entries here will be much more slower. So if there's an artist or a label on that thread, that's not listed here, it's simply that i haven't gotten to them yet.

Thank you for visiting, and enjoy the tour!

Modern Jungle (Contemporary Artists & Labels)

Yeska Beatz - Created by BC Rydah in 2012. Based In California. The epitome of junglist gangsterisim. Always giving you the hardest ragga smashers of the scene with a strong hip hop influence, while also throwing in a little jungle footwork and atmosphreic vibes in the mix. Personal favorites listed here, check em out.

BC Rydah - Good friend of mine, releases some of the hardest ragga amen smashers i've heard from this era. But can also kick more of the atmospheric vibe, like on the Space Oddessy EP, released on Yeska. Check him out! Recommend checking out these releases:

Tim Reaper - No introduction needed. One of the biggest faces of 2010s junglism going as far back as 2010, and also featuring on Kid Lib and Mr. Sensi's Terrors Of The Jungle: Volume One. In terms of regional influence. He's put out tons of amazing work on UK jungle labels such as Future Retro London, Green Bay Wax, Amenology and plenty others. His 2015 album is great also, so make sure you give the man's catalog a thorough listen.

AMENFR001 (Split Release Between Amenolgy & Future Retro London)
Future Retro London - Label set up by Tim Reaper for showcasing the sounds of the "newskool" jungle scene. Various prominent junglists such as Loxy & Resound, Nebula, Ricky Force, Coco Bryce, and Kid Lib have all released on this label. I'd reconmmend looking into the label's "Meeting Of The Minds" series, as all the EPs contain tracks from various artists.
Ontology - Based in Nashville. Has two releases on Mediator Music and Yellow Jacket (Yeska Beatz Sub-Label). Very "old-school" flavor of jungle, given her use of 90s Akai Samplers such as the S2000, combined her heavy use of funk and soul samples. If you give her a listen, it is mandatory to give "Bust Up The Place" classic tune through and through. She's also apart of System Disk Crew, which is, as their soundcloud page description succintly describes: COLLABORATIVE JUNGLIST EFFORTS AGAINST "THE MAN" OR OPPOSING FORCES TRYNA FUCK WITH OUR GRIND.

Hear Me EP (2020)
Will Fujiwara - If you've been following for any amount of time. You know that i'll bring up Will Fujiwara in any recommendation of good jungle to someone. Based in Baton Rouge, closely tied to Yeska Beatz. Carries an extreme influence of 90s R&B, 70s soul, and contemporary hip hop, all at the same time. Can be ruff & intense but also every atmosphreic on some of his other cuts. All of his production has a very "new" sounding feel in the BEST way possible and there's always a certain distinct sheen on his tracks that marks his production skills. While his Fujiwara Blue album and Speed Limit EP are fantastic, you really should just listen to his singles on Soundcloud. They are just as good as his projects.

IJO (IJO Sound) - This producer has been around for a little longer, with his first release dating all the way back to the early 2000s (2003). He's from the Baltic region, being based in Klaipėda, Lithuania. He was more on the "clicks & pops" style of IDM (I'm using it as a general term, relax) and was active in the short period of the Drill N' Bass era of breakbeat music that spanned from late 90s - early 00s. However, his work in the 2010s, especially the LATE 10's, were more to the jungle sound that you would be familar with. His later work has element's of Source Direct, with heavy use of atmospheric synth patches and the Akai S1000, having two LPs dedicated to the sampler (Akai Tracks). If you give him a listen, put "Akai Tracks Volume 2" at the VERY top of your list. Great record containing more melodic moody aspects, but still bringing a rough edge to everything given the low sample rate processing from the sampler. Hell the first track is an amen rinse, you can't go wrong with that.

Scientific Wax - UK Drum & Bass label, originally set up by Paul Watson and Marlon Sterling aka Equinox. The label was re-launched in 2005 in conjunction with James Boyle (aka Breakage), but is now run by Marlon Sterling alone. This label specializes in the Drumfunk sound of the early to mid 00s that labels like Breakin, Bassbin, and Reinforced Records put out at the time. The releases on here (given the name) have a very atmosphreic and sci-fi influenced flavor to them. However, it still contains an intense edge, with plenty of amens sprinkled here and there. Definately check this one out.
- Dub-One - Drumfunk producer from Eastborne, UK. Oldest releases date back to 2007, has numerous releases on the Scientific Wax label.
B-Key - Jah Warrior (2017)
Nebula \ Reactiv - South London Nights VIP (2017)

