This is the first MODERN jungle mix I have heard that sounds pretty much 100% authentic oldschool! It auto played for me and after 1 hour I checked as was shocked i hadnt been served some 1990s jungle mix.... amazing replication of the sound, with the quality to match.

They replicate it very very well. Why is Trance not seeing the same thing? DnB has a well represented portion of the underground making this stuff. We have the same passion in trance and prog, but it's not happening. Anyone care to explain why?

Mainly because trance producers get tired of making it sound like everyone else then there wouldn't be a chance for experimentation. Plus, there is no mass market nor would clubs want to hear that kind of stuff because promoters and djs and clubbers want to hear tracks that gives them dopamine boost now.

I've never been much of a dnb fan, but lately uk garage and dnb have started really enticing me quite a lot. Maybe because I spend the last 4 months exclusively working on breaks partially inspired of them, but I also made an effort of listening more of both styles.
UK Garage and Jersey Club actually kind of became the sound of Gen Z last year!
The originals of this and this have hundreds of millions of streams on Spotify and went viral on Tiktok

This is a great thread!

Only in the past few years did I discover DnB that I really liked after Shazaming a Metrik track. I fell in love with nearly all of the tracks on his album Ex Machina. This eventually led me to discovering a whole new world of melodic DnB with vocals that I didn't even know existed before. Artists like Voicians, Maduk, Lexurus, Grafix to name a few.

For me, this style of DnB has a whole different energy and power to it that I have come to respect much more now. Lately, it's the main type of music that has really been motivating me in the gym!

There's too many to list, but here's a just a few of my personal favorites:

The first track of this mix is very nice, check it!

Really spacey, drenched atmospheric dnb, with sprinkles of trancey fx. The whole mix is actually pretty good, all original music from the dude who uploaded it. Feels a little more original than some of the nu-jungle music thats coming out more recently, although its still throwback ps1 DnB sounds, so not breaking new ground or anything...

The new generation of Drum & Bass producers are nailing the atmosphere, sound design and often musicality of the old classics. When will the Trance boys follow their lead?
