🎶 The Sound of 1995 – Jungle, Breakbeat, and Drum & Bass Evolution
By 1995, jungle was at its peak, pushing the limits of hardcore breakbeats, deep subs, and ragga influences. Labels like Moving Shadow, Suburban Base, Reinforced, V Recordings, Metalheadz, and Good Looking Records were leading the charge, defining what would become modern drum & bass. This set represents the authentic, underground sound of that era, before commercialization and mass exposure changed the game.

This was the soundtrack to illegal warehouse raves, underground clubs, and pirate radio broadcasts that connected thousands of ravers across London and beyond.
