on the other hand – “Roll It Up” was an influential track in the creation of breakbeat hardcore that later became jungle…but it wasn’t the only influential track by a long shot. at the same time East London bboys like Shut Up & Dance were also fusing house to hip hop breakbeats, not to mention stuff like Renegade Soundwave – “The Phantom” or a little bit later Lennie De Ice – “We Are IE”. not to mention Mr. Bones’ fellow New Yorker, Todd Terry (a name older hip hop heads might know from “I’ll House You”), the original don of roughing up house bboy-ish breaks & clattery drums.

all this is merely to say that there were in fact many tracks which birthed jungle & that I’m generally dubious of ppl trying to claim a lion’s share of the credit after the fact – bit of self-aggrandizement isn’t it – tho I suppose you did qualify it. in any regard it’s a cool post – kudos for stepping outside CB’s boundaries & making that connection for ppl who didn’t know…turn ppl onto different things & such.

thats crazy… never heard about this track before…

one sample basically birthed a whole genre thats still well and alive globally (well, not everywhere, but u know in places like brazil and latvia atleast).

dont stop with this history lesson shit…
