Jungle

Jungle: 77 upcoming festivals, including 24 with tickets on sale.

Jungle is a high-energy electronic music genre characterized by rapid, syncopated breakbeats, often pitched up and layered, creating a dense, percussive soundscape underpinned by deep reggae and dub-influenced basslines and atmospheric pads. Emerging from the UK rave scene in the early 1990s, it evolved from hardcore techno, incorporating elements of reggae, dancehall, and hip-hop, reflecting the diverse cultural landscape of its urban origins. Pioneering artists like Goldie, A Guy Called Gerald, and Roni Size were instrumental in shaping its distinctive sound. Its innovative use of sampling and breakbeat manipulation significantly influenced subsequent electronic music genres, particularly drum and bass.
