i’m no expert but i think jungle music is rooted in a lot of other music, especially modern day techno and that wave of nostalgic pop, and people often disregard the core of this genre. a personal favorite of mine is Goldie.

These are music with cultural ethos, perspective, and intent. I remember juke music being really big in Chicago where I was born and raised. The energy around juke parties was unmatched. Looking at it compositionally I love all the samples they appropriate plus the loop-ability of juke music is great for mixing. Try to play some in every set. In general, I love culturally poignant & ethnically influenced electronic or ambient music utilizing appropriated material into something surreal. Good art should have an honest perspective. Been wanting to throw an ambient party recently... Some great artists include Aho Ssan, Klein, and Elysia Crampton.

I love to create a long ass list of mixes to listen to on YouTube (and pray that an angel has put the tracklist in the comments)
One thing I have noticed in the comments of DJ mixes, is people's pure amazement that a DJ has mixed a wide range of genres together.
I picked up DJ'ing two years ago and with that, a keen interest in the history of genres and where they originated. To be fr, the majority of music we listen to today was created by black people who were innovative against all odds. I truly believe that rhythm is intrinsic to that creative process and the reason why a lot of these genres blend so well is because of common drum patterns and melodies.
For example, I went to a salsa night and felt moved by the drum patterns of the songs being played, as they were reminiscent of the music I grew up on (Highlife, Ghana). This can be traced back to the slave trade, where Africans were enslaved and transported from Africa across to the Caribbean, taking those rhythms with them and creating new sounds that established this tangible sonic connection.
So when we witness DJ's mix Jersey Club, with Reggaeton, to Baltimore Club to Grime, to Jungle, Baile funk and back again... that's lightwork! Black people pioneered all these genres, infusing those intrinsic rhythms and unknowingly creating a formula that makes all these musical genres blend so perfectly.
So the next time you listen to a multi-genre DJ set (I'd recommend Zack Fox's Boiler Room to start) just know you are getting schooled in BLACK HISTORY!

Top Recs from @chiqui
back when Gwen Stefani was cool, she created the brand Harajuku Lovers in the later 2000s— the perfumes were only being made from like 2008 - 2013, and luckily, i found a seller with a fresh and never used G by the Sea. She‘s got a sort of Chanel-ish coconut smell, and it’s heavenly!!!!
