yea man its so good the piano

[@iampoweredup]

That’s a ride cymbal

[@pudsla9427]

Something about the sound feels more ethereal from this era. The piano and ambient pads compliment the drums perfectly. It speaks to me in a way that a lot of other dnb and jungle doesn't, even after having listened to this genre for a long time. The 90s really did carry the essence of this genre. The evolution of jungle to the present day has still been very enjoyable, but the sound of this era cannot be replicated it's beautiful!!

[@yakoba932]

Heard this tune for the first time in London 2019 (Kemistry remembered 20th anniversary).. We came all the way from the Netherlands just for this party. We were walking out the room for a smoke when this one pulled off, ran instantly back with goosebumps. Absolute gem that can’t get old 😄

[@933r7]

Agree. When I first heard jungle/d'n'b as a teenager in the 90's it sounded like total freakin' madness to me. But so interesting, it grabbed me and never let me go. This is one of England's best heritages.

[@jammybleeps]

I find it hard to believe that after djing and listening to jungle & dnb for nearly 15 years I had never heard of source direct. Photek has always been a favourite but after seeing the interview with these guys on the dutch interview, i'm stunned. Sickened and confused by my lack of knowledge. And I had a jungle collection to rival most. Hangs head in serious shame. But comforted by my rediscovered love of jungle dnb via Source Direct.

[@rolandsilver7742]

Oh mate, imagine you were born in Australia like me. You had to go to a CD store and hope they had some new DnB, praying it would be jungle. No other kid at school even knew what DNB was let alone jungle. No club EVER played DNB when I was clubbing age. The only place i could treat my soul to what it loved was in my car (2 x 12 inch subs ofcourse lol). I am constantly finding new stuff that takes me back to a time my soul barely experienced. Be thankful my friend. You had it great and you did your best and your heart led you to the best music :) Focus on the joy, glorify the universe. Peace brother.

[@DizzyD850]

you just don't hear drum programming like this anymore, this is true old school d'n'b

[@exactlywhatisaid]

not to downplay this track at all but i think the future is bright. there's plenty of good jungle still coming out and younger producers like me striving everyday to make beautiful jungle tunes. don't relegate this kind of stuff to an untouchable past. there are no limitations on the future

[@dr.doctor2620]

sorry to say this bro, but perhaps music like this will cease to be produced anymore soon. dubstep was a great genre till it was tainted by us style. skrillex ruined the genre for the original fans. now it's buried in the ruins of the classic electronic music, haunted only by the true lovers of music, explorers of the deep and hidden.

[@FeaRxEcHoGaming]

​@@dr.doctor2620 music cant be ruined, music is constantly changing, music is subjective, music cant seize to exist either, but skrillex is shite haha, theres a clear distinction between present US and UK dubstep so theres no way it can be ruined, its only classic because of your perspective, wait 10 years and youll see, like a massive flower. theres more to come

[@danhatechav]

@@dr.doctor2620 I get your point with dubstep, but the point remains that absolutely storming dubstep is still produced by young producers by the bucket-load. E.g., if you don't know them already, check out the White Peach record label on YT. Same goes for DnB and Jungle. Although I agree that it is a shame about the ratio of junk to good stuff in these genres today

[@OnTheDownLowODL]

@@FeaRxEcHoGaming False, music CAN be ruined.
