Soul Jazz Records Presents: Junglist! is a powerful collection of classic and rare jungle tracks, featuring artists such as Krome & Time, Cutty Ranks, M‑Beat, Bizzy B, Lemon D, Top Cat, and more. This compilation explores the fusion of reggae and jungle, showcasing some of the heaviest rhythms and most iconic tracks from the early days of drum and bass.
 
Spanning 1993–1995, at the peak of jungle’s first wave, Junglist! includes hard-to-find tracks like Bizzy B & TDK’s Big Things, originally only available on white label. Alongside pioneering producers like M‑Beat, Krome & Time, Lemon D, DJ Vern, and DJ Ash, the album also highlights heavyweight jungle interpretations of classic dancehall from Cutty Ranks, Beenie Man, Josey Wales, Poison Chang, and others.
 
Following in the footsteps of Soul Jazz Records’ earlier jungle and hardcore releases—including Rumble in the Jungle, Ragga Twins’ Step Off, and Black Riot – Early Jungle, Rave and Hardcore—this compilation captures the raw energy, rolling basslines, and relentless Amen breaks that defined a genre.
