Lately, we've witnessed a resurgence of Jungle/DnB music, particularly from the soundtracks of 90's videos games. Playlists are popping up all over KZfaq and garnering millions of views. As a frequent listener of Jungle/DnB, this got me wondering: how did so many games from the 90's end up using this style of club music in their soundtracks? In this video, I explore the history of early video game music and its relationship with 90's club music.
Please note I use a liberal definition of Jungle/DnB that encompasses all subgenres.
