This is a collection of some the best new (and some old classic) 160bpm tunes that are driving a return of the Amen with serious flex and feel to to beat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wozowski.com\/mixes\/Ruff_Smooth_Woz.mp3\">Ruff with the Smooth &#8211; 1hr+ of 160bpm Jungle and Atmospheric D&amp;B<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">J Majik &#8211; Red Moon<br>Acid_Lab &#8211; Combination Dub (Tommy Badman Mix)<br>Dead Man&#8217;s Chest &#8211; Open Your Eyes<br>Digital &#8211; Down Under<br>Acid_Lab &#8211; Trip 2 Mars<br>Acid_Lab &#8211; Interstellar (Kodama Remix)<br>MJT &#8211; Panacea<br>Stunna &#8211; Last September<br>Carter &#8211; Twenty One Thoughts<br>Rainforest &#8211; Villalongin<br>Dilinja &#8211; The Angels Fell<br>Bug Kann &amp; The Plastic Jam &#8211; Made in 2 Minutes (Origin Unknown Remix)<br>DJ Swift &amp; DJ Zinc feat Steve B &#8211; It&#8217;s Time<br>Fracture &#8211; Chessington<br>David Holmes &#8211; Gone (PFM Remix)<br>Future Bound &#8211; Sorrow<br>Bjorn &#8211; Inside My Soul<br>Dust-e-1 &#8211; One on One<br>Source Direct &#8211; Black Rose<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To many the Amen break is the defining beat of D&amp;B and Jungle.
