I know this is probably some off-hand joke. But do you know some tracks that combine jungle and house? Doesn't have to be old-school jungle but just some breaky beats.

Great tracks - thanks!

There was a bit of a trend in the UK over the last 12 to 18 months, to mix breakbeats and house. Early 90s house (particularly from Europe) used sub bass and breaks quite often before all the formulas got more settled. The trouble is the influences don’t quite match up very well between Jungle and House.

I can't say I have ever heard that. This might sound weird but I think Phonk music is probably the closest you can get since Jungle and Phonk both use deep baselines and sample dub/hiphop as well as Phonk having a House-y bpm and driving bass kicks.

"True" jungle isn't very housey due to the heavy snares, but there's lots of housey drum & bass. Look for Hospital Records and explore out from there.

Thanks :) Hospital has been a favorite of mine for years now. Although I haven't checked out what they released in recent times.

PS: Just saw that there is a Bop x Subwave album going to be released. Kinda excited for that

If you take house music and replace the drums with jungle-like off-timed rhythms but keep the same tempo, you more or less end up with electro.
