AJS#106 R4NS0M

I was lucky enough to be a dnb raver in Washington DC and Baltimore during  the late 1990's and early 2000's. It was only years later that I came to realize how extra special that period was for DC dnb and its own roots and culture. This weeks guest played an integral part in building a lot of that. It's really humbling to share this one with ya'll. Please welcome, R4NS0M. Originally hailing from the storied Washington DC drum & bass scene, Boston’s R4NS0M has been at the forefront of the American drum & bass movement since its early days. Over the course of his career, He’s performed at legendary events like Buzz, Ultraworld, Resonate, Eklektic, Platinum, Respect, Elements, and Cadence, and crafted mixes for Toronto’s iconic Prophecy FM and Winslow’s Bad Snares Anonymous. As a producer, he’s released music on such labels as Moving Shadow, Ohm Resistance, Soul Deep, Detached Audio, 1 More Thing, WiddFam, and 4 Corners Music, and worked with a number of artists, including Sinthetix, Corrupt Souls, UFO!, Ben Rolo, Fake, Dvalue and Metcalf. With decades of work under his belt, and a decidedly individual take on the drum-n-bass sound, R4NS0M continues to cement one of the more unique legacies in the history of the genre as a creator and pioneer. Tracklist & links below. Please enjoy❤️Back next week-Thomas

AJS#105 Yamatai Records Presents Omen

This weeks guest comes to us by way of Yamatai Records all the way from Los Angeles California. There's a reason one of the best labels in DNB right now tapped him to make this mix and carry their flag here in the States. I fully believed he was from the UK...didn't even consider that he might be American. His production values are sonically devastating. Just miles ahead of most. Elite, proper shit for the true heads.His catalogue of unsigned music is fucking wicked. This mixtapes tracklist is fucking mental!  Buckle your seat belts, strap your helmets on and let's prepare for takeoff. Please welcome, Omen. links and tracklist below.

AJS#104 Mister Shifter

In almost every case, I know this weeks guest, have met them somewhere before, or at the very least, I'm familiar with their work in some regard. This week, I'm humbled to say I didn't know anything. It turns out being one half of Random Movement, I did know a thing or two about our guest. That was a long time ago and his Random Movement days are now behind him. With that being said, the labels you'll find him on are of serious consequence in our community. Representing Columbus Ohio, please welcome Mister Shifter. Lean everything about him here: https://linktr.ee/mistershifter?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=46597250-5c03-4e34-a048-87e3b1200796

Phantom 45 Presents Crook County 6

  This month we go off the roller path and take a side quest deep into the glitched out dubby jungle. This one's for that kid in the back of a dark warehouse that smoked way too much PCP.

AJS #100 Raket

  I'm a big fan of this weeks guest. He's a force for all things DNB. Running both Wicked Jungle Records and ION drive, he's got 2025 planned all the way out. Please welcome, Raket. He has been spreading the sound of Jungle and Drum & Bass since 1997. Anywhere you could find good quality Drum & Bass, Raket has been there, in the crowd, on the Mic, or behind the decks. In 2014 Raket joined with a longtime friend, the artist Gridlab, and formed the production duo Self Aware. They hit the scene hard releasing on underground D&B labels from the UK with several consecutive Jungle and D&B releases. After the frustrating experience they had releasing music on underground labels, in late 2015 they decided to form their own label, Wicked Jungle Records. The label launched with the release of Wicked Jungle Volume I in January 2016. The compilation showcased a varied palette of underground Jungle and Drum & Bass. Wicked Jungle quickly became known as a go to label for classic styled Jungle tunes. By 2023 Wicked Jungle’s growth became hard to contain within the one label and Raket rebranded his sub label Ion Drive, which was primarily used as an outlet for Raket and Gridlab to experiment off genre, in the retro sounds of Electro, House and Techno.Once rebranded though, Ion Drive became the outlet for all things Drum & Bass. This allowed Wicked Jungle breathing room to focus on thesounds of classic and contemporary Jungle, Drumfunk, Hardcore, and other styles of heavily chopped break beats, that more closely align with the original sounds of Wicked Jungle Productions back in the 90's.This brings us to 2024 where Raket has relocated from sunny South Florida to Maryland. Hehas a full year of hard-hitting Jungle and Drum & Bass releases lined up for both labels,featuring artists from across the globe, as well as several from himself. You can hear new mixesdropping often on his Ion Drive Mix Series as well as pop up live streams and guest mixes onradio shows around the globe. There is no stopping someone as passionate about Jungle andD&B as Raket.most upfront in Drum & Bass experimentation. Links belowPlease enjoy❤️Back next week-Thomas

AJS#98 Toyacoyah

I haven't had the opportunity to meet this week's guest yet but I hope to at some point. She's a whole vibe and my new favorite DJ. I have been playing this mix almost every day since I got it 2 months ago. The amount of raw soul coming through is really special. Please welcome Toyacoyah. She's is an indigenous DJ known for blending ancestral rhythms with modern breakbeats. She began her DJ career in the late 90s at the University of Oklahoma, curating beats for her own drum and bass radio show. After moving to Austin, Texas, she became a resident DJ for Mental Note, a night dedicated to liquid funk and jazzy drum and bass. Now based in Chicago, she continues to share her passion for fast-tempo music across the Midwest. Toyacoyah has performed alongside top producers like Addison Groove, Luke Vibert, LTJ Bukem, Roni Size, and Tim Reaper, delivering sets that span electro, breaks, juke, jungle, and more.
