Frequently Asked Questions

Who are you?
Hi! I'm Sawteeth. I'm an 18 year old South Korean who loves jungle.

What are your favorite jungle tunes?
That's hard to choose with so many rinsers out there but right now my no. 1 would be Remarc - R.I.P. It's the tune that single-handedly got me into jungle back in 2019. Arguably Remarc's best tune along with Sound Murderer Loafin' In Brockley Mix.
No. 2 would be The Chameleon - Links. Early Good Looking Records(I'd say until '97~'98) was full of absolute gold but Links is an exceptional tune. Love the arpeggiating synth and the mystique EP sample.
No. 3 would be Tom & Jerry - Airfreshner. I love it when the melancholic synth chords and ragga sample play together at the drop, a classic from '94!
No. 4 is Krome & Time - The Slammer. The title is self-explanatory, it's a slammer for sure! Incredible production for its time, I love ragga jungle from K&T but I prefer their hardcore stuff personally haha. Last but not least,
No. 5 would be Photek - Rings Around Saturn. Photek is legendary but this tune is out of this world and puts me right in the flow state. Highly recommend listening if you haven't.

What gear do you use?
Most of the work is done on stock M1 MacBook Air with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. I mostly use Logic Pro but I do use hardware from time to time when I feel like I just need that vibe. I have an Atari 520STE with 4MB of memory running Cubase 3.0 as an external MIDI sequencer. I also have few samplers including Akai S950, E-MU E6400 and Roland S-760. For processing I have a Mackie CR1604 mixer and some cheap rack effects. The Mackie drives signal really nicely, its built-in EQ is shitty but also full of character!

How do you make your album covers?
Most of the time I use a 3D software called Infini-D 4.5(1998) on Mac OS 9(emulated with Sheepshaver). The UI is a bit intimidating at first glance but the key concepts are pretty much identical to those of modern softwares such as Blender. I also use Bryce 3D from time to time but not that much these days.

Do you DJ?
Yes! I used to host my own monthly show on a local internet radio Visla FM. Now I occasionally play at small venues in Seoul with my friends haha. Unfortunately I can't play your dubs or newly released tracks as I only play vinyl for now, I'm sorry!

I want to collab with you, are you open?
I mostly only work with my friends but still feel free to send me a message. I will listen to it.

I want to submit my tunes for a release on Jungle Fatigue Records. Are you open?
The submissions are closed as of now but I will make an announcement if that changes.

Why did you delete your YouTube channel?
I deleted it because I wanted to focus on making music. I felt like I was wasting too much time caring about the responses haha.

I have a question/problem with my physical order. What should I do?
Please contact me via e-mail and let me know of the details. I will do my best to help you.

Is there a jungle "scene" in Korea?
Not really, it's a very very niche genre here. However Planet Turbo crew have been playing a lot of good jungle in Itaewon, Seoul in recent years. Big up Planet Turbo!
