"...Jungle was this music that had Jamaican chat - which was presumably offensive to most non-Jamaicans - but coming from Jamaican descent I felt that this music was a key to explaining who I was... even more so than house music. This was everything I grew up in. This was reggae that formed me when I was in my mother's belly, this was the early electronic music that made me realize what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. This was the inventiveness of jazz that was to formulate soul then funk and which are deeply embedded within this music. Everything that is the material of my early childhood and teenage years is embedded within this music. This is my personal roots. I'm not trying to alienate anybody, just trying to explain what I am, who I am..."
