Well this is not really jungle, it's more experimental breakbeat. There's no real structure, no themes or even basslines or melodies. Drums and sound effects which follow a simple chord change.

It starts at half tempo, which sounds nicely low fi, nice resonant snare, although a bit too much in the background. Sound effects here are nice, bit overcompressed overall, lack of body.

The second part (from 3:30 onwards) I like much less. The dnb starts kicking in here, but the compression is really overdone, which completely ruins the sound. There is also almost nothing happening underneath the enormeous reverb wash and nervous monotone snare hits. Lots of distortion everywhere.

The end gets a bit better but the nervous snare is reintroduced and the distortion layer remains.

Notice at the very end how the sound opens up as the compressor finally goes into release. It's like the track is taking a breath of fresh air.

This is a specific style which will appeal to some, but you should definitely ease up on the compressing.

strange track, very experimental indeed.
apart from the beats the intro is like totally empty. It really needs some sound there. The beats are a bit monotone actually, so that's a lot less experimental. that ghost snare sound ok, but you could vary this on with another ghostsnare or something. Maybe when there's a melody this wouldn't be necesary. So deffintly some filling there. The hard part is nice an hard, but again to monotone, not enough variatons and filling there. Also, there's like on big distrtion in the whole track, you shoud clear that or make it come up less often. Could become a good track, but there's still some work on it.
I'm curious what you're gonna make of it.
