What atmospheric DnB is my list missing?
New artists are welcome to showcase their music too!
Anyone know the origin of the break/sample used in this tune? Been trying to identify it for ages
Morning gang had this come up on shuffle play, who thinks this is a banger?
I make cool designs around dance music, have done genre explorations, jungle fever ect

The mix definitely samples “Wannabe” but there’s not track list listed. Any help??
I want to get more into jungle and want a good place to start. For genres like shoegaze loveless is kinda the iconic shoegaze album even if it lacks in some parts. im looking for a genre defining album that embodies what jungle is sounds like and the presses it’s made from
Hello everyone,
Another "34 years in the making" moment! :) On May 27 we're finally releasing "Bonus Remixes" by The Moog, on all digital platforms.
If you remember the original tracks, "Jungle Muffin" and "Rush Hour" on Delirious Recordings back in '92, this is for you. We’ve managed to pull together the old and the new:
The History: We found a remix by Rotor that was recorded in 1992 but never actually made it to vinyl. We've had it remastered for 2026.
The Grail: The Micky Finn Remix from 1992 is finally getting its first-ever digital release. No more hunting for expensive VG+ copies on Discogs just to play a clean version.
The Tribute: All "Jungle Muffin" remixes feature the legendary MC Conrad. After his passing in 2024, we wanted to make sure this release did justice to his legacy, with his share of royalties going to the MC Conrad Foundation.
The tracklist features remixes from Pete Cannon, Sikka, Obviously High, and more. Some previously only available on vinyl, and even more brand new.
Pre-order now on Beatport https://www.beatport.com/release/bonus-remixes/6817504
Appreciate any support or shares from the community. Keeping the '92 spirit alive, one floppy disk at a time!
Cheers!
Can't decide, either Sweet Vibrations (Kimble & Half Breed remix) or Good Old Days by Half Breed.
Flava D & Chef Boyarbeatz are cooking up for 3 years of Rumble in the Jungle!🎂
Who am I seeing out there??

Trying to find a track from a mix, which is listed as „Future Engineers - Movements“, however no such track exists. The tracks also doesn’t get recognized by shazam.
A comment suggested a pitched version of „Future Engineers - Cerulean Seas“, however the track only sounds kinda similar but not the same (even with pitching).
Sharing this was a gut punch this morning when I got the call from the other founder of PPJ…..
This doesn’t exactly fit the Production flair but it was the closest one I could find.
After a long digital foray, I am going back to playing my 90s hardcore and jungle records live at gigs. My ideal setup includes using a standalone sampler to trigger one shot sampler like dub sirens, vocal snippets, spinbacks etc.
Curious to hear if anyone is doing this and what you would recommend hardware wise. For context, I do not have experience with samplers so I think I would want something on the rudimentary side. Ideally with big squishy pads.
Right now I’m looking at the SP404 mkii but the buttons are tiny and I don’t love the idea of scrolling through scenes, though it seems like it might be the best option overall.
Any thoughts or ideas are greatly welcome, cheers!
EDIT: my phone did a weird AutoCorrect on the subject, it is supposed to say “DJ’s” not DJ S.

