I bet it's a joke, besides,
Aphex is way more techno oriented than Jenkins, who has a big
drum'n'bass/jungle influence in his music (like Venetian Snares),
Aphex makes jungle-like tunes when it comes to tempo and drum rythmes,
but I'd never call em trully jungle,
while some dnb DJ's date to mix Squarepusher stuff into their sets
but saying on rips the other off... I dunno, lets call it influence :)
