The mine music one is great. Think it's the last clip.

'Why cant we stay together' by timmy thomas always sounded to me like it could be a DKC song.

There's a particular 'on-hold' music I keep hearing when I ring clients which could easily be a DKC level.

Is there a FCT-style spotify list of these? I love music that sounds like Donkey Kong Country.

xpost: balearic house (of which mark barrott - see prev post is exemplary) is a good start. Maybe try skimming through the label Permanent Vacation (eg John Talabot, and their label comps) and certain stuff by producers like axel boman
