The American Junglist

AJS#147 RAYDIUM x SOULJUNK

The first time I became aware of Nate( Souljunk), he was doing a dnb set at a waterpark and I remember thinking how awesome it would be to DJ at a waterpark and eat free hotdogs all day. That was 3 or 4 years ago now? The time is flying. Since then I talk to Nate pretty often and I've become a fan of his music and him as a human. He's a total vibe.The last time he was in Orlando I got to meet his friend Parker (Raydium) and can confirm, also a good human and a vibe when they came to play for Claudia and the Introspective crew. They tore the place to shreds,Intro was packed,  everyone had a wicked time! These two write music and DJ a lot together  now and I can see why. They sound amazing! Representing Nashville Tennessee, Please welcome Raydium & Souljunk     

AJS#146 KeeCode

I first met this weeks guest at a festival last year. I thought he was pretty great DJ and we hit it off right away. I wouldn't find out for a few more months that he was also a talented MC. I have had the pleasure of having him grace the Mic for me more than a few times. He's even gone on the road with me when I play out of town. He's the best! Representing Orlando Florida, please welcome Keecode Please enjoy❤️Back next week -Thomas 
 

AJS#145 KO.D

I met this weeks guest over the summer after subscribing to his Youtube Channel a few years  ago now I think?  It's pretty fun to be out here and meeting passionate people that build platforms for the love of this music and our culture. He's been documenting South Florida DNB for a while. You can hear his hometown's influence in his mixtapes and we just love that shit!

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.
