Meanwhile, back in the States, we here at Pop Stand central have been thinking about to records about the jungle out there, both the urban variety and the leafy, viney, creepy-crawly kind.

These records tend to be highly dance-able, so apply some bug spray, grab your machete, and proceed to boogie.

And please add more titles to the list if you think of some.
