"Jungle" term shouldn't be used for anything newer than 1995. :grr:

BR you nonce, jungle is not just 'old drum-n-bass', its a definite sub-genre. So up yours.

Depends on what DJ you ask. Mine is surely bigger!

There's actually something of a jungle 'revival' taking place at the moment, mostly in North America it seems. Try artists like Krinjah, Tester, R Cola and Aaron Spectre. Some breakcore guys like Enduser put out pretty junglish tunes now and again, too.

Some heated opinions about genre boundaries!
I used to listen several years back to "techno" like Astral Projection, Orbital, The Orb, etc. etc. I also dug (and still do) drum and bass and even more avant garde stuff like Squarepusher.
That said, all of that stuff plus the more trendy ravey dancey trancey stuff all goes in one bucket for me these days: techno. Subclass it how you like, it's techno to me these days.
Although thanks to the person for recommending Marco V... I have one of his CDs buried in my closet. I need to go dig that out.

While I'm not screaming for you to be burned at the stake or anything, you do have to understand that for people who actually follow this music, you are doing the equivalent of calling Christina Aguilera "rock".

In 88-91 when the rave scene was still small, it was easy to call most non-breakbreat dance electronica 'techno'. And it was fine to think that Technotronic, 2 Unlimited, LFO, Rozalla, or even Kraftwerk, The Orb and Front 242 are 'techno'. Then most of public and even wannabe music journalists became pretty much confused and tired of all those subgenres so they started calling everything 'electronica'. It's no biggie to call trance techno, since it's a real techno offshot, but if some candyraver tells me he just discovered this "great techno DJ Astral Projection", I'm ready to play him some Lenny D. and say "THIS IS TECHNO, BUDDY".
