Since Lennie De Ice “invented” jungle beats from the famous Winston Brothers’ “Amen Break” with ragga basslines in the late 1980s, jungle music has continued to develop and become an unstoppable force.

This British producer has succeeded in creating a new “foundation” in the world of electronic music. Starting from the UK, this genre produces many performers with their musical variations. Slowly, many styles of this music are added through the colors created by the junglist and bassheads all over the world. And it became a new culture on the dance floor!

Here’s a quick look at our notes for some of the drum’n’bass tracks on this one of our special edition article.
