WE'RE BACK. What's the Story went on hiatus for a few weeks so that I could pass my exams, but we're back on the airwaves with this Jungle edition of the show. A hip-hop/electronic type genre which originated out of the UK's Breakbeat Hardcore genre, in the mid 90s. This music was huge in the UK's rave scene, and was influenced heavily by Jamaican immigrants' soundsystem culture and ragga sound.

Here are the links to documentaries and YouTube vids mentioned in the episode:
