BIO:
An  original junglist from Los Angeles, now residing in Southern California, I. Wright rinses jungle, drum and bass and has been rocking crowds in California and beyond for the past two decades.  He's built up a reputation for moving the masses with wall-shaking performances, mixing crisply patterned percussion and ubiquitous bass.  

In 1997, I. Wright’s love for jungle music had evolved into dj'ing; he began creating his own signature jump-up and ragga sound by mixing and recording jungle and drum and bass vinyl from the Metalheadz, Ram, No-U Turn, Da’ Lick, Joker, Urban Takeover, Switch, Fresh Kuttz, Zion, Kemet and Congo Natty record labels.
  
By the Spring of ’98, I. Wright was already pushing his sound in the SoCal EDM scene with his performances and via mix tapes such as “The Human Experiment,” "Subversive Cursive," and “My Habitat”.  When asked about the origins of his d.j. name, I. Wright shares, “DJ'ing is writing for me, every dj has a unique, creative style- their poetic voice; it's a musical signature behind the turntables.  For me, each mix is a new musical poem or story I write.”  That same year he created “Plastic Addicts,” a production company, and d.j. collective, which was originally conceived by I. Wright in his “Plastic Addicts” radio show on KJUC, one of Santa Barbara’s only independent, non-commercial radio stations. This was the beginning of I. Wright’s career in radio broadcasting.  I. Wright would later follow up with his own internet radio show, “Junglist Unity” from 2003-2008, first on  movementradio.com and then on dnbradio.com. By 2001, I. Wright was inspired to throw “Strictly DnB”: the only all-drum and bass monthly club night in Santa Barbara with his friend and fellow junglist Mad Huban of the Beatnix Labs, Santa Barbara. This drum and bass night was the longest running monthly drum and bass show in Santa Barbara and the 805 area from 2001-2003. 

Over his career, I. Wright has performed with noteworthy international drum and bass producers and d.j.’s in Los Angeles and across Southern California:  R.A.W.(6-Blocc), Origin(Back2Basics),Clutch and No Face (Respect, Junglist Platoon), APX-1(Ghetto Life Rec.), Nightstalker(Bassrush Prod.), Infiltrata (John Dada) TABU (Refuge), among others.
