In recent years Liquid Stranger and Ganja White Night have become household names among the purveyors of weird wubby experimental bass music. Founding Wakaan and SubCarbon Records respectively, they’ve curated homes for forward-thinking producers to truly be themselves and push maximum creativity. Now, they’ve pooled their collective efforts into a piece that would be more apt to be described as an experience, rather than simply a song.
‘Jungle Juice’ ropes you into a false sense of security with a very tranquil, mellow opening. The vibe shifts almost immediately when the vocals state “deep in the jungle,” bringing in drums with an echo effect that adds an air of mystery. “Jungle” is looped as the song builds creating unearthly amounts of tension before devolving into what I can only describe as what would happen if crunches and wubs got drunk at a bar one night and then woke up next to each other. The bass lines are sensationally rich and have a rounded texture to them, creating this all-encompassing feeling that makes the music even more impactful.
This is a song that will most assuredly be fantastic on a large system. If Indiana Jones wanted to add dubstep into its movie score, this would be a perfect fit as the tribal chant vocals mixed with the melody and flute elements make you feel like you’re raiding an ancient temple deep in the Amazon rainforest, looking for an abundance of treasure. Although you may not have found the physical reward you were searching for, the real treasure is this incredible soundscape that you get to put on repeat for the next several weeks.
