And what do you need to do to take a classic piece of art and update it into something new?These questions are addressed on this week's episode, in which we welcome arguably the most important producer in the new wave of Jungle that has caught the imagination of so many people over the past few years.We also discuss the broader Jungle/DnB scene today, and how the various parts of it fit together, as well as Tim's personal pathway from first hearing an Andy C cd at school in the mid 2000s to his current position.And we also discuss his label, Future Retro, and the changing tactics and strategies required to be successful in today's landscape.Get involved!--If you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon!
