their own biography
the whole biography
Deeply rooted in a lifelong passion for sound, Adred (Adam Baker) has carved out a highly respected space within the global drum and bass and jungle communities. His musical journey is profoundly inspired by his late father, a musician known affectionately as Kimba, whose enduring legacy instilled an early and permanent reverence for the craft of music-making. Eschewing standard, cookie-cutter templates, Adred’s production style is characterized by a meticulous, highly textured approach. Favoring a dynamic workflow that leans into the rich analog warmth of tools like the ASM Hydrasynth, Arturia, and Eventide processing, he builds sonic environments that are as cinematic as they are heavy. This dedication to deep, rolling atmospherics, complex breakbeat manipulation, and heavyweight sub-bass naturally caught the attention of drum and bass royalty, leading to a permanent home on Goldie's seminal Metalheadz label. With a substantial and growing catalog on the imprint, Adred's output represents the true vanguard of modern jungle. Whether in the studio or behind the decks, his work is a testament to an unwavering commitment to the genre's underground ethos—delivering music built for massive sound systems, yet intricate enough for deep headphone listening.Their RA profile lists Metalheadz, Soul:r, Dispatch Recordings, 31 Records and 3 more.Recently at KEYBAR · often with Goldie, Anónima, LOKA, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
jaql is a stalwart member of the bubbling jungle scene in NYC. Through a common thread of break beats, texture seeking and wobbly basslines she is keen on world building via her sets. She runs a party series titled ‘Jaywalking’ which grew out of a deep yearning to hear more jungle on local dance floors. Beyond platforming local and name brand jungle DJs, Jaywalking also looks to foster the sound in new ways, inviting people who don't normally play jungle to interpret the sound. She is a member of 123, a collective and DIY venue based in Brooklyn hosting a wide range of events from weeknight socials to full blown raves featuring 123’s well-loved basement soundsystem. She has supported Tim Reaper, Dwarde, Sully, Dev/Null, CCL, Objekt and many more spangled line ups in recent years.Recently at H0L0, Honey's, Bossa Nova Civic Club · often with Don-Ri, Just Jeff, DMVU 140 SET, none of them here that night
