🐿️ Skankin’ Squirrel

Somewhere deep in the breakbeat backwoods, a squirrel got into a stash of old jungle dubplates and never looked back.

Skankin’ Squirrel is a full-throttle jungle banger where bluegrass fiddle loops dance over chopped Amen breaks, and an annoyingly catchy squirrel vocal scats, chants, and squeaks like it’s headlining a barn rave inside a treehouse.

The energy is chaotic but precise — like Cotton-Eye Joe got a reload in a pirate radio station run by woodland creatures on too much caffeine.
The drops are thick. The bass wobbles with the raw funk of a moonshine-powered subwoofer. 

What to expect:

High-speed breakbeats, barn-fried and bass-battered

Bluegrass fiddle licks chopped and reversed into jungle stabs

A talking squirrel who’s maybe possessed by a jungle DJ from 1994

Fiddle leads, rodent vocal hooks and booyaka bass.

The uncontrollable urge to skank like you’ve got paws and a tail


Genre: Jungle / Bluegrass Jungle / Viral Breakbeat Rodentry
BPM: 165
Vibe: Unhinged. Hilarious. Wildly skankable.
