I recently got introduced to jungle music from venetian snares' album Detrimentalist, and I've been trying to find other Jungle artists, but so far I've only found Shitmat.
Any recommendations on artists/albums?

well, im no expert on jungle. so my recommendations could be off. but first and foremost, if you dont have "hangable auto bulb" by AFX, get that, its essential! and let's see. you should try "Alright!" by Bogdan Raczynski, its quite mental, and a really fun album. then there's go plastic by squarepusher, which you probably already know... oh also, "cavalcade of glee and dadaist happy hardcore pompoms" by Vsnares is great, especially if you like detrimentalist.

haha oh man it really is. after i wrote that i went and put it on. im actually still blasting side D as i write this. such a great album! i think his first couple of albums are supposed to be really heavy and insane, but i havent heard them. i just love that every song on this album is titled "alright!" and it really fits each song! so great. he has crazy recipe's on his website too. i heard a rumor that he composes all of his music on some shitty laptop or something. anyone know if this is true?

If you want to listen to jungle I suggest you go back to the source. I will come back here tomorrow and write some more about it. However, try and find some clips of releases on reinforced or moving shadow between '92 and '95. Pretty good place to start.

If you like Venetian Snares, you should pick up Rossz Csillag Alatt Született.

QFT, and I'd say the first 2 years or so of Metalheadz. And Motif. And early Droppin' Science. And Prototype.

Terminal 11 - Kaleidoscope Eyes. Not quite as harsh as Venetian Snares, but still very jungly and spastic.

Also explore the drum 'n' bass genre, the two are very closely related. If they are still hosted or seeded you should try googling "dnb delirium". I got just 3 or 4 of the packs last year and still haven't listened to everything on them. It's more music than I have time to listen to(it gets extremely boring if you only listen to this kind of music for a long period of time though).
Snares is more like breakcore or something. Though if that particular album has a classic jungle/dnb sound then pardon my mistake because I haven't heard it.
