Oscillations
Released
When the jungle juggernaut began gathering steam in London’s underground dance clubs in the early 1990s, bassist and producer Bill Laswell was paying attention. And by the time jungle started shedding its explicit reggae influences and turning into a sleeker and harder instrumental subgenre called drum’n’bass, Laswell was fully on board. He produced Oscillations in 1996, working with artists Ninj and Transoniq to create a uniquely dark vision of the doublespeed-breakbeat concept — one that would continue to influence his later work as a solo artist and producer.