Repertoire - Jungle / Drum and Bass label based in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. Est. 2009. Founded By The Law (Ricky Law) who's been producing since at least '09. This is a very diverse label, so sometimes it'll release material that's more on the mid 90s ambient jungle tip and sometimes it's more of the late 90s dnb stuff. Either way, it's good music through and through.
Basic Rhythm, Blood Trust - Blood Rhythm EP (2023)
Pugilst & Tamen - Casca EP (2021)
Law & Wheeler - Post-Truth EP (2020)
Poisonfrog - Head Over EP (2021)
Furthershore - Based in New Mexico and has been releasing since at least 2018. Furthershore's jungle takes a lot of inspiration from the internet scene of the genre with a strong liking for anime, late 90s/early 00s video games, and ambient pads. But he can also bring a strong R&B influence and even some hip hop into his tunes like the previously mentioned Will Fujiwara. He's been featured on the second and third Halloween-themed compilation albums released by the SCUMTAPES label, has collaborated with MOM$, and has released two EPs and a compilations album that consists of tunes made from 2018 - 2021.

Soeneido - Based in Oakland, California. This particular artists combines a specific flavor of thematic breakbeat that takes more inspiration from "retro-style" media like 80s cyberpunk, gundam anime, and japanese samurai films. He most definately has a distinct style and his EP "Deadly Venom Weapon" was one of my favorite releases from last year. His style ranges from Jungle Tekno, to Jungle, to D&B, and even some elements of Breakbeat Hardcore. Great stuff from this one all around. He's also released on a very new breakbeat label called "Heavy Sounds", being on the second EP of the label, and he featured on Ruff & Rugged Volume 3 from Yeska Beatz. His production involves heavy use of old-school equipment and software, such as the AkaiS5000 and 4 to 8 bit trackers such as OCTAMED and Protracker

In the mid-1990s, the Impostors promoted their 'Philosophy' jungle/DnB events in Essex, with DJs such as Grooverider, Randall, Hype, Rap, Andy C, Zinc, Jumping Jack Frost, Fabio, and more.

Most releases on this label are range from about 172 - 180 BPM, so if you like more of the faster stuff, this is a label that can scratch that itch.

M27 (M27 Hardcore Junglist) - Taken from his Discogs description: M27, From his background in Los Angeles hip-hop culture, fuses the skill set of a classic turntablist with his love of euphoric 90s rave music. With a selection of roots hardcore and jungle, he cuts, chops, and serves jungle breaks on a pair of classic technics turntables and Vestax battle mixer. M27 moved to the Bay Area in late 2011 after a long stint in Los Angeles working with Futurebound Radio and the Back to Basics jungle monthly. Based in Oakland, California, and has multiple releases on the Cali-based "In-N-Out-Jungle" label.

Kid Lib - Junglist Legend. Based in Sheffield, UK. Was very integral to the early 2010s jungle scene, but has been producing since at least 2006. Was one of the founders of Green Bay Wax, a label based around a collective of Jungle producers (Kid Lib, Percussive P, Tim Reaper, Dwarde & Mr. Sensi) & occasional guest producers and has released multiple albums, all released on his own self-titled label. A must-listen for anyone interested in the "golden era" sound.

STIM THEORY - Based in Glascow, United Kingdom. New producer who's earliest track on Soundcloud dates back 3 years ago. Definately on the more ambient side of things but he's just as capable of bringing the hard-hitting stuff.
Pineal Records & Pineal001 - Based in Highworth, UK. This is a new record label, VERY new. In fact, the owner/artist: EVADE, DMed me on Soundcloud to let me know the up and up. They just put out their first release, which stars Evade, Omnirhythm, Nickynutz, and a collaboration between Simply Dread & Duburban. This is a solid lineup of some pretty well known junglist from the UK/Eastern Europe area. It's a ragga heater through & through. The breaks are hard and intense and there's no shortage of dred basslines, reese basslines, and ragga/dub siren samples on these tracks, with my favorite being the track from NIckynutz. Despite that, the fourth track from Simpy Dread & Duburban has a strong 93 vibe with a strong emphasis on atmosphere. Think "On My Mind" by Safari Sounds. Keep an eye this label. I don't doubt for a second that it has more in store for the months to come.
Various Artists - Pineal001 (2023)
Fence - Based in Berlin, Germany. I came across this artist when Will Fujiwara reposted one of his tunes on Soundcloud. His EP "Homies" is a splendid blend of hip-hop and R&B, more akin to what the scene was like in the UK circa 94-95. The "Mediocrity EP" has a stronger atmosphereic influnce, but it's "hard atmosphereic" if that makes any sense. The first track hits you with some highly compressed amen goodness and the second one with some time-stretched sci-fi esque samples. Fence puts a strong emphasis on filter manipulation and EFX when it comes to his drum programming, and it makes for a strong contrast between his use of atmospheric pads and vocals. Definately check this guy out. His most recent release was on Soundcloud about two weeks ago so he's still putting out good stuff.
