The American Junglist

I met this weeks guest at a house party last year. Him and his crew throw some of the best raves in Florida. He also usually has cool stickers too and you know that's my shit. He is Co-founder of Hoodie Monks, Foundation.DNB, A Night of Drum & Bass (ANODNB), and resident DJ for Tuff Love Dubs/Force Recordings/Stepping Forward Records. Jason has been wrecking bassbins across the globe for 30 years. His turntablist style, born from hip-hop roots, has evolved into full-on tear-out madness. As a member of the legendary Liquid Sky Crew, he’s taken his sonic assault worldwide. He's a proper junglist and a PREMIUM selector. Representing ANO DNB and the Tampa Bay, please welcome Thee Joker.

It will never get old getting to know the people behind the music I'm playing. DNB is huge globally but it's still somehow kind of close in ways. I really love that. This weeks guests are among the best in the game for the techy, darker, minimal and rolling sounds of DNB. That's my shit. I think you guys will love it too.

This weeks guest is another pioneer in American Bass music culture. I first became aware of him during the beginning days of the internet.  Through the Phunckateck Crew: As a co-founder of this seminal San Francisco collective in 1996, he worked alongside early US jungle pioneers to establish the West Coast D&B scene. The raves looked legendary and his sets and mixtapes from this period were some of my favorite. Over the years I have had the good fortune to see him live a few times now and he ALWAYS rinses the place. Ed continues to push boundaries in all aspects of dance music. He has worked with and put out records with some the biggest names in the underground. No need to name drop. There are too many anyway.

This weeks guest has had a few exclusive mixes and this makes his firs episode of the podcast. Ryan is an East Coast underground rave LEGEND. He's been around forever! He's been throwing raves with some of the best crews in the game for over 25 years now. He owns what I think will soon be the best DNB label in the states ( I might be a little biased..I recently became his A&R)...lol. He also does graphics for a lot of rave crews around the country. If you have been raving for a minute, he proabably made the flyer for a few of the ones you attended. He's got a cool dog, he's a great friend, and his wife is pretty rad too!

This weeks guest was recommended by more than a few people over the last few years. In that time, I have had the pleasure to meet the man himself and I think we DJ'd a house party somewhere? He's a sweetheart and a PROPER junglist. He got his start at 14 when he discovered turntables and beat machines for the first time. Already a musician playing keys, guitar, trombone, and vocals, he felt right at home behind the decks . Influenced by his Jamaican roots and fully hooked after hearing Roni Size & Reprazent’s New Forms, he dove deep into Jungle, Drum & Bass. Now, all these years later, he's still at it and he's sicker than ever. Representing Sarasota Florida, please welcome DJ IMMINENTPlease enjoy❤️back next week-Thomas

I knew of Brandon for a while but didn't actually meet him until last summer at a party. Him and his wife are vibe and we have been friends since. In a culture that isn't known for people of the highest character, it's always such a treat to meet some great humans that love this music too. He is a Tampa Bay–based DJ, promoter, and founder of Orion Records, known for pushing the underground drum & bass scene across Florida. As a driving force behind Orion Records’ Drum & Bass Sessions, he has helped bring international talent and authentic DnB culture to local stages while supporting regional artists. Regularly appearing on lineups alongside respected names in the genre, he continues to build community and keep the sound system culture alive in Tampa Bay.

There is no shortage of DNB DJ's in Florida. It makes it that much harder for even the best DJ's to stand out and get proper bookings......its hard out here for a bitch! With that being said, this weeks guest has managed to make a name for herself  as a fire DJ. I'm also a fan of DNB DJ's that lean into Jump Up and rock that shit unapologetically. She's a fucking animal on the decks! Representing Team Underground and Orlando Florida, please welcome Alchmst. Links below.Please enjoy❤️Back next week-Thomas
