Oh shit there's actually still people who get old Amigas specifically for making jungle. Cool to see an article in a mainstream publication about this. You can legit roll up to a party with two amigas and a mixer and bump an entire jungle set out of them... It's that thick 8-bit bassline and the fact that you're programming the song in a scrolling wall of hexadecimal that makes jungle sound the way it does.

The sound is definitely getting a kick lately. I was playing tech house at a party and some random came up and was like why aren't you playing jungle? Like damn I haven't heard that in over a decade, good question

This is a bit silly since good cross-platform trackers are available for free. C64 SID's I could understand, those are actual analog chips and the modern recreations might not be perfect. But making tracked music is not something that needs real hardware.

You're missing the point though

It's fun

I dunno how much DJ/VJ/music stuff you do but when you have cute 20 year old total babes literally sitting in your lap asking what that is then it starts to click. Plus with the Amiga thing, again with jungle that 8 bit bass really pumps for such a cheap machine.

I think some get a kick out of working under limitations in order to boost creativity too. Personally I would start with renoise though I can totally see myself having a blast with octamed on some computer that doesn't even really have internet.
