Chase and the Dragon is a Drum & Bass duo blending modern sounds with world music and classic DnB elements. Formed by two like-minded artists with distinct but complementary backgrounds, their music fuses decades of DnB culture with fresh, dancefloor-ready energy. Born from a shared obsession with bass music, hip-hop, and human connection through music, their sound is organic yet hard hitting — spanning multiple genres of drum n bass from rollers, jump up, liquid, to mainroom.

One half of the duo is DJ Puma, a 30-year veteran of the DnB scene - a vinyl collector, selector, and touring percussionist with a deep knowledge of sample culture with a junglist attitude. Growing up in the Philadelphia area, his DJ skills were born during the original era of vinyl, spinning at some of the first Drum n Bass parties to hit the USA. 

Their other half, Resonant Sun, brings melodic depth as a lifelong pianist, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist producer. Raised in Oakland, CA, he was heavily influenced by 90’s Golden Era Hip-Hop. With 25 years of experience in music production, beat-making, and sound experimentation, he brings a unique flavor to the DnB world.

Together, they form Chase and the Dragon — a meeting point of rhythm and melody, old-school breaks and modern sound design, tradition and innovation.  Their music blends heavy basslines, tight rhythms, and live percussion with intricate melodic work featuring lush soundscapes, cinematic intros, and ethnic instrumentation - creating a West Coast DnB sound that’s totally original. 

This is not just Drum & Bass — it’s a lifetime of music, culture, and connection packed into every track and every set.

Jen Symmetry has loved bass-driven music for well over a decade, playing at clubs, parties, and festivals, where her high-energy, precise performances have earned her prime timeslots around the US alongside some of the world's biggest artists (Sam Binga, Degs, Ternion Sound, Aphrodite to name a few). Although it's her DJing that initially caught people's attention, her production is also getting noticed. As a producer, Jen's versatile music from melodic jungle to funky breaks has been released on Phreak Recordings, Forefront Recordings, Rhythmic Remedies and others, with more releases in the pipelines.  

Find Jen dropping basslines in dozens of U.S. cities, playing notable events and venues, (Jungle Bells Atlanta, Respect LA, Driven AM NYC, The Black Box Denver, First Ave, Spin SD Union, San Diego, Infrasound Festival,  Even Furthur, The Great Beyond Festival, and more) or you can catch her on her popular Twitch channel, SLPDNB, for which she was nominated as best Twitch newcomer in the Twitch Breakbeat Awards of 2021 by the company itself. Jen also won the second installment of the 916 Junglist DJ battle that was broadcast live on Twitch to hundreds of viewers. She’s an integral member of Mechanix Minneapolis, a collective that hosts monthly bass music parties with a focus on forward-thinking sounds, quality, and inclusivity. 

 With the versatility to throw down three deck drum and bass, jungle, and halftime sets, or weave multi-dimensional, genre-defying bass-filled beats together, whatever vibe she creates will captivate and keep the crowd moving. She's been described by Minneapolis hometown promoters as a juggernaut of a DJ, and proves she's worthy of the description time and time again.

Vinyl DJ in the Emerald Triangle. Drum and Bass with some reggae/dub sometimes. :)
IG: @luna_assassin <———that’s where the good stuff is. 

I’m horrible at making good mixes. Catch me live, that’s where the magic is at! 🖤

"It all started in the drum & Bass game back in 1999, I went to my first warehouse party and after that, I was hooked. Shortly after I saved enough money for a pair Technic 1200's i got right to work, practicing and perfecting the mix. literally spending all my money on vinyl, purchased mainly from the UK so a fortune in shipping as well."
 Now, in 2018 DRTY MUZK aka Zach Schneeman is a quadruple threat as a dad and a husband and a really good cook who is also well versed in all types of bass music, primarily Dubstep, Drum and Bass, Halftime dnb, Breaks, Techno, hip hop and dirty House music.
  Based on the West coast DRTY MUZK will be sure to get the dance floor juicy with deep bass and crisp hi's. He prides himself on playing only high quality audio files and vinyl sets, Zach believes that is the only way to truly experience the music.
