Description
Before drum ‘n’ bass there was Jungle. Born on the progressive reggae sound systems of the early 1990s, jungle was the UK’ s answer to dancehall and one of Soul II Soul’ s enduring legacies take what’ s already there and adapt it to make it unique. Fittingly, next up on the FunkiDred label are two of 1995’ s most elusive jungle mixes the sought after version of Missing You, giving vocal outtakes a deserved new life and Dillinger’ s Genius mix of Do You Love Enuff. Both only previously available as limitededition white labels, each has a strictly junglist foundation – edgy, headrush and dubwise haziness – overlaid with dreamy FunkiDredstyle vocals, as Soul II Soul in the jungle gives a distinctive take on an underappreciated black British style.
