FFF

Dutch producer and DJ Tommy de Roos has been mutating jungle and hardcore as FFF since the 1990s. Piling noise and distortion on top of intense, complex breakbeats and gargantuan basslines, he was one of the early innovators of the breakcore scene, as well as its dancehall-influenced raggacore subgenre. His work throughout the 2000s, such as the Planet Mu-issued 12" The Feeling, consisted of violently ecstatic bastardizations of rave, happy hardcore, and ragga-jungle, and he pushed this sound further with subsequent full-lengths for the Japanese label Murder Channel, including 2011's 20.000 Hardcore Members Can't Be Wrong. Since the middle of the 2010s, he's generally toned down the distortion and produced more atmospheric, focused tracks, leading a revived jungle scene along with producers and DJs such as Tim Reaper and Coco Bryce. He also fuses footwork and jungle on releases like 2023's Eternal Mind.
