The one other style we must mention for 1991 was the UK hardcore techno sound. As we’ve stated earlier, in ’91 there was a musical melting pot where DJ’s would play tracks from all five of our 1991 sections in the same set, but in order to single out the very first seeds of jungle, we’ve chosen to separate those sounds.
Hardcore UK techno, or ‘ardkore tekno, was a 4/4 based mixture of Belgian overtones, a smattering of breakbeats (but not enough to make it jungle tekno) and the fattest, hardest synth and bass sounds on offer at the time. It was hard, fast and made you stomp. It was an integral part of the melting pot and its influence is unquestionable. Turn this stuff up load and take a good listen. It’ll shred both your speakers and your mind!
