In the early 1990s Jungle was on the rise in the UK. After initially emerging out of the postrave scene, Jungle quickly evolved, and by 1993 was now drawing on the slow, heavy basslines and Ragga vocals of Jamaican music. Whilst many would come to see this era as a short-lived phase in the evolution of Drum and Bass, this album counters this theory showing that the roots of Jungle started much further back - in the UK's vibrant Dancehall scene of the 1980s. SOUL JAZZ RECORDS' latest journey features all-time classic jungle anthems such as GENERAL LEVY's "Incredible" and UK APACHI AND SHY FX's "Original Nuttah" alongside some serious Ragga heavyweight tunes like CUTTY RANKS "Limb By Limb" and CONGO NATTY's classic re-make of BARRINGTON LEVY's "Under Me Sensi". The album tells the story of how Jungle developed out of acid house with roots in the UK Dancehall scene of the 80s.
