Altotronic – Jazmatica (2025)

Altotronic returns with Jazmatica, a heavyweight jungle cut that pays homage to the old skool while pushing forward with razor-sharp production. Rolling at 174 BPM, the track blends deep sub pressure, punchy breakbeats, and atmospheric textures that nod to the golden era of ’90s jungle. With its raw energy and immersive sound design, Jazmatica is built for both the underground dancefloor and the modern drum & bass landscape.

Released under Jazmatica Records, this track captures the essence of future-facing jungle music while staying rooted in tradition.
