- mason55 2y agoFYI you have a typo in there. You wrote "JTL Bukem" but it should be "LTJ Bukem". LTJ being short for "Long Time Junglist"
- jamal-kumar 2y agocool to see ace combat 2 in there cause i love bullet hell games. was wild trying it on MAME instead of an arcade cabinet, hooked up to a subwoofer and realizing what genre it was cause your typical cabinet doesn't go loud enough to hear like half the song in the sub bass also funny how you can beat the game as a dolphin flying a plane haha
- samatman 2y agoYou have gotten the history here dead wrong: > The techno scene originated in Germany, reached the UK, and it was later associated with the Chicago & Detroit EDM scene in America. Techno was invented in Detroit, house music in Chicago. Germany like techno. In no sense whatsoever did they invent or originate it.
- louthy 2y agoYou’re right, but it’s also worth noting that the Belleville Three [1] were heavily influenced by Kraftwerk (electro) [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Belleville_Three https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Belleville_Three
- evanelias 2y agoI'd argue the article gets the history of jungle itself quite wrong too... there's no mention of breakbeat hardcore, no mention of Shut Up and Dance collaborating with Ragga Twins, etc. Fabio and Grooverider are seminal figures to the scene, yes, but they did not originate the sound.
- pacaro 2y agoThe sidebar about pirate radio, while factually correct, seems to heavily imply that pirate radio started in the jungle era, but Radio Caroline was broadcasting in the 60s
- gustavopezzi 2y agoHi there. That was probably just a small mistake on how I tried to explain the paragraph or the poor choice of words/terms I used. Thanks for the heads up.
- Intermernet 2y agoI've had this argument too many times, and it's not worth repeating. Yes, techno is from Detroit, influenced by Kraftwerk, influenced by Stevie Wonder, influenced by Stockhausen etc etc. Where it comes from is defined by where you draw a line in the sand.
