Review: Rcola and JungleXpeditions is a combination that goes back to the heady days of jungle 15 to 20 years ago, and this nostalgia trip takes the form of 12 refined, stripped back and heritage-heavy cuts. It revives the dying art of jungle music that does a lot with very little, jungle music that shys away from over the top frills and brightly coloured extravagances. Just listen to 'Coded Riddim', which has a rolling bongo line over the top and bouncing bass stabs at the bottom; that's all that's needed to create a vibey little number with kindness in its heart and music in its soul. The amens come out on the darkness of 'Amen Meyer', the Caliber-esque licks on 'Latin Breeze' and the halftime steps on 'RPM'. Classic stuff.
