One of the scene’s most promising producers delivers a hedonistic yet hard-hitting single that’s already rattled the world’s biggest stages
Talented drum ‘n’ bass producer 1991 returns with a trance-flecked single, ‘Jungle’ ft. Alex Hosking, out on 21st August via Chaos.
Following on from 1991’s recent singles, ‘Cyclone’, ‘Worlds Apart’ and ‘Horizon’, ‘Jungle’ fuses nostalgic trance soundscapes with the punchy drum & bass 1991 is renowned for. Topped with the ethereal vocals of Australian vocalist Alex Hosking, this one is a primed DJ tool.
‘Jungle’ has already been in the spotlight at standout venues and the world’s biggest dance festivals, including Tomorrowland, footage of which you can see here. 1991 recently hosted a unique pop-up party on a boat in London to celebrate the single, where Alex Hosking performed a live PA.
Speaking about the inception of ‘Jungle’, 1991 says, “Jungle has been an important song in my sets this year. It started with an amazing vocal hook that was sent to me by my friend Alex Hosking, which I instantly knew was the perfect hook for an instrumental I was already working on. I was feeling inspired by the euphoria of trance from around the turn of the millennium and that formed the overall theme for the track.”
London-based DJ and producer 1991 has quickly become a standout artist in drum’n’bass, known for his vibrant fusion of hooky melodics, heady emotions and high-impact production on tracks such as ‘Cyclone’, which achieved over 1M Spotify streams in four months, and his remix of Mason vs Princess Superstar’s ‘Perfect’, which was dropped by David Guetta on Tomorrowland’s main stage.
This time, he works with the mighty Alex Hosking, an Adelaide-born, London-based vocalist who has no trouble racking up tens of millions of streams. She launched her career on YouTube and went on to record original tracks in Nashville in 2012. Hosking gained prominence with her feature on PS1’s ‘Fake Friends’, which peaked at #19 on the UK Singles Chart in 2020, and she’s since garnered a whopping 10M streams for her track with Zwette called ‘Rooftop In Amsterdam’.
‘Jungle’ arrives off the back of an intense touring schedule for 1991 with shows in North America, Australia, New Zealand and Europe, including standout milestones at EDC Las Vegas and a tour of North America with WORSHIP artists Sub Focus, Dimension and Culture Shock.
