Suburban Base was a good label back in the day, used to be able to pick up a lot of their back catalogue quite cheap in Vinyl Exchange

Total Science were Funky Technicians I think (or one of them, anyway). Regardless, brilliant tune. And total science don’t get enough credit for their ability to go from chilled Good Looking stuff to full on tear out stuff.

One of my all time faves. Bollywood jungle. (Sorry the sound quality is a bit poor and the image… well)

Got that in the rack somewhere.
Grooverider did a great remix of Bally Sagoo. Couldn’t find the superior dub mix on YT unfortunately.

I don’t think i agree with this at all, Aberdeen maybe had more clubs and variety than Dundee, but i wouldn’t really compare them, both had some really amazing stuff on, and a mutual respect for each other. Glasgow brought shame on the entire country with that cheesy Happy Hardcore and Bouncy techno music that was demanded at every rave 1993 onwards. National embarrassment.
I didn’t mean to imply one was better than the other, just distinct identities.
Bouncy techno is just comedy music to me, it’s impossible to dance to and I think the whole point of it is just to be as tasteless as possible, which I guess means it’s good at what it does but just not designed for my ears at all.
Yeah, i guess it was down to the fact you were directly replying to someone who ran events in Aberdeen who booked acts like Mad Mats, Domu, Benji B… and inferring that the city had tastes for “faster” music within the context of a thread about Jungle music. The Jungle scene of that city was always pretty respectable, as far as the actual music played in clubs goes.
Was listening to this mix yesterday

Lots of incredible music coming out of the “modern jungle” scene right now with folks like Coco Bryce and Tim Reaper, along with labels like Green Bay Wax. Some of it is very much rooted in reviving the sounds of the mid-'90s with era specific gear and production techniques while there’s another side taking cues from footwork and more recent developments. ( I wrote a rundown of the scene in late 2020 with plenty of links if anyone is looking for more contemporary jungle.)
I’ve also been digging through the Scientific Wax catalog recently, home to Equinox, Nebula and others creating super lush and technical music through the 2000s and 2010s.
And for raw and dubby drum & bass, the more recent stuff from Breakage is ace.
