"This music represents the tech speed and the life of street inner city kids addicted to fast breaks and basslines that make you wanna dance non-stop and dream"
As Jungle scene is growing rapidly in our city many cats from La Paz are pushing new boundaries into drum steps. New generations are programing new sounds using old school influences and original sounds from our region. This evolution would not have been possible with out true junglists that brought massiff tunes to La Paz during the golden era of drum n bass.One of these cats is StarWind, fellow producer and original junglist. This following interview was taken from sparking bowl sessions at the artist studio.
7: Name and occupation . Starwind, Software Engineer.
7:When did you start on drum steps?
S:Well in DC (District of Columbia,Washington) we are all born into drum steps.
From gogo our own brand of street drums and junglist scene which we lead into the golden era of drum n bass, New York, New Jersey, DC, Toronto,Philadelphia & Baltimore. Hardcore junglists only hail from these cities as they have witnessed the take off years 1993-1996 and the rise to the golden era 1997/2000
7:Why is Jungle music related to urban lifestyle?
S:Because these large cities are jungles of concrete and the music from the 80's that was forged
into fast breaks and relentless basslines were being played in abandoned warehouses and clubs everyday. later formed into junglists leagues where you could hit a junglist venue each day of the week for a special event. This music represents the tech speed and the life of street inner
city kids addicted to fast breaks and basslines that make you dance non-stop and dream endlessly.
7:What's the true meaning of jungle music to you?
S:Jungle music to me means my raver life.
Im jungle elitist for life since i first heard it at raves in the 90s, i just couldnt stop until today.
7:Why do kids love so much this genre?
S: I Guess kids love so much this genre because of its versatility, no other electronic genre has
so many sub-genres , you have dark, jazzy,raggae, grimey, intell, jump up, techy, gangsta, digital, future, and many steps to smash your snares to...and glide away in your basslines.
trancy stuff, jazzy, techy, dnb has a wide spectrum other genres are just limited to easily.
7:You came from states years ago, whats your perception on jungle since then and what conection you see between andean city living and fast drum steps in La Paz city?
S: Well today jungle is being played in every commercial as a pro-amen break, in every Tv show and alike...It has become a world phenomenon and I am very glad, I knew it would be.
Since the 90s it has grown to movie soundtracks and Tv commercials for any product possible.
the scene some say has "died". But there are still many loyal hardcore junglist taking this energy to new levels, La Paz has the advantage over other Bolivian cities of having electronic culture from Europe and America because of large amounts of La Paz city kids living abroad

and bringing back hardcore electronic essence from these futuristic counties and injecting it
into the La Paz city night.
S. I see La Paz 2010 drum n bass more solid than ever. As more producers and beat drawers will step into the jungle scene with digital and old school influence manly from the birth towns of this type of music.(U.S. & U.K) and of course injecting thier own spirit into it. possibly creating a strictly junglist league. With junglist only venues. like 95' East Coast US/UK.
7:Thank you STARWIND for this exclusive interview, see you at the club.
