The newly formed imprint Rhythmic Dysfunktions premiere release comes in the form of an EP ensemble that features some relatively new as well as established names in the jungle, drum & bass platform.

The first contribution "No Remorse" by Stranjah is a jump-up amen smasher that has been pounding on many of his sets worldwide.  It's triplet-amen pattern, and filtered drop bass, with its recognisable hip-hop sample is sure to turn heads at a rave near you.

Although new to the game, Funkspasm has been hard working on his craft for more than a decade.  His track "No Getting Through" is a deep mystic, but bass-heavy roller that may play well alongside similar tunes by Amit and Fanu.

Bayou and Future Roots come with an Amen VIP of their track Dread Drone.  Appropriately named, its droning sub-bass is a perfect complement to its splattering amen breaks.  Play this through to the second drop, as the bassline gets really funky from there.

Finally, Ahmad comes cross with a deep, dark amen tear-out-sound that has been popular amongst the 117, Sci-Wax and Danger Chamber fans who may also know him as Acid Lab.

Capital Jungle X Subtle Radio X Hi Fi Jungle

Pete Shredz is a Canadian DJ, producer and promoter spinning Jungle, DnB, UK Garage, Dubstep, Footwork, 2-step and anything else that will help you keep your gun fingers in the air. Shredz brings his high energy, technical mixing to the decks whether he is playing digital or Vinyl. His love for bass music started at a young age through the exposure to Jungle music while travelling to the UK and hearing the early sounds of the genre.

Shredz has been rinsing the decks since 2011 and saw him play alongside DJs such as Bladerunner, Serum, Hedex, Voltage, Kenny Ken, Saxxon, John Rolodex, Gunman, Marcus visionary, Blackley and Lush. He held a regular show on Cre8dnb Radio for 5 years and joined Cre8dnb owner Blackley on the UK radio station Rough Tempo during a takeover show. Shredz now holds a monthly slot on Subtle Radio.

He started Capital Jungle in 2019 to help keep the Jungle and DnB scene thriving in Ottawa. Since moving out to the Kootenays BC in 2023 Shredz has kept Capital Jungle alive, now working with Mr Mugz and putting on events dubbed “Gun Finger Fusion” to help revive the old school feel of raves with amazing sound systems and great vibes. This means a focus on longer DJ sets to let the selectors really take you on a journey and focusing on the art of Dj’ing which includes vinyl sets at each show.

In 2025, Shredz had his first release on Hi Fi Jungle Music with a 3 track EP and played the Village Jungle Rinse-out hosted by John Rolodex at Shambhala Music Festival.

.Drumglistix!  Love all forms of drum and bass & jungle, though I lean more toward amen sounds.   my own pieces have ended up trappish and glitchy, but my heartbeat is a processed amen, for sure

STRANJAH is a pioneering figure in the North American drum and bass scene, with a career spanning over two decades. He has solidified his position in the bass music world with seminal releases on Metalheadz, 31 Records and Renegade Hardware, and has recently worked with major labels such as Critical Music and Hospital Records.

STRANJAH's sound draws from a wide range of influences, making it difficult to label under one umbrella. However, his modern-day sound is characterized by expressive bass sounds, 90s synths, and syncopated drum beats. He has established himself as an influential figure in the music production community, with his new YouTube channel and label Deviant Audio, where he provides knowledge, tools, and resources to empower emerging artists and push the boundaries of electronic music.

They call me The Nocturnal cos I'm Up All Night, I never sleep before Sunrise. This gives me Sight Beyond, so even though there are 6 Million Ways To Die I'm pretty sure I won't R.I.P due to a Sniper. That only happens when you Come Easy to The Hitman and Drift To The Centre at a Set Speed. Nah- if anyone with a Hidden Agenda tries to Touch Me, I will Approach And Identify, then Cutslo with a Silver Blade, one man with the Dope Skillz and Phantom Force of Seven Samurai 🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡
