Wot do you call it? Jungle house, pal. UKG dynamo Finn slackens niche-style speed garage and ramps bassline house on a wicked one-two mixtape that messes with the sounds’ fundamentals.
Expanding an idea that’s been bubbling in his highly active imagination for time now, Jungle House makes subtly wicked adjustments to parameters of the UK’s favourite raving tackle. One side sees “speed garage played slow” and the other finds “bassline house played fast”, and both are absolutely up for it in their own way.
Finn finds new life in well worn tunes by simple but deadly effective strategies. On the A-side, speed garage is recorrected in step with the OG, US garage steez, yoking it back to a slinkier, sexier pace, just like they used to play it, before the rush of the ‘90s and DJs playing garage in the back rooms of D&B raves were practically forced to pitch it up to match the levels in the other room. Finn knows his onions, and his slowed down side is full of heat that sounds dead right in this context - those Reese basses sound class when slow and swollen, and the drums still carry it without losing the energy. Bravo.
His B-side however lives up to the UK’s reputation for going hard or going home. For 45 minutes Niche-style bassline is pushed up into the 150BPM bracket with breathless results making the breakdowns even more crucial for tempering the pressure gauge, hitting the sort of pace and giddiness we’d associate with his pal and longtime DJ-spar, Jordan’s acclaimed donk and UKG sets.
