JUICE Drum and Bass began in Bend, Oregon in 2005, as a monthly event curated by Chemynne Perlingieri, motivated by the desire to bring drum and bass to the region. After continuously pushing the night and its brand spanning now 18 years, JUICE has grown to international recognition and is the longest running drum n bass night in Oregon. Moving north, JUICE continued on in Portland after 2010, hosting local, regional, and international producers focused on the deep soulful sounds of drum and bass.

The night ran Saturdays for years; then Thursdays bi-monthly 2013-18. JUICE was then monthly at The Whiskey Bar downtown until Feb of 2020, when the pandemic shut the doors of all venues. Moving their feature nights to Twitch during the pandemic, JUICE currently continues to promote the genre both through weekly InBetween Sessions on twitch.tv/juicedrumandbass (every Tues/Thurs/Sun 7-11pm) and special last-Friday-of-the-month features. Quarterly in-person shows can be found in Portland at Holocene for the last three years, which are also streamed live from the club.

Growing the brand of JUICE as a staple in the Pacific Northwest music scene, JUICE has hosted DnB’s finest out to Oregon—including DJ Marky, Goldie, LTJ Bukem, Dub Phizix & Strategy, Drumsound & Bassline Smith/World of Drum and Bass, Ray Keith, Nookie, Bladerunner, Total Science, Lenzman, Big bUd, Kubiks & Lomax, ASC, Method One, Stunna, Random Movement, Artificial Intelligence, Dave Owen, T.R.A.C., MC Fava, Atlantic Connection, Utah Jazz, dBridge, OmUnit, Technimatic, Zero T, Spectrasoul, LSB & DRS, Digital, Commix, Redeyes, Command Strange, Emma G & MC Tali, Marcus Visionary, Mizeyesis, KJ Sawka, Winslow, Reid Speed, BCee...the list goes on. The sound and culture of JUICE continues to be represented through livestreams on Twitch, YouTube, JUICE merchandise, and podcasts by Chemynne and JUICE residents at: soundcloud.com/juicedrumandbass.

Alongside running a design & branding business of 22 years (Mulch Design, now retired), Chemynne’s love-of-DnB-travels promoting JUICE have spanned across the coasts and the UK. While DJing has never been her directive, her mixes have been featured on local and European radio, DnBRadioBrazil, Bassdrive.com, 916Junglist Radio, RenegadeRadio.co.uk, and on Arrested Development’s online radio show Musical Safari, (don't mention logging near 2200 hours streamed) with her husband 'tbone' and guests on Twitch.

Great support and backbone to JUICE events comes from an amazing team; combined with some of the area’s finest: residents Definition Positive (DnB Radio PDX/Salem), Revival (Soul Deep Recs/Fokuz/PDX), Praderz (Deep Space Recs/UK/PDX), Subfugitive (PDX/VA), Axiom (PDX) and MC Questionmark (PDX/LA/UK). JUICE’s fantastic photographer Van Adam Davis, lighting specialist Brett McConnell, and sound & equipment guru Mike McGillivray round out this diverse and talented crew.

Thanks to the crew, sponsors, local & twitch communities, and the international DnB scene which continue to support this genre and lifestyle here in the Pacific Northwest—and worldwide.
