Tonight I face man's ultimate fear, to have been replaced by a machine. Producer and drummer kWeRk creates sound like the below, but tonight he's opted for a more leftfield approach to Djing and has collated his most loved drum n bass and jungle tunes, with dub on the fringe, and handed over to a computer to present. Let's benefit from his specialism then even if he does sound like Stephen Hawking...A socio-musical history of Jungle, with particular focus on the confluence of Reggae Sound Systems arriving in London from Jamaica as a result of post-colonial migration to Britain. Also in the mix are elements of the rave/illegal party scene of London in the late 80s/early 90s. WOHOO!
The Historical Narrative: from Ragga Jungle of London looking
forward; branching off into numerous tangents including DnB, and Dubstep, and looking back to where it came from (Reggae Sound Systems and illegal raves). In this mix, kWeRk illustrates the lineage and continuity from Ragga Jungle to Dubstep, but always maintaining Jungle as the main reference point. Reggae Sound Systems to Jungle Sound Systems (bass being a key unifying component), Jungle producers to Dubstep producers (some of whom have familial relationships, i.e father and son, older and younger brother), Jamaica to London. A musical genealogy of Jungle.
