How to Be a Junglist: The T-shirt Special

With all this body language sharpened by many years of obeying thousands of thunderous demands of the bass, we don’t really need to put print on our clothes to express ourselves, now do we? But here we go and do it anyway, just for junglistic emphasis.

Let’s have a look at the printed t-shirts.

My most favourite JUNGLE top! Oh, what joy, when I found an entire shop in London called JUNGLE. Pretty easy to find some gear that expressed my musical passions in there.

I had an orange one as well, but it seems to have escaped every single photo ever taken. How weird is that. But then again, weirder things have happened in JUngLEkalenderen. This is Roskilde, the most excellent sunny year of 2005 where Ohoi! was playing.

The JUNGLE t-shirt goes out to meet other t-shirts. Much joy. Tim Driver pretends he feels, you know, whatever, man, chicks just dig me.

F.U.K.T. bass player Lars behind the decks, appropriately wearing a F.U.K.T. t-shirt in case someone gets their brain whacked out of their skull by all that bass and forgets who he is. This is the Infiltrata party, DNBZone at Culture Box, in 2006.

Look at thiiiiiis! So, I was moving flats, and we are wearing matching JUNGLE t-shirts to rise to the challenge of the hard work ahead. /That's what friends are foooooooor.

And here we go again. Some months later I was getting ready for the second move, and Svingsen made these t-shirts for the occasion. Jungle Movers Inc. Friiiiiiiieeeends.

This t-shirt! Most awesome, worn bu Sulu! A deliberate provocation all wrapped up in glitter! Much like the man himself. This is RAW (and it says DUMB).

The one like Kristobal sporting a t-shirt from Dansk Sound Clash Mesterskab 2005. Lion an' everythin'. Pretty junglistic.

If you really wanna wear that, that's the way to do it, Laura! Looking sharp, on our way to the very hot DNBZone party with Infiltrata.

This t-shirt tries to grab everyone's attention. Hand signs thrown in for extra effect. Difficult crowd, it seems. Tim Driver's birthday at Rust, June 2009.

Is that a Sir Mix-A-Lot thing going on there? Never mind, here’s a fine collection of oldskool junglists at Nadsat, enduring the blitz.

And here they are, Chriszka and Mariii on their most excellent and sweaty oldskool London adventures where... NO WAIT! This is 10 1/4 years earlier, June 2004 - the Ohoi! party at Basement! See how nothing changes. Nice but confusing.

And here they are, Chriszka and Mariii on their most excellent and sweaty oldskool London adventures, having a SHORT break before throwing themselves out onto the dancefloor once again. NO WAIT! This is 10 years earlier! June 2004 – the Ohoi! party at Basement. See how nothing changes.
