    The first thing to do to better attract the, er, junglist massive was to speed up the 4/4 disco-ish tempo — which meant the vocals either had to come off or be stretched — and then start building on the bassline.

    The problem with things that go very fast is that they tend to be a bit scary, a bit alienating, and sometimes a bit dangerous. […]. Jungle was no exception, drawing huge appeal from the junglist massive, but pushing many other ravers off the dancefloor in search of something, well, a bit slower.
