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

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

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.
