THE SOUND: JUNGLE & HARD DRUM + BASS

Mutant Sound System brings you Breakbeat Massive- A compendium of UK Jungle & Hard Drum + Bass. 11 tracks from the harder side of the Drum + Bass experience featuring DJ Crystl, Intawarriors (aka Grooverider), DJ Trace, and more.

Jungle and its alter-ego Drum + Bass are wildly popular in the UK and Europe but still considered an emerging art form Stateside. The sound features beats that come in at around 170 bpm (as opposed to House music with a more subdued 125 bpm) in juxtaposition with half speed bass lines. Complex rhythms and sped up hip-hop style breakbeats coupled with sparse vocal arrangements create a trippy, jazzy groove. It sounds quite unlike anything else and is having a profound influence on pop music, sprinkled throughout new albums by U2, David Bowie, Bjork, and Everything But The Girl, to name a few. Breakbeat Massive- massive breakbeats for the masses.
