about

In the 1990’s a uniquely English style of dance music began using a cappella vocal samples from reggae tunes, and the hit records of the UK’s leading reggae label, Fashion Records, were the most targeted by pioneering ‘jungle’ deejays and producers.

Jungle grew out of the burgeoning hardcore scene, and refined its hardcore roots with cut up drum breaks and heavy bass lines, along with familiar ragga vocals which were given new life thanks to the computer programmes and samplers being used in bedroom studios all over the land.

Fast forward 25 years and those reverberations are still being felt today - drum & bass, dubstep, hip hop, trap and almost any other sub-genre of what many now refer to as "bass music" has the DNA of reggae and dancehall running through it, so its only right to expect a little payback.

Music fanatic Jon Sheppard - owner of the NICE UP! label - brought new life to some of these legendary tracks by having modern day producers rework them in their own style and introduce them to a brand new audience.

From the frantic breakbeats of rave-revivalist Special Request and the bottom end sonics of Radio 1's Toddla T & Melé, to the modern minimalist dancehall-tech of Machinedrum and the digital dub drone of The Bug, there is plenty to get excited about here.

Poland's Radikal Guru serves up some classic dubstep, Germany's Jahtari crew take it back into 80s nostalgia with their 8-bit dancehall style, whilst modern reggae producers Wrongtom, Jstar and Mr Benn all show why they are on the forefront of the UK reggae revival.

The tempo gets upped for some heavier jungle inspired remixes from Aries & Gold Dubs, Serial Killaz and festival favourites Dub Pistols, giving a little bit of something for everybody.
