Great news, EDM lovers! Keyframe Entertainment has officially announced the launch of their EDM documentary, “The American Jungle!” The press release explains:
“In 2013, Keyframe-Entertainment will be Associate Producer for “The American Jungle.” This music documentary studies the roots of Drum & Bass and Jungle, as well as their influences on EDM in North America. The film is directed by Joshua “Phenetic” Freeman and Jeremy “Onket” Ballard, both of whom are well-respected DJ’s in the Drum & Bass genre. “The American Jungle” will explore the past 20 years of Drum & Bass music, its present and future, featuring artists such as DJ Hype, Dieselboy, Aphrodite, DB & Dara, Andy C, AK1200, and many more.
“The American Jungle” will begin its U.S. screening tour during the late Summer/Fall season of 2013, and will travel throughout the continental United States.

Jungle is a high-energy style of dance music that originated on the streets of London around 1992. Jungle is the term originally used at the time of the genre’s inception. While Drum & Bass is the standard reference term for the music, the term “Junglist” was associated with those committed to the lifestyle, and is still used today.”
This sounds AWESOME! Can’t wait to see how “The American Jungle” turns out, it definitely sounds promising!
