If anyone's interested and wants to hear more, I have a mix of 92/93 era Jungle [1]

Some rough mixes here and there (especially the first one) because it was live from a NYE event. But it suits the style of music, that era was so raw and fresh, the future was being invented right there! Very happy days :)

1) DJ SS - Intro

2) Higher Sense - Cold Fresh Air

3) Deep Blue - The Helicopter Tune

4) Roni Size - Time Stretch (93 Mix)

5) DMS & The Boneman X - Sweet Vibrations

6) Engineers Without Fears - Spiritual Aura

7) Omni Trio - Soul Promenade

8) Codename John - Kindred

9) Brainkillers - Screwface

10) Dubtronix - Fantasy (Remix)

11) M-Beat - Incredible

12) DJ Rap - Your Mind (Gimp/Steve Mix)

13) Asend & Ultravibe - What Kind Of World

14) LTJ Bukem – Horizons

15) Bruck Wild - Silent Dub

OP, the link you provided keeps redirecting me to the Google Play store to install the SoundCloud app, no matter what browser I use to open it. Could you please create a link which stays on the SoundCloud website? Not everyone wants to use apps on mobile just because some service wants to force you to use them.

In general please don't use Soundcloud to share music. It's complete shit. It doesn't even allow seeking unless you register for an account. At least Youtube is borderline usable without signing in.

Soundcloud is one of the last bastions of creator-driven music hosting - I’m happy to support the platform given how useful it is to the indie community. There’s a myriad of mixes and tunes on there that would simply never exist or be found on other platforms.

It’s awful, yes. But it’s also where everybody is. So, if you have a public profile you need to be on there.

Are you kidding? Not only does YT push undesired video bloat when you just want to listen to audio, it also is ad-driven/-ladden. Basically using YT for audio and Let's Play binging is an Alzheimer/Boomer marker, and the signal to leave the party.

but if you're not a boomer you wouldn't be using the default client.

Is using uBlock Origin or NewPipe, which have made YouTube an ad-free experience for more years now than I can remember, a “Boomer marker”? Granted, it isn’t unusual to see claims in tech circles that younger generations today are less aware of certain customizations or certain forms of pirating content, but it would be a real shame.
