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

Throwing in Bay Tremore, a legend on the demoscene. Demo is such a natural extension to jungle.

Biggest hit: Rocking steady - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V5xlLs-OQY

I also cannot get this track he made for a 1998 video game out of my head:

Tremors - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUKno5p9U04

Additionally, a lot of jungle music were produced on Amiga using the same tracker software as many demosceners (OctaMED, ProTracker, etc). Makes me curious of how many junglists were also active sceners :-)

For example Pete Cannon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1eA-FGJ8B0

More recent livesets using dual Amigas, from the Amiga Junglism channel:
