Message to Reader
Why am I making this project?
I want to create the project, in order to pay homage to my experiences listening to Jungle and attending illegal raves. I have matured in my life and whilst I enjoy events I have outgrown them. The project allows me to commemorate these experiences and say fair well to the community, I was once apart of. It will feature friends and acquaintances I met during this time and explore Jungle music within London.
