I think what he's trying to communicate to you is that Jungle is a style
that has evolved over time into a genre that some people like and pursue an
interest in. At some point they may put out music that they feel would be a
worthwhile addition to the vocabulary and history of Jungle. These are
people who are fans and artists to whom the term "Jungle" is more than a
label or buzzword. What that "more" actually consists of is a matter of
taste and interest, neither of which you are likely to find at Tower.

p.s. More electro, please.
