DESCRIPTION:
2x12" Jungle., Drum N Bass & Ragga - Soul Jazz Records’ new ‘Junglist!’ is a heavyweight new selection of classic and rare original jungle and features Krome & Time, Cutty Ranks, M-Beat, Bizzy B, Lemon D, Top Cat and more.
‘Junglist!’ tells the story of how jungle and reggae came together to produce some of the heaviest tunes ever made.
Get ready for more pounding basslines, fierce Amen breaks and heavyweight ragga vocals - strictly original jungle style from the earliest days of drum and bass.
All these tracks date from 1993-95, at the height of jungle. Rarities include Bizzy B & TDK’s ‘Big Things’ (currently £350 on certain internet auction sites), only ever released on white label.
Aside from first generation jungle producers such as M-Beat, Krome & Time, Lemon D, DJ Vern and DJ Ash, the album includes super heavy jungle mixes of hardcore original dancehall legends like Cutty Ranks, Beenie Man, Josey Wales, Poison Chang and more.
This album follows on from earlier jungle and hardcore releases on Soul Jazz Records, including ‘Rumble in the Jungle’, Ragga Twins ‘Step Off’ and ‘Black Riot - Early Jungle, Rave and Hardcore’.

The term Various Artists is used in the recording industry to designate releases featuring contributions from multiple performers. It commonly appears on compilation albums or collaborative recordings where no single artist attribution applies. On digital platforms such as Last.fm, tracks may be listed under this designation when individual artist information is missing or incomplete in metadata, resulting in automatic grouping under the generic label.
In some cases, singles credited to Various Artists are issued for charitable purposes, particularly when performers collaborate under a collective project name. Examples include Band Aid with the song "Do They Know It’s Christmas?" and USA for Africa with "We Are the World".
Various Artists is also used as a performance alias by German musician Torsten Pröfrock, founder of the DIN label. In addition to this name, he has recorded under several other aliases, including Dynamo, Erosion, Resilent, and Traktor. He has collaborated with Robert Henke and has been a member of Monolake since 2004.
The name was also used by a short-lived punk band formed in Bristol by brothers Jonjo and Robin Key, originally from Birmingham. Other members were involved simultaneously in Art Objects, which later evolved into The Blue Aeroplanes; the Key brothers also contributed as songwriters and participants in that project. After the group disbanded, the brothers formed Either / Or.
The designation Various Artists is also commonly applied to musical theater soundtracks, reflecting recordings that feature multiple cast members or ensemble performances within a single track.
