You cannot have Jungle without breaks. This pack features 50+ royalty-free classic breaks, recorded from original vinyl pressings, then cleaned up (but not sanitized).
Because of the versatile format selection, this pack is universally compatible:
For producers using Propellerhead (now Reason Studios) software, the RX2 format is a revelation. These are pre-sliced REX files of the classic breaks. When loaded into Reason’s Dr. Octo Rex or any compatible sampler (like Serato Sample), the break is automatically sliced at the transient points.
No track is finished without texture.
In the pantheon of electronic music, few genres carry as much mystique, raw energy, and technical complexity as Jungle. Born from the rave scenes of early 90s London and Bristol, Jungle is the sound of chopped breaks, subsonic basslines, and the relentless push for rhythmic innovation. For decades, producers have chased the "vintage" sound—that gritty, warm, yet aggressive texture that defined classics from Metalheadz, Moving Shadow, and Reinforced Records.
But chasing that sound often meant a painful trade-off: either you spend hours digging through dusty crates and degrading vinyl, or you settle for sterile, over-processed modern sample packs that lack the soul of the originals.
Enter OG Jungle Vol. 1 Sample Pack. This is not just another folder of loops. It is a meticulously curated arsenal of sonic ammunition designed specifically for the modern producer who refuses to compromise on authenticity. Available in WAV, MIDI, and RX2 (Rex2) formats, this pack bridges a 30-year gap, putting the DNA of the underground directly onto your timeline.
One of the standout features of this release is its universal compatibility. Let’s look at why each format is crucial for Jungle production. OG Jungle Vol. 1 Sample Pack -WAV-MIDI-RX2-
Deducted half a point for no physical vinyl release—but the WAVs are so warm, you’ll forgive them.
Rewind. Selecta.

, personally sourced these sounds from his extensive hardware studio and vinyl collection. Unlike many modern packs that use "clean" digital processing, OG Jungle Vol. 1

In the sprawling digital ecosystem of modern music production, sample packs are often treated as disposable fast fashion—used for a season, then forgotten. Every so often, however, a release arrives that feels less like a utility and more like a time-machine. OG Jungle Vol. 1 is precisely that artifact.
Billed simply with the suffixes WAV / MIDI / RX2, this pack eschews the hyper-aggressive, EDM-tinged "jungle" of the 2010s revival. Instead, it aims directly for the raw, cracked pavement, pirate-radio static, and breakbeat science of the 1993–1996 era. This is not a pack for clean, clinical neurofunk. This is for rolling basslines, ragga chat, and amens that sound like they were sampled from a vinyl warped by the humidity of a London squat party.
Here is a deep dive into the sonic architecture, utility, and cultural resonance of the OG Jungle Vol. 1 toolkit.
