Born in Konya in 1974. Acid house, 1987, was his first step into electronic music. He played at various local radio stations and parties between 1994-2005. Currently he does not actively play as a dj but he is a devoted follower of electronic music. He likes to play and listen to techno, dark techno,hard techno, drum&bass, jungle, drumfunk, hardstyle, gabber, speedcore, breakcore etc..

I like to freestyle in my listening .. but JungleDrum&Bass is passion 

Original beats from the deep.

fresh tunes and classics

I fell in love with DnB / Jungle music in 1997 while discovering the sounds of V , Full Cycle, Metalheadz, Moving Shadow, Good Looking, Playaz, Prototype and RAM. 

After a few nights out to experience sets by DJ Storm, Optical, Krust, DJ Shadow, Daft Punk and DJ Krush, the obsession with mixing took root. At the time I was also a freshly trained radio host. It seemed natural to start bringing the two passions together and in the early 2000s I produced and hosted the DnB radio show Forward Fast on Montreal's CISM radio, staying on the pulse of the movement and the evolution of the sound. Life then led me in different directions but lockdown brought me back to the jungle. 

I started the Bassrubs mixtapes in April 2020, a series of studio sets blending various flavours of Drum & Bass, Jungle and bass-heavy beats.

Music can take you so many places. I once freestyled with C-Rayz Walz back in 2003 in a dark alley in Baltimore near the Ottobar. In September 2024, I performed at Sun & Bass alongside the DJ Strife at Ambra Day, San Teodoro, Sardinia - a global mecca of drum & bass. I’ve had the pleasure of emceeing and hosting for inimitable artists like LTJ Bukem, Goldie, Makoto, Zero T, Break, Calyx, Ray Keith, Nookie, Mampi Swift, Aphrodite, Klute, DJ SS, Fabio, Total Science, Audio, Teebee, Pola & Bryson, Flava D, Redeyes, S.P.Y, Ant TC1, Craze, Kasra, Mefjus, Halogenix, Bad Company UK, Digital, Matrix & Futurebound, Heist, Command Strange, Phibes, Spinscott, MC Fava, DJ Rap, Enei, Bladerunner, Robert Manos, Dieselboy, DJ Dara, AK1200, Drumsound & Bassline Smith, The Upbeats, Critical Impact, Sub Zero, Random Movement, Gremlinz, Rene LaVice, Prolix, Loadstar, Brookes Brothers, T.R.A.C, The Prototypes, Sinistarr, Quadrant, Taxman, Teddy Killerz, and so many more.  From cyphers, battles, and lab sessions to rinsing shows, I have repped with some of the sickest talent around the globe & have been honored to be part of one of the richest music scenes in the world right here in DC alongside so many amazing people!  I am a freestyle fanatic who is passionate about the art of emceeing, & all the subtleties and nuances that go along with it.   

I love the rush that accompanies the feeling of holding the mic, but having no idea of what I am going to say next.  When you are the conduit between the DJ and the crowd, the medium by which expression is felt and shared.  In those moments you are able to influence the crowd + what people may think or feel, the night, and the direction it will follow.  Ultimately, that memory will be yours to keep forever.  I have been freestyling, writing music, and emceeing for over 22 years now with no plans to change.  My goal is to share a piece of who I am every time I perform for those who listen.  I emcee simply because I love it.
