Sorry - I like the video, and I like the live band thing, but its a different thing from the records he puts out, and that was what I meant - if you click the play button on the right-hand side of the last.fm screen you can listen to the original version of the track itself. The live band thing is obviously in a different category to DJs playing records, you can't compare them that easily. As far 'jungle resample', what I was getting at was records made today, or recently, that use exactly the same samples and sounds that jungle records did - breakbeats, clips of (ragga) guys talking, pads, atmospherics, percussive basslines - and in mainly the same way, rather than casting a wider net in terms of samples - a la the above London Elektricity tune...
I'm familiar w/London Elektricity actually. I stick by what I said.
"more than jungle" ah whatever it smacks of the same as "intelligent dnb". also plenty of post-'00 jungle or jungle-related music does cast a "wider net" - gabber, more overt hip hop influences, harsh lo-fi electronics, a ton of stuff really. though of course there are also dudes doing uncreative stuff with the same old elements, which is also true for plenty of LE-style dnb.
