As someone who was so non-conformist in the 90s that he refused to listen to the music for non-conformists, I am constantly surprised that jungle doesn't sound the way it's named. Every time I expect EDM with Afro-Caribbean percussion, like bongos and steelpans and marimbas, realize it's nothing like that and promptly forget what jungle sounds like until the next revelation.

While not a perfect match, Ragga Jungle is a subgenre that hits the afro carrib mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yiLR4IAByc

I asked in response to another comment[0] above somewhere but do you have any recommendations for more recent producers/djs on the ragga jungle sound?
