Jungle by Brig: A Drum 'n' Bass Odyssey That Still Slaps (2014)
Alright, let’s talk about Jungle by Brig. Released in 2014 under Most Addictive Records, this album is one of those hidden gems that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel, but damn if it doesn’t make the wheel spin faster than you thought possible. Genre? Electronic. Style? Drum 'n' bass. And yeah, it delivers exactly what you’d hope for—pulsating beats, atmospheric vibes, and a whole lot of energy.
Now, I gotta shout out two tracks here because they’re stuck in my head like gum on a hot sidewalk. First up, obviously, is “Jungle.” This track feels like being chased through a neon-lit rainforest by something you can’t see. The bassline hits so hard it practically rattles your soul, while the breaks are sharp enough to cut glass. There’s this moment around the halfway mark where everything drops out except for this eerie little synth line—it’s unsettling, but in the best way. Like, you’re scared, but also kinda into it. You know?
Then there’s another banger—I won’t name it because discovery is half the fun—but trust me, it’s got this hypnotic rhythm that worms its way into your brain and refuses to leave. It’s the kind of song that makes you miss your bus stop because you’re too busy nodding along like a bobblehead doll. The production is tight as hell, with layers upon layers of sound that reveal themselves the more you listen. Honestly, it’s the kind of track DJs pull out when they wanna prove they’ve still got game.
What strikes me most about Jungle is how timeless it feels. Even though it dropped nearly a decade ago, it doesn’t sound dated at all. Maybe it’s the raw energy or the fact that Brig clearly knew his stuff. Whatever it is, it works. Listening to this album feels like stepping into a time machine where the destination isn’t important—it’s all about the ride.
And hey, here’s a weird thought: If Drum 'n' Bass were an animal, this album would be some sort of electric jaguar prowling through the night. Sleek, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. So go ahead, give it a spin. Just don’t blame me if you find yourself zoning out during meetings later—it’s not my fault Brig made such addictive tunes.
