2020 jungletrain.net welcomes Tempo to the family!

posted by darkstar

Tempo :: Ruination Radio :: Even Wednesdays @ 17:00 - 19:00 MT / 23:00 - 01:00 GMT







Following a childhood filled with music (band leaders and music instructors for grandparents, guitar lessons, and deep infatuations with hip-hop, grunge, metal and punk, respectively), Erik Runion aka Tempo discovered the electronic music world as the Y2K fervor steadily peaked and abruptly fizzled at the turn of the millennium. Although house and trance served as the initial introduction to the rave/club scene, jungle and drum’n’bass quickly took over and bridged the gap from rock and rap to electronic dance music and DJ culture.



Active involvement in the New Mexico rave scene led Tempo to share stages with numerous... more

jungletrain.net is proud to present: Baddesley - jungletrain.net promomix august 2020



LA Johnson and Baddesley are at it again, this time with a back to back edition for the August and September promomix! Hailing from Birmingham, UK, Skutta Records have been going strong for 10 years, gracing the jungletrain.net airwaves with their instantly recognizable selection for the past 6.



For this diptych, Baddesley takes the lead with a freestyle mix, a selection spanning the last decade in the Skutta corner of drum and bass. The mix takes off with some lighter, longing, mellow beats, gliding off that slippery slope towards darker realms, stopping short of that moment where the amens would begin, were it not for time running out!

Scooter :: "The Way Back" :: Even:Sundays @ 19:00 - 20:30 EDT / 01:00 - 02:30 CEST





Image by Chris Blackman Photography, modified from original.



Native to Columbus, OH, Scooter has been DJing since the age of 14. Beginning with the sounds of Jungle in his early years, he grew to appreciate the depth of EDM and eventually incorporate a variety of Breakbeat styles into his sets. His passion for exploring and featuring different sounds didn't stop there, as he also owns and operates an expressly jungle vinyl label, Labelless Records.



For Scooter, his goal has been to support the Jungle community whenever feasible, and with his Label in their 14th release since 2015, the focus is simple; work with the best... more

jungletrain.net is proud to present: Darkstar - jungletrain.net promomix july 2020



Jungletrain stalwart Darkstar returns 12 months after his previous promomix for 2020's July installment of the monthly series.



A love letter to the versatility of the amen break and modern takes on classic methods, this month's promomix takes a circuitous route in telling an unorthodox story with many curious twists and turns. In listening to this mix Darkstar hopes you will enjoy the detours and find hidden gems in layers you may not have thought would work together. After all, the little detours in life are where we find the things more important than what we're looking for.

jungletrain.net is proud to present: Selector X - jungletrain.net promomix june 2020



Nothing beats ushering in summer with a mix that is 100% FIRE. We searched, and found Selector X prepared to curate a selection and blend it together with impeccable mixing.



Selector X joined jungletrain.net in may 2018, but has been on hiatus while he's getting his studio back in order. To this end, he would like to share the following:



"Special greets to all Jungletrain headz and jungle music lovers. After 6 of the longest months ever, RedRockers Studio v2.0 is finally being reassembled. It's all been in storage; haven't even had my decks set up... so this mix is the product of the FIRST creative sesh I've had since December 2019. Feels good man.

SubSynk was first inspired to DJ after attending the DIY night in Hull back in the mid 90s and has been mixing ever since. Over the last 20 years he has experimented with all kinds of beats and has played in several different clubs all over the UK.

2020 Goodbye SoulJunglist

posted by arnie

With great sadness we learned that on May 21st 2020, Mark SoulJunglist Ingersoll passed away. Mark was a familiar face in the dnb community, a longtime JT listener and member of the crew.



Mark traveled around the world to visit parties and friends, frequently at the same time, and wherever SoulJunglist went, his positive aura would light up the room. He loved life, family and his friends.



Rest in peace SoulJunglist, and we wish strength to your family and friends.

jungletrain.net is proud to present: Binz - jungletrain.net promomix may 2020



Almost 2 years since his last JT promomix offering, Binz brings you a mix of dark, dubby, head nodding, body moving, and soundboy killin’ selections from some of his favorite artists (whether they’re bigger name producers or just underrated). Keeping the dancefloor in mind, Binz only lets his foot off the gas to showcase some great tunes that rightly deserve the extra attention.



The 13Crowz Radio co-host, alongside Jim Crow aka Jonny 5, have been playing together on jungletrain.net for over 5 years with a diverse mix of styles ranging from Jungle, DnB, Halftime, Hip-Hop, and Footwork to name a few. This mix reflects some of those sounds you might hear Binz... more

2020 jungletrain.net welcomes DJ Synapse to the family!

posted by Psygn

DJ Synapse :: "Activate" :: Even Sundays @ 23:00 - 01:00 CEST







DJ Synapse's passion for electronic music grew from his roots as an energetic percussionist - playing drums in various genres of bands around his then-home of Memphis, Tennessee in the mid-90s. He soon discovered the local rave scene and quickly found a talent/love for drum and bass, spending hours of intense studio time honing his skills and playing local shows.



Returning to his native home of Columbus, Ohio in the early 2000s, he continued producing, mixing, and performing — both his core passion of drum and bass as well as hip hop. DJ Synapse has spent years since exploring the various genres and sub-genres of drum and bass/jungle, crafting... more
