A Beginner's Guide to Jungle Techno

[@RonWellsJS]

Superb piece of work Tim, the tutorial project is brilliant.

[@TimCant]

Thank you Ron, that means a great deal to me. You’ve always been an inspiration and you’ve made a huge contribution to the scene. Respect 👊

[@JackAcid]

Lived through this all, and will never forget how the scene just changed from 92 into 93. It was like a switch had been flipped. Brilliant, brilliant times.

Was listening to this with Bluetooth earbuds. Right when the drop started in your playthrough, I got a “low battery” message. It timed out perfectly as a rave vocal sample! 😂

[@DSilkSmooth]

Ah Tim, this tutorial is absolutely amazing and covers in detail my favourite sub genre of old skool. Thank you so much for the mention it's utterly appreciated. ❤ FM8 is amazing and it's a Synth I use regularly. It's Arp is one of the best features of any Synth I've ever used. Ron laid a foundation that so many have tried to reach. A true genre defining pioneer.

Nice one Dan, your tunes are bangers and you’re doing the style proud 👊 Thanks for watching!

As a natural follow on to this I'd love to see a deep dive into (as we now call it) oldskool hardcore jungle. You touched on it with the sy and unknown tracks, but ofc that was just the happy hardcore's beginings side of it, and it further split off into another dozen directions with all manors of moods incorperated into the style. 😊

[@gergovagyok4191]

Basement records were my favourite for a long time.

[@adamcook8564]

What video! thank you. I hold my Jungle Techno records closely to my heart.

[@shortattentionspa.....]

Please keep goign with this series, sooooooo good!

[@oldskoolordie]

Great video. Top Buzz, Ibiza recs and Jack Smooth are the innovators for me. 1991 top buzz sets feature many belgian techno tunes that for me are jungle techno. Mental Overdrive Soma as an example.

[@kamidphish]

I never imagined someone would make a video like this of my favourite sub-genre of UK Hardcore. :chef kiss:

[@simaopaideia]

Just came back from a jungle techno stage at Fusion festival. Amazing stuff.

[@monnimonnickendam7289]

Hope you mention Jack Smooth. Ron Wells is the Daddy. Glad you are educating the youngsters 🤣I got into music and making it because of raves, then jungle etc.

[@thehitman1980]

The greatest dance music genre of all time which rarely ever gets a proper mention in the mainstream music world

[@HoltMotorsports]

This is absolutely awesome. Great history. Felt like I was in a Time Machine briefly 🤘 Super cool to see what some of the newer jungle producers are doing and revisiting these vibes.

[@RuffneckBizniz]

'DJ Edge - Compnded' would be one I'd add to the 'influential' list. People lost their fucking minds when we played that.

[@DanteHaroun]

Fantastic stuff!!!! Also, for the current Jungle Tekno artists section, a Dev/Null has been reppin that sound sometimes in his Jungletrain show and has some Jungle Tekno releases!!! I discovered this genre from his mixes

[@ColonelForkEyes]

This entire vibe is being heavily revisited at the moment under the label '140bpm Jungle'. That plus the resurgence of breakcore is showing that people got sick of standard, quantised beats.

[@thcdenton]

favorite tutorial format on youtube. Comprehensive historical introduction followed by a solid example made ITB. Big ups.

Maaaaate, been looking for that Jonny L track at 8:51 for like 30 years! Nice one. Excellent video also, well worth a sub.

Atari Ste Blood Money

[@Manc268]

A great era, a very experimental few years in all genres of dance. Many great tracks - edge of darkness' come together always sounded epic when dropped in any mix.. so i knew this was worth a watch soon as i saw the first few seconds ! there is so many little variations to the old school sound & lots of the quality tracks still sound good today. Most deserve a top quality repress ! I preferred the sub bass with breakbeats, the 4x4 sped up too much which was weird bcos i loved the harder 4x4 techno but i didnt like where 'hardcore' went with it. It wasnt a happy place for me.. Music from the 90's has a special key for my mind i just cant find anywhere else ! The atmosphere some clubs had was unique & a big thanks to the distributors & dj's from those days !

