Celebrating its 30th anniversary, 24 Karat Recordings — the legendary jungle imprint helmed by Danny Styles — proudly announces the release of “Teaching’s”, the powerful new EP from Danny Jenk.
“Teaching’s” is a homage to jungle’s foundation while showing exactly where the sound is heading next. Across the project, Danny delivers razor-sharp break manipulation, heavyweight sub pressure, and the unmistakable vibe that has defined his production style. Each track feels like a lesson in rhythm, culture, and craft — a reflection of decades of jungle history distilled through a modern lens.
With its combination of deep musicality, dancefloor bite, and true 24 Karat flavour, “Teaching’s” stands as one of Danny Jenk’s strongest releases to date and a perfect addition to the label’s iconic catalogue.
A must-hear for fans of authentic, rolling, golden-era-inspired jungle with a 2025 edge.
