I'm a big fan of this weeks guest. He's a force for all things DNB. Running both Wicked Jungle Records and ION drive, he's got 2025 planned all the way out. Please welcome, Raket. He has been spreading the sound of Jungle and Drum & Bass since 1997. Anywhere you could find good quality Drum & Bass, Raket has been there, in the crowd, on the Mic, or behind the decks. In 2014 Raket joined with a longtime friend, the artist Gridlab, and formed the production duo Self Aware. They hit the scene hard releasing on underground D&B labels from the UK with several consecutive Jungle and D&B releases. After the frustrating experience they had releasing music on underground labels, in late 2015 they decided to form their own label, Wicked Jungle Records. The label launched with the release of Wicked Jungle Volume I in January 2016. The compilation showcased a varied palette of underground Jungle and Drum & Bass. Wicked Jungle quickly became known as a go to label for classic styled Jungle tunes to theBy 2023 Wicked Jungle’s growth became hard to contain within the one label and Raket rebranded his sub label Ion Drive, which was primarily used as an outlet for Raket and Gridlab to experiment off genre, in the retro sounds of Electro, House and Techno.
Once rebranded though, Ion Drive became the outlet for all things Drum & Bass. This allowed Wicked Jungle breathing room to focus on the
sounds of classic and contemporary
 Jungle, Drumfunk, Hardcore, and other styles of heavily chopped break beats, that more closely align with the original sounds of Wicked Jungle Productions back in the 90's.
This brings us to 2024 where Raket has relocated from sunny South Florida to Maryland. He
has a full year of hard-hitting Jungle and Drum & Bass releases lined up for both labels,
featuring artists from across the globe, as well as several from himself. You can hear new mixes
dropping often on his Ion Drive Mix Series as well as pop up live streams and guest mixes on
radio shows around the globe. There is no stopping someone as passionate about Jungle and
D&B as Raket.most upfront in Drum & Bass experimentation.