[@loupaulo1205]

Great vid, would love to see a video like this about footwork

[@beatslucas]

Hi Tim. I first hear your music on liquid brilliants when I checked their catalogue after I released a few eps on that label, many years later I watched your first video without realising it was the same person, but now I realise and it's a pleasant surprise. One of the tunes I really like from you (apart from the one in LB "Just Can't give you up") is the one you released in Spearheads' "Heaven" which by the way is exceptional. After I watched this video I can see there is a bit of jungle techno influences in the 4x4 jungle beat, more jazzy like in Nookie's "only you". Anyway, it doesn't make sense to you but is nice to see you are doing these videos, I found them very interesting and educational. I hope you keep doing more videos like this!

[@TimCant]

Hi Lucas, thanks so much for checking my music out and big up to another Liquid Brilliants artist! 😀 You know I hadn’t thought of the thematic similarity between “Heaven” and “Only You” until just now. At the time I was listening to a lot of future bass (especially the Tourist album “U” kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqHEYnV4r9uGmas which is well worth a listen), and was interested in fusing it with hardcore-style sounds. I seem to remember I started the track at 160BPM or so and then ended up speeding up to DnB tempo. Thanks so much for taking the time to write and I hope to hear more Playful tracks! 😊

[@beatslucas]

@@TimCant Thanks Tim, I will have a listen to the album you recommended me. I also would like to share with you a new-jungle tune I made with a friend kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXjNpItrmLF3i80

[@DJLirnl]

This brings me back to the early days, btw great video. ✌

[@MrMuzbob]

Thanks for another great video. I really loved the hardcore sound just after the split in the scene. Moments In Time is still one of my all time favourite tunes. Another good track that could be added to the play list is Atmosphere by Chaos & Julia Set (Sub Base Field Mix)

[@TimCant]

Yeah great suggestion, I’ve added it now, nice one 👍

[@RAISING_WOLVES]

[@TimCant]

[@Jes7ix]

Fantastic video as usual. Combining the history with the actual tutorial element makes so much sense as everything has a context. My favourite track of this period which wasn't mentioned is Lord of the Null Lines by Hyper On Experience.

[@TimCant]

Yeah that’s a great track, you might enjoy this old interview I shot with Alex Banks of Hyper On Experience where he talks about the EPs they released on Moving Shadow kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIuyf59noZiCpbs

Subbed! Why mono for your jam? Were all the tunes back then mono?

[@TimCant]

Thanks for the sub. It's not mono, but it doesn't have the mid/side mixing approach I'd use on a modern tune. Tunes back then definitely weren't mono :)

[@DJBathtub]

Lovely stuff! Been into hardcore since the mid nineties and never really understood what Jungle Tekno actually was so this was very helpful indeed. Great little tune too…now if you can just show me how you made Positive Energy Part 2 that would be great.🙂 Deffo gonna check the links.👍

[@TimCant]

Positive Energy pt 2 was a vocal off Carl Cox Concept - The Planet of Love, the Amen off DJ Solo - Darkage (you can still hear the subs underneath! 🙈) and piano and strings off a Korg M1. I “programmed” the string patch by mucking around with parameters at random as I had no clue what I was doing, but I think I basically put a low pass filter opening up over a one of the string waves. I could never make a tune like the early Vibena tracks again as loads of it was random button mashing 😆

[@DJBathtub]

@@TimCant Bloody beautiful! The piano is killer as is the sub. Really appreciate the reply. Cheers man!🙂

[@raversparadise]

So I'm thinking about trying to make my own music after 30yrs of DJing. What software would you recommend for an absolute beginner who understands track structure but zero music knowledge?😊

[@TimCant]

If you already have a Mac I suggest GarageBand which is free and designed to be beginner-friendly. If not, then I definitely recommend getting the demo version of Ableton Live which is the software I used in this video. The demo version lasts for 90s days (so if you hate it immediately you haven't wasted any cash!) and if you do decide to take the plunge there are versions at various price points. and you get a discount if you decide to upgrade. If you decide you'll like some one-on-one tuition help hit me up as well of course ;) bit.ly/TimCantContact

[@raversparadise]

@@TimCant awesome mate, thanks. 🙏 I think the Ableton route is the one for me then as I'm pc rather than Mac.

Not really, it’s just a sub genre of hardcore rave 👍

[@fugazi32]

It was played at all the big raves in the early '90s, a darker offshoot of hardcore with more emphasis on synths rather than samples.
