JUNGLE BROTHERS SOUNDSYSTEM
Dear promoter,
The Native Tongue head honchos and one of the most famous and celebrated Hip Hop groups who pioneered the fusion of Jazz and Hip-Hop and early Jungle/Drum and Bass and Hip House return with a new set.
The Jungle Brothers have been around since Hip Hop’s Golden Age, and they continue to adapt creatively to the changing sound scapes of both Hip Hop and DJ culture. They first appeared on the NYC Hip Hop scene with the release of the groundbreaking “Straight Out The Jungle” in 1988.
This recording was the birthplace of the Native Tongues posse a triumvirate of innovative Rap groups (including De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Queen Latifah, Monie Love and later Mos Def) and was instrumental in influencing later envelope pushing artists like the Roots, Arrested Development, Pharcyde, Madlip, Common, Kanye West and others.
Following up their raw, energetic debut, the group went into the studio with NYC underground club and house producer Todd Terry, and Hip house was born. “I’ll House You” became a bona fide international hit, making Terry one of the most in-demand remixers to this day.
A major label bidding war ensued, and the Jungle Brothers subsequently signed to Warner Bros.
Free to sample and manipulate in a more sophisticated setting, the JBs mixed up breaks and beats that recalled the Bronx block parties of their youth, incorporating elements from jazz, soul, and funk classics.
The resulting album: “Done By The Forces Of Nature”, ranks with other masterpieces of the era like the Beastie Boys “Paul’s Boutique” and De La Soul’s seminal “Three Feet High And Rising”.
They went on and released “J Beez wit the remedy”, “Raw Deluxe” and “All that we do” and collaborated with the likes of Stereo Mcs, Propellerheads and the Wiseguys.
The Jungle Brother’s remix of “Jungle Brothers” with Jungle/Drum and Bass producer “Aphrodite” was a benchmark not only for the Drum and Bass genre but for all types of electronic music catapulting the JBs to music top tables.
The Jaybee’s appear on this tour in a new performance mode – a MC vs. DJ sound system performance,
featuring Mike Gee and the group’s original DJ Sammy B. The Jungle Brothers Sound System’s features old classics mixed up with brand new material, presented in true ‘Jaybee’s’ party rocking style.
***also available for Drum and Bass/Jungle live performances***
