    We can't accept drum and bass we need jungle I'm afraid.

    Not sure if you're making a jungle Brothers reference to Amen break reference :)

    Got me started on watching University Challenge, and now Cosmic Pumpkin is one of my very few "must watch new videos right away" subscriptions on YouTube.

    I have to recommend digging into the story behind the person who used to upload UC episodes to YouTube before Cosmic Pumpkin, and the reason that they stopped uploading. Google "Dave Garda", I don't think anyone has done an authoritative writeup but it's a wild one.

    "what makes something jungle" -- mini documentary that starts with this clip and is packed with history and tracks

    The Amen break comes from a track called "Amen, brother" by The Winstons. So your assumption is mostly correct, but without the JBs reference

    I knew vague outlines of it from YouTube comments, now searched it up and found a reddit post that explains it more. It would be a bizarre story if it was fiction: uploading (and participating in) quiz telecasts, to faking one's identity and scamming people via charity, is such a weird pipeline. But real life's messy like that, I imagine he probably starting to upload things as a genuine fan originally, and then changed as a person over the course of the years to end up being a scammer.

    Amen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SaFTm2bcac

    The very best of jungle was "UK Apache with Shy FX - Original Nuttah". It got a bit of re-release for its 25th birthday (5 years ago) with an intro by Idris Elba.

    Original Nuttah was the last tune at a friend's wedding a few weeks ago. A great time was had by all.
