There are many reasons why DJ Hybrid has quickly joined contemporary jungles top tier. His A&R skills as displayed through his own Audio Addict, Deep in the Jungle and Boom 93 imprints, his huge and ever-growing discography including multiple full-length albums, his rinse-out sets as a selector... You get the picture. Alongside multiple DJ Hybrid originals - ranging from the moody Going Back to the tear-out Liberation and hitting all waypoints between - we see the full glory of jungle music on show. Cuts from legends like Tenor Fly, Top Cat, Marvellous Cain and Bizzy B sit alongside the new skool carriers of the torch like Lens, RMS and Toby Ross, as Hybrid fuses the elements that make jungle one of the most significant musical styles the UK has produced. And even thats description is just a fraction of what this selector has put together. This is DJ Hybrids vision of the state of the craft of jungle in 2025. And, sincerely, its not to be slept on.

Not many DnB artists have multiple all-genres Beatport number ones. In fact, currently, there's just one name on that list: the musically multifarious duo Phibes. And now they're back on Jungle Cakes, following up their gritty emcee-led skank-out 'Argument Done', with another street-hardened riddim. From the neo-classic strings and bars intro, 'Ride or Die' makes its presence felt. And by the time the saw-edged bass and popping drums join the party, it's game over. This is 2026 drum 'n' bass from producers who know exactly how to connect with listeners and ravers. For licensing & label enquiries, please contact Martin Flex: martin@hotcakesmusic.com

Euphonique's dancehall-referencing, Mad Sam-voiced, 420 anthem has been a fan favourite ever since it's first outings on dub. And now, alongside the original, three new school junglist champion producers have had their chance to deliver their own spin on the stems. Conrad Subs gives us huge intro and a hardstep-flavoured rinse out. Dazee twists the track into steel-toed militant territory. And Zapya adds a dose of screwface grot to the sounds. You won't be able to pick just one, you'll want all the flavours. For licensing & label enquiries, please contact Martin Flex: martin@hotcakesmusic.com
