  1. 8.0 |   The Arts Desk

    It’s a belter, steaming with energy, a zesty mash-up of reggae, ragga and jungle’s invigorating percussive clatter

  2. 8.0 |   Mojo

    An unapologetic blast of tough breakbeats, deep bass and roots consciousness. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   Clash

    Dubstep with the dub left in
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    Regardless of the moniker he uses, the ferocity and focus of his sound never wavers. Jungle Revolution is a thrilling fusillade of headstrong breakbeats, warped basslines and some mighty vocal chants

  5. 8.0 |   All Music

    It's just natural to explain the album's worth with an old-school exclamation like "massive"
    Read Review

  6. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    If modern rave culture doesn’t have room for an album of hectic toasting, Zebedee bass sproing, 150bpm breakbeat mania and lush lighters-out reggae intervals... well, it does have room

    A satisfying, sociable affair
    Read Review

  8. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    He’s reviving the jungle genre, uniting clattering breakbeats with deep dub bass and reggae sounds

  9. 6.0 |   The Observer

    Congo Natty's commitment to Jah and revolution, meanwhile, increasingly colours his take as the album unfolds. But this is a timely, committed rewind

  10. 6.0 |   Uncut

    A lively affair underscored by dubstep retoolings of dancehall shakers. Print edition only

  11. 6.0 |   Q

    Represents an ongoing ongoing mission to integrate jungle and reggae into a unified sound. Print edition only

  12. 6.0 |   The Skinny

    Jungle Revolution may not herald a new century, but it’s a concise, infectious mashup of some of the most vital genres that emerged from 90s club music

  13. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    Although there are plenty of adrenaline-infusing moments on Jungle Revolution, Congo Natty fails to keep up the momentum throughout
