Double O (formerly known as 007) is easily one of the most respected heads in Jungle DNB. And has been for over 25 years

Growing up inspired by Black music - especially his older brother’s Reggae sound system - his career propelled forward in the early 90s when he started playing Doncaster Warehouse alongside Carl Cox, DJ Ratty & Grooverider. In 94 he released one of his most famous productions, the Undercover Agent EP on Formation Records, and has gone from strength to strength ever since.

Today, Double O’s most known as co-founder of club night and label Rupture, which he’s been running since 2006 with partner in crime DJ Mantra. World-renowned as the mecca for spiritual breaks and hard hitting bass lines, they’re also headstrong about creating a safe space for ALL ravers to express themselves. It's no wonder Rupture is often dubbed the best platform for Jungle DNB in the world (including by Resident Advisor, Rinse FM, DJ Mag and Mixmag, where they feature regularly)!

Music has enabled Double O to travel the globe, playing to and meeting like minded people who share a deep love for that underground sound. Known but not limited to being a JungleDNB DJ, he also produces and selects a banging selection of Acid and Detroit Techno and Roots Reggae. Double O is one of the most driven yet humble OGs you’ll ever meet - making him an ideal role model to inspire the future generation of muscians. If you know, you know!
