Jungle is the early-1990s UK breakbeat genre that fathered drum & bass. The style emerged from the British rave and breakbeat-hardcore scenes, grafting chopped breakbeats (the Amen break, the Think break) onto reggae and dub-influenced sub-bass, with samples from dancehall and hip-hop. Tempos run 160–180 BPM. Jungle peaked commercially around 1993–1995 through artists like Goldie, Shy FX, LTJ Bukem, and the Reinforced Records roster, and the genre subsequently splintered into drum & bass on one side and ragga jungle on the other. A 2010s/2020s revival through producers like Sherelle, Tim Reaper, and Coco Bryce has returned jungle to the underground spotlight, and labels like Hooversound and 7th Storey Projects keep the form active.
