Jungle pioneer General Levy brings ‘Incredible’ to Bangkok this October

You already know the hook, even if the name draws a blank. ‘Incredible’, the 1994 track General Levy records with producer M-Beat, is the first jungle tune to break the UK top 10, peaking at number eight and hanging around the charts for 12 weeks. Three decades on, it still empties the bar and packs the floor. Now the man himself comes to Bangkok, again.

General Levy plays BLOQ on October 2, the Thai date on his Incredible Asia Tour, which also stops in Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam and Bali. He grows up in Park Royal, west London, on reggae, ska and sound system culture, works the mic from his teens and builds a name toasting over dancehall long before jungle comes calling.

That crossover moment costs him, though. After ‘Incredible’ takes off and Levy tells The Face he ‘runs jungle’, a committee of scene DJs effectively freezes him out, and the story only gets better in the retelling. These days the grudge is ancient history and the track is a rave staple, wheeled up worldwide.

So what does a night with him look like? Quickfire toasting, a rig turned right up and a room that knows every word.

Just one catch. General admission tickets for the Bangkok show are not live on local platforms yet, so keep an eye here and we’ll flag it the second they drop.
