Very true. Jungle puts too many limits on its form. Its helped
things to some degree through its history, but i think its hurting itself
more now...
Its pretty wack that this carries over to the states to such a huge degree.
95% of all jungle djs play strictly the allowed jungle. I guess its
because that's what you can get ahold of.

Yeah it is annoying. I don't even think people specifically get irritated,
its just that it never, or almost never happens. I think there's alot of
people
who are down to hear stuff mixed together, they just aren't
the diehard junglist.
