The sampled Reese bass was a sensation in the nascent jungle scene, as up to this point jungle bass lines were typically pure sine tones without harmonics above the fundamental, for instance sine subs and 808 basses. The Reese bass features harmonics above the fundamental, which gives the bass a bigger, fuller sound, and the rumbling movement of these harmonics give the sound a sinister feel all of its own.
Other famous jungle tracks that sample the Reese bass include Remarc’s “R.I.P. (DJ Hype Remix)” and Ed Rush’s “The Force Is Electric (Remix).”
