Jungle Revolution

The title of this 2013 release is a bit puzzling, because the last thing it represents is a “revolution” in jungle music; on the contrary, it’s a wonderful celebration of old-school junglism, circa 1997 or so. Produced by the great Congo Natty (formerly known as Rebel MC), it features a nice mix of choo-choo, Amen, and jump-up rhythms — with the occasional subtle nod to dubstep — underlying vocal contributions from General Levy, KRS-One and others, all mixed with dextrous ingenuity. Don’t sleep on Jungle Revolution in Dub, either.
