Jungle is quite chaotic and has a breakbeat of 160BPM with the bass drum on half speed. If you're not used to it, it's hard to predict when there is a beat and/or bass. Jungle's origins are from England and it is named after the big concrete, metallic "jungle" city. Different mixes with reggae and hardcore are divided into three categories: Drum 'n' Bass, Hardstep, and Intelligent jungle. Intelligent jungle can also be called "artcore", which has a slight trance "flavour" into it. Artists such as LTJ Bukem, PFM, Jamie Myerson, and Goldie are known for this style of music.
Review of the style written for Eurodance Hits WWW by DJ Base. www.eurodancehits.com

(Please Note: This section was created by others on the net, because there is no clear definition of various styles of dance music. With today's fusion of so many varied music styles, many titles that could be classified as trance-techno, techno-house, disco, deep-dub and acid house (the original and purest form of progressive house), have been lumped together in the nondescript progressive house.   So what is the conclusion? Seems that any music classification is a bogus attempt to "pigeon hole" what would otherwise be loosely called "good dance music". Classifying, they purpose, could negatively influence a DJ or collector to pass by a song or style and potentially undermine the emerging melange of old and new, multi-style fusion trends. However, most DJs and collectors do have very particular tastes, and considering the overwhelming volume of new everyday releases. Listing of artist and title simply does not provide enough information.  Herein is an attempt to dispel the clouds of confusion about the styles. It is not ultimate, and your comments or own description of the styles (mentioned here or not) on the list are VERY welcome within the Discussion Forums of the site.)
