OMG. Dropping the Donkey Kong magic right at the beginning. Love this <3

From renegade beginnings throwing bespoke house parties, to kicking off an all-Australian artist DIY record label, the 58th instalment of the Constructions series is guested by Eora-based creative practice and musical duo, FAN CLUB©

“We’ve been close friends for years and FAN CLUB© has always been the creative collaboration between us. Our work focuses on collections of high-quality products exploring the intersections of design, art, and sound”.

As a homage to the many talented musical artists within the Australian bounds, FAN CLUB©’s mix is a tribute to a ‘special and unique sound developed here, in part due to our geographical position and to the diversity of cultures, backgrounds, influences, and creative expressions’. 

Featuring a heady mix of bass, breaks, and tech, rife with remixes and bootlegs - FAN CLUB©’s offering to the Constructions series is an all-genre, all-Australian blend of music from friends, family, and producers they’ve looked up to for many years.

With his latest release Slumberjunkie is taking things into his own hands. The London-based producer and musician has been making music alongside Cameo Blush and playing as part of Ross From Friends' live band, but now, with the four tracks that make up Never Understand, he's ready to make his mark as a solo artist.

Released via Silver Bear Recordings the EP takes in breaks, DnB and jungle flavours, characterised by vibrant and dreamy pads and melodies that lift the crisp drum programming up into the heavens.

The release follows two other EPs for Ratface Records and Technical Glitch both of which introduced listeners to the Slumberjunkie sound, one he describes below as sounding like if "D’Cruze was a playable character in an N64 game".

As he plots a course for his upcoming solo outings, we invited him to take care of this week's Shine A Light On mix which is a fast & furious blend of the high octane music that inspires his own productions...

RALPH w/ Silent Era on Reprezent Radio October 2022

This year it’s been nice to see James Bangura get the props and respect that he deserves. For many years he has been hustling behind the scenes, releasing music and pushing forward a keen sense of community and collaborative energy which has afforded him many friends and admirers. He is now finally getting the credit that’s long been due.

James has been incredibly busy over the past few years, since 2020 he has released records on the likes of Mister Saturday Night, Art E Fax and World Building.

 
These records have cemented him as a producer but behind the decks James remains a force to be reckoned with.

He is also one of the co founders of the longstanding group ““Black Rave Culture” which has helped champion and pioneer an array of musicians via collaborations and beyond.

James Bangura: The Ransom Note Mix

Ego is a high energy Drum and Bass track that pulses with raw emotion, capturing the turmoil of a guy whose oversized ego sabotages his relationship with his girlfriend. The relentless beats and jagged basslines mirror his inner conflict, while haunting vocal chops echo her fading pleas for connection, it reflects his spiralling self absorption, ultimately leaving a bittersweet resonance of love lost to pride.

🌍 The Global Jungle Manifesto

Core Ethos:

Jungle is the heartbeat of the Earth.

It unites tribes, cities, and cultures through funky rhythm, bass, and dance.

It heals by being fun, playful, and spiritually uplifting.

It belongs to everyone — every region, every tradition, every dream.

Pillars of the Movement:

🌿 Funky Dancey Energy — Never dark or oppressive. Jungle is for skanking, laughing, feeling alive.

✨ Spiritual Roots — Infused with ritual, trance, nature, and ancestral memory. Music as ceremony.

🌎 Global Fusion — Every culture’s percussion, melodies, and folk traditions can be woven into jungle.

🎚️ Positive Technology — AI + producers as shamans of sound, manifesting infinite new styles.

🕊️ Vibes of Unity — From London sound systems to remote villages, jungle is the shared pulse.

🌐 Regional Flavors of Jungle

🇨🇳 Chinese Jungle (guzheng, pipa, erhu, opera stabs)

🇮🇳 Indian Jungle (tabla, sitar, bansuri, raga scales)

🇷🇴 Balkan/Klezmer Jungle (clarinet, violin, brass, odd-time rhythms)

🇲🇦 Arabic/Bellydance Jungle (oud, ney, darbuka, mystical chants)

🌊 Sea Jungle (whale song bass, sonar pings, water FX, conch horns)

🌌 Cosmic Jungle (bells, chimes, choirs, heavenly atmospheres)

🇧🇷 Amazon Jungle (log drums, maracá shakers, tribal chants, rainforest ambience)

🇿🇦 African Jungle (djembe, ngoma, marimba, call & response vocals)

🇯🇵 Japanese Jungle (shamisen, taiko, koto, temple gongs)

🇨🇦 First Nations Jungle (powwow drums, flutes, spirit chants, nature FX)

🎯 Movement Goal

To re-enchant the dancefloor with music that is:

Ancient yet futuristic

Global yet local

Funky yet spiritual

Fun yet transformative

Call & Respond
