Description
JungleJungle: 1989-1999 Sample Pack is Blu Mar Ten's archive of classic jungle and early drum and bass source material, collected from vinyl and CD and presented as 16-bit WAV files. It focuses on the era's core building blocks: chopped breaks, bass hits, pads, riffs, arps, vocal snippets, and FX that can be sliced into new sampler-based ideas.
The official Blu Mar Ten Bandcamp page explains that the pack was re-hosted because older mirror sites disappeared and producers kept asking where to find it. SoundPacks lists a more granular breakdown of 675 samples, including 224 breaks, 58 bass sounds, 120 FX, 77 pads, 130 riffs/arps/hits, and 69 vocals.
The important caveat is licensing. Blu Mar Ten says the pack was created for fun, is not to be sold, and contains samples or samples of samples from commercially released tracks, so producers should treat it as a historical sound-design resource rather than a clean commercial royalty-free library.
Use it for studying old-school jungle texture, layering breakbeats, resampling pads and stabs, or sketching period-accurate drum and bass ideas. For released music, clear anything recognizable or replace parts with licensed sounds before distribution.
