AJS#143 RECIPE

I first became aware of this weeks guest maybe 3 years ago? I heard there was this guy playing festivals in central Florida and  he mixed like a maniac.....Like A.M.C (it turns out John is fucking bananas🍌 🍌🍌on the decks) I got to see him at the  first Cybefunx hosted by Deejay Zion in Orlando. He smoked the place! Since then I have had the pleasure of getting to see him a few more times and even play a few events with him. John is the best!!!! Special human right here... Total vibe.

AJS#141 Tonto

This weeks guest is a force for positivity. People like him are what make rave communities in different parts of the country exciting and fun. Vibrant even. He writes for Best Drum & Bass, he throws raves with some of the most distinguished crews in his city, he has a popular Twitch channel, and he's just an overall vibe of a dude. Representing Proper Drum and Bass Chicago, please welcome Tonto. Links and tracklist belowThis  is an entirely acid (think 303 sounds from acid house at 174+ BPM) drum and bass mix dedicated to the Viva Acid crew in Chicago. Viva Acid is a cultural, social, and musical festival across select areas of the city that features multiple club nights that explore the history of this iconic sound, live panels of cultural mainstays in the rich music scene in Chicago. They also feature speakers, film, production workshops, and advice on networking in the city. Here are some of the featured topics: “Claiming Space, Shaping Culture” about how we can protext musical space and resist corporate takeover of these spaces, “Thriving Through Opposition: The Trans Experience”, and the “Ableton Playground” hosted by FEMME HOUSE.
Viva Acid occurs from Oct 2-5 2025 and will continue to run into the future. Consider connecting to the crew and lookout for recaps and recordings of some of these talks.
Please enjoy❤️back next week-Thomas

AJS#140 Reid Speed

Personally, my favorite DJ's are the ones that have a dedication to the craft. I'm pretty sure this weeks guest would be making mixtapes anyway. Even if nobody knew who she was. Her influence on American Bass Music culture can not be overstated. Her labels, Play Me and Play Me Too are known for a steady stream of dance floor bangers and have been for years. From Omen to LMNOP to Dialective, She has her finger on the pulse of our culture.  She's a premium selector and a fucking wicked DJ. Please welcome Reid Speed.

AJS#136 AnnGree

As a DJ who has been at this for a very long time, there aren't a whole lot of DJ's I'll stick around for after my set. With that being said, when this weeks guest is on the lineup, I'll stay.

Sometimes I forget how good my friends are and then I listen to their mixtapes. 3 mixes into this one and I remember why this weeks guest stays booked. The Dark one!

AJS#134 PopeJohn

I have to work really hard to be some semblance of "put together" I'm kind of a neurotic mess. Every time I see this weeks guest, I always admire how he's just effortlessly cool. That energy carries into in his music too. He's one of thoe people that just radiates positive energy. His music and his mixtapes have his own distinct Ruffneck jungle sound and we just love it. Representing the Tampa Bay, please welcome back PopeJohn.Please enjoy❤️Back next week-Thomas
