The American Junglist

For the next few weeks we  will get to talk about Jacksonville Drum n Bass! It's hard not to say a lot because Jax has such a vibrant DNB culture going back over 25 years now. This weeks guest is one of the hardest working people in his city making the culture happen and has been for a long time. His crew (JAX DNB) is an institution not only in Florida but the East Coast and abroad. Their influenc...

For his second mix in this series, Jeff  recreates his winning set from the 2nd round of the Black Box Denver DNB battle.  "Leading up to this show someone had to drop off the lineup last minute, which gave each contestant 80 minutes. I was stoked to have double the length of the previous battle so I could go a bit deeper. This mix runs through all of the DNB and Jungle Flavors I love with plenty...

Since the last time we had this weeks guest on, she's played some pretty stellar venues in some notable cities, she's done Bailey's show on Rinse FM, and she did a quick tour of the UK. In our culture here in America, and probably soon around the world, she is known a tastemaker. Everyone loves her too. She's cool af. Representing 2Tuff DC, Turnstyle Records, and the RVA, please welcome Joanna O....

He's back! Jeff has become a show favorite over the last year or so and we love having him on. This will be the first set of a 3 part series we will be hosting over the next few weeks. His set was recorded live at the Black Box in Denver Colorado. Here is the man himself to tell you about it in his own words. "This mix is my first winning battle set from 2025. Originally prepared as a one-hour jou...

I met this weeks guest at a festival we were playing at last year. She had just finished her set and she was really excited! Her energy and enthusiasm were really cool. we swapped stickers and when I asked her name she said "everyone calls me "Ravemom" She's one of those awesome rave people that looks after her crew and keeps an eye out for everybody really. Her house, called "Kandi Land Undergrou...

Shout out to all the amazing guests we've been lucky to have.  With...

I first became aware of this weeks guest maybe a few years ago? I kept seeing this sticker people had. I kept asking them how they got it and how I could get one and it eventually led me to her. Then I discovered this powerhouse of West Coast DNB! From Production to DJ'ing, to writing for DNB Proper, She's a proper legend with too many crew affiliations to even list. Everyone loves her. Representi...

Part of the magic of our community is that you  to get to meet really special people along the way. This weeks guest is one of them. In the short time I have known him, he's become one of my ride or die's. For those of you that know me, I don't take that shit lightly. The music we have planned for American DNB in 2026 will turn some heads at the very least. The time is now. As we get ready for JUN...

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...

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...

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! Representing Digital Session...

I first became aware of this weeks guest maybe 3 years ago? I heard there was this guy playing festivals in central Florida and  he mixed like a maniac.....Like A.M.C (it turns out John is fucking bananas🍌 🍌🍌on the decks) I got to see him at the  first Cybefunx hosted by Deejay Zion in Orlando. He smoked the place! Since then I have had the pleasure of getting to see him a few more times and ev...

This weeks guest is always super nice and fun to talk to. He has pretty great taste in music and he's also gaining a reputation as a talented song writer.(GWAN Ben!) I usually enjoy his mixtapes too. I think you guys will like this one for sure. He's from Cincinnati but currently residing in Atlanta. Please welcome Uproot The Fiasco. Links below.

This weeks guest is a force for positivity. People like him are what make rave communities in different parts of the country exciting and fun. Vibrant even. He writes for Best Drum & Bass, he throws raves with some of the most distinguished crews in his city, he has a popular Twitch channel, and he's just an overall vibe of a dude. Representing Proper Drum and Bass Chicago, please welcome Tont...

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 ha...

She is  a vinyl DJ, promoter, and storyteller of the underground. With roots in Jungle/Drum & Bass and a love for everything from electro to house and IDM, she’s become a force in South Florida’s scene. As part of the East Coast Underground team,a South Florida record label, she spins deep cuts, promotes raw sounds, and amplifies the culture through music and writing. Meaux is also a proud mem...

This weeks guest is a favorite among the fans of this music that prefer a deeper,  heavier, more intricate sound. He's def a DJ and producer that the train spotter crew can't get enough of. We have been fans of him at AJS since forever! Representing New York City, please welcome 88 Katanas. Tracklist below. Please enjoy❤️ Back next week -Thomas    Tracklist: 88 Katanas - guest mix for the American...

We wish we could take credit for the idea to have this weeks guest do episode #137 but it was hers. She thinks of EVERYTHING. We've been fans for a long time and we just love how this one came together. We know you'll love it too. Buckle up and strap in let's goooooooo.     Within the darkest shadows of Gotham you can find her on missions across the city for Bassrush, Sounds So Sweet, City Soul, E...

As a DJ who has been at this for a very long time, there aren't a whole lot of DJ's I'll stick around for after my set. With that being said, when this weeks guest is on the lineup, I'll stay. She's a whole vibe and her strength is versatility. She's as comfortable behind the decks as she is at a DAW. Representing West Florida, please welcome back AnnGree. Tracklist below. Please enjoy❤️ Back next...

Sometimes I forget how good my friends are and then I listen to their mixtapes. 3 mixes into this one and I remember why this weeks guest stays booked. The Dark one! She's one of my favorite humans, one of my favorite DJ's, she's got a dog that's probably more famous than her and she's the genius behind one of Floridas best DNB nights, Renegade Sound. Representing Florida DNB, please welcome back...

I have to work really hard to be some semblance of "put together" I'm kind of a neurotic mess. Every time I see this weeks guest, I always admire how he's just effortlessly cool. That energy carries into in his music too. He's one of thoe people that just radiates positive energy. His music and his mixtapes have his own distinct Ruffneck jungle sound and we just love it. Representing the Tampa Bay...

first became aware of this weeks guest through the socials...I kept seeing her name pop up on new nights in the Tampa/St. Pete area. It turns out she was involved in making most of those events happen. To say she hustles would be an understatement. Representing Tampa Florida, please welcome Trippy Britty.  She's a DJ, vocalist, and event coordinator based in Tampa Bay, rooted in intention, precisi...

Some artist have difficulty coming up with an original sound. This weeks guest isn't one of them. Usually a few seconds into one of his tunes, you know its him. We love that! His music is a mix of future bass with a heavy dose of Ruffneck jungle. Representing Tallahasee Florida, please welcome back Rends Please enjoy❤️ Back next week -Thomas

I have known this weeks guest in one form or another for a very long time. As a raver in a club watching him play, to a friend of a friend, and now in the present, we talk pretty often. I can assure you, he is just as much fun as his cover photo implies. He's been on flyers playing DNB in the DC metro area for decades now. He's part of the fabric of our little east coast DNB community. Excited to...
