Wiwek is undoubtedly one of the driving forces behind jungle terror’s partial revival. The genre dropped significantly in popularity post the big room boom in the late 2000s and, while his style bears little resemblance to jungle terror of old, it still encapsulates the same feral, unhinged and raw spirit it is known for. The sound is a trend for the breakout producer that has continued with latest single “Drum Nation.”
The single features Wiwek’s signature tasteful chaos, but is simultaneously slower and heavier than some of his previous work. Underlying layers of sound, the mix features an unmistakably tribal theme, underscored by the beat of the overpowering bass drum and trancelike chanting vocals.