#Picks Of The Week (by u/lefuniname)
####1. Alias - Equanimity [Selfreleased]
Recommended if you like: Lukher, Laetho, RageMode
Aaand we're back!
First order of business, let's talk about my newest favourite discovery, Alias! (What's next, an artist named ID?)
1.1. General Greaves (2023 - 2026)
Ethan Jorge David Greaves, the London-born amalgation of names behind this particular project, has been punching above his weight for quite some time now - and not just because he's also literally a boxer! During his time as a student of Liverpool's Hope University, so about 2023, Ethan has not only participated in various RumRiddimzRun yard parties at the port city's very own Meraki, but has also officially started his production career. Mostly distributed by himself, he started showing off his productionary prowess online with plenty of originals and the occasional bootleg of the likes of Crystal's 'The Days' and Soundgarden's 'Black Hole Sun'. With 2025's 'Let It Blow' releasing on Warlock, he finally made the jump into the wide world of labels, opening the door for other imprints like LOCU or DUNXX' very own Twin X Collective to get him on board. Going through all of these, but especially the latterest, it's actually mad how much talent there is to discover in all of platforms Ethan has appeared on so far.
But more on that at another point in time - what's the deal with this new one then?
1.2. Equanimity
With an ominous mix of middle eastern flutes, staggered vocal chops searching for their home, and straight-up haunting vocals, Ethan slowly but surely introduces us to the world of Equanimity, before ripping the curtain open to unveil a full-scale orchestra, featuring gorgeous strings, brass, and powerful vocals, supported in its holistic efforts by powerful reese basses underneath. As if that wasn't enough of a stress test for our evenness of mind, Mr. Alias then brings out an even more fully unleashed wave of bass that's first teased in perhaps mind-meltdown-mitigating combination with the orchestra, before being fully let loose in the drop. With more layers and heaps more distortion than ever, the bass turns into a leviathan of sound design ripping through any- and everything in its wake, only to be interrupted by the response melody sharply concentrated into piercing stabs.
1.3. Conclusion
Cinematic, haunting, all-out (Eth-)annihilatory - this one is incredible!
Other techy things from this week:
####2. Gravitape - Carnival 💎 [Gunsta Records]
Recommended if you like: Magnetude, Ekwols, Rusty K
Next up, a talent I have been meaning to talk about for quite some time now: Gravitape!
2.1. Be kind, rewind (2021 - 2026)
Saint Petersburg based talent Stepanov Egor Andreevich is one of the sickest new names in the Neurofunk realm. However, once again, I am a bit handicapped in my ability to properly research this fan favourite of mine, due to the language and platform barrier most of the info about this Russian artist is hidden behind. For instance, I know that the Gravitape project goes back to 2021, when it debuted on TriaMer with the wonderfully Memtrix-inspired 'Arcade'. However, that double single is attributed to a certain Anton Sumarakov, who I cannot find a single other thing about. Maybe that's a misattribution? Or the project has changed hands since then? Or it used to be a duo? Something with clones? Or perhaps he just changed his name? I could not tell you!
So let's stick to what I can tell you then. After this first outing, the project took a bit of a hiatus, until finally reemerging in 2024, with a whole slew of releases on the ever-underrated High Resistance. Whether on his own or in collaboration with Rieger and Perimetre, whether on compilations like chapter two of the Nemesis saga or on solo releases - if you saw the name Gravitape, you knew you were in for a banger and some more. As a successful student of the Neuropunk Academy, he got closer to the attached umbrella of labels, i.e. Paperclip's Paperfunk (more like Gravit-ape-rfunk) and Tamrecords successor Neuropunk, laid down some smashers on various Neurobunker streams, and appeared on more and more lineups, but that's not even all! Labels like Gunsta and most recently TRCD's VTO Records sought to feature the gravitational ape and his now more and more cinematic, Magnetude-influenced productions, with the crowning jewel so far having been the In There EP from earlier this month. I was actually quite sad when I didn't have the capacity to feature him then, but luckily, the man kept the bangers flowing and brought us yet another reason to talk about him - Carnival on Gunsta Records!
2.2. Carnival
Drumroll please! With a captivating arrangement of marching drums, aggressively staccato violins, and incredibly effective vocalisation, this one opens the exhibitionary doors in an even more dramatic fashion than Zendaya's and Pattinson's latest flick. Kids screaming, crowd noises, a ghost train passing through, spaghetti western guitars tingling in the air - and a fast-approaching bassline making a dnbeeline towards us. A swift roar of the lion later, and we're thrown into the mix of catchy horror melodies and rather large lower end movements rhythmically chained to the melody that is the drop. This formula transcends these initial contraints quickly with a back and forth between short-breathed high-register vocals and its accompanying melody underneath, before returning to the safe haven of chaos and demolition.
2.3. Conclusion
A delightfully whimsical symphony of serious destruction. Can never get enough of this sort of melodic Neurofunk, so more please!
