As mentioned in that thread, listening to lots of downtempo made the algorithm point me towards this mix and this YouTube channel:
I played out a lot of the great @Ambiance mixes. Here are some favs beyond any of the "Jungle Tekno" series:
Mouly Studio Set (1995): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luvNycgEySg
DJextreme Smooth Grooves Vol 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_Rs5qbOPfU

LTJ Bukem Unknown Set (1995): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sVl9WtBP14
LTJ Bukem presents HARDCORE Volume 12: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huGpZ4sqtcg
Peshay Studio Set (1996): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JK8ilaPZbKE
And many more I'm sure I'm missing.
My latest Youtube find is the @MrFredericks channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/TomFredericks). He's started uploading incredible mixes too. Like these two:
Blu Mar Ten Studio Set 14 (1997): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrhZ6s3d0uE&t=3134s
Wax Doctor A Brief History (1994-1997): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iHSwYSXkPk&t=2116s
Still making my way through his channel.
However, the absolute thing on there is all these radio rips of LTJ Bukem's Cosmic Show on KISS FM. There are dozens on here with Bukem himself on the mic. A bit low quality and radio-y, but it gains a charm the more you listen to it.
Either way, it's an absolute glossary of the best tracks and artists from the era which you can follow up on if you want to go deep. Here's a great one:
What are your DnB favs, especially from the classic era?
