Konkrete Jungle is the longest-running Jungle drum and Bass night in the world. Nearly everyone who is anyone in New York City got their start here, and without it, Jungle Drum and Bass would eventually cease to exist in this city. From it's humble beginnings in a little bar on Chrystie Street in the Lower East Side of New York City to hosting events in some of the hottest clubs in the City and the nation, Konkrete Jungle has been the proving grounds for Junglists of every discipline. The history of Konkrete Jungle is a story of triumph, defeat, and rebirth; a story of memorable times and times where the extreme pressure of a fascist mayoral regime nearly spelt disaster for the foundation of NYC Jungle Drum and Bass.
It all began in late 1994. With rave staples such as N.A.S.A. tweaking peoples' interest in electronic dance music and a tune by Smith and Mighty. Kathe knew A Guy Called Gerald. Helen Doyle helped create the scene through her diligent work and public relations. E.G. "Mac" MacFarlane felt a need to cater to those interested in a burgeoning sound that was to be known by us to today as Jungle Drum and Bass. As his time with the legendary Giant Step's acid jazz massives began to wind down, Cassien of Legend approached him with the idea to start up a weekly event strictly dedicated to Jungle music. It was a daunting task, to say the least, considering the fact that Jungle was perhaps the least popular form of electronic dance music in the City. Throwing caution into the wind, Konkrete Jungle was born on November 10, 1994 in Club 205, with original residents Cassien of Legend, Delmar, Panik, Darkstar, and Dara.
Now Konkrete Jungle is working to keep the vibe alive well into the next millenium in the US and internationally. Chapters have sprang up thru the root system across the country and world, holding down the things that brought us here to begin with. the future is bright, and we're here to bring the pressha!
Konkrete Jungle PDX is proud to keep the tradition alive bringing you top notch talent and a great vibe with each and every show! Hope to see you on the dancefloor!
