The year 1994 was a pivotal year for Jungle music and its direction which had split paths with Hardcore music, however, some promoters still liked to promote the new wave of Jungle music with Happy Hardcore and Techno putting them all in different arenas at the same raves. At the time Jungle scene was commanding enough respect and throwing its own raves and creating its own market. Jungle tracks were even being released into the mainstream UK Commercial Pop Charts, with tracks like Incredible - M-Beat Feat. General Levy, and, Original Nuttah - Shy FX feat. UK Apachi.
The rave scene was immense with nights being run every weekend and even midweek.
