 Just so you know me best, Im a professional painter, Ive painted walls and objects for most of my 38years on this rock, and I love spray cans and paint brushes. Color is the name of the game.
 My life changed forever in 1983, when I saved enough money for my first skateboard from my killer longs ass paper route up the side of a mountain here in the Comox Valley. A good skateboard cost almost 300 $$$ bucks then, ya I know crazy dude. But from these things I found my place and had something to belong to. If I could give anyone any advice, it would be to get totally stoked on what you love and never look back for too long, just stay the course and cool things come to be.

M45H is an Argentine dnb dj actually residing in New York. He is well known for his events in Cordoba. The most important of them is the creation of a cycle of Drum and Bass with Galactic concept called NEBULA which was the forerunner of this style in Cordoba Capital Argentina.

As an artist he is characterized by djs sets which contain smooth mixing techniques and clean thought out scratching. In 2007 he won first place in the E-Sencial Jam Argentina scratch championship. His musical productions connects several branches in the down-tempo, 90 bmps and drum and bass that can be heard on soundcloud . He has DJ'd for various bands and cabin with Latin American djs representatives of bass music and other important in South America and in NYC such as: Noisia, The Upbeats, Black Sun Empire, Wilkinson, Rene Lavice, Chase and Status, Spor, Culture Shock, Delta Heavy, Calyx and Teebee, Total Science, Dub Phizix, Bachelors of Science, Jumpin Jack Frost, Bailey, Zardonic, Gridlok, AK1200, Dara, and many others.

Jumpat has been spinning Drum and Bass music since 2000. Starting out in his home-town Oldenburg in North-West Germany he became a prominent guest on RudeboyFM. He later moved to Cologne and continued to play amongst local crews and club-nights.

His skill to create a vibe from scratch comes from a unique and intuitive ability to truly read a crowd, building atmosphere and connection time after time.

In 2005 the SUN AND BASS festival recognised this and invited him to Sardinia where he has been a resident DJ ever since. Another to notice and offer residency was Heiner Kruse, head of Basswerk, one of Germany’s most respected and longest standing Drum and Bass events.

In 2009 Jumpat began producing and released collabs with BTK on Cyanide and Basswerk, the tune “Enowen” (Basswerk Files) marks the start of his solo productions and led to further releases on labels such as Dutty Audio, Protect Audio, Delta9 Recordings and T3K to name a few.

With noted success and respect throughout the scene for his productions it is in DJ-ing where he directs his focus and energy. His latest residency in 2019 with the Cologne based D : F R N T crew sees him continuing to bring ravers to dance floors throughout Germany and Europe.

A temperate underground drum & bass DJ, London #DNBL

THE LOCKER - A space to share quality underground electronic music, largely focused in the sphere of Drum & Bass and Jungle. 

There are a lot of groups out there with a similar purpose, however this one is intended to be the hub for the heads - a platform for discussion, home for eclectic mixes, radio shows and the ultimate wall of tracks to browse.

Our personal taste stems from the likes of Rupture, Scientific Wax, Metalheadz, Dispatch, Exit and Hardware, however there are plenty of exceptional labels and artists out there that we need to hear more of. Hopefully this should give you an idea of what sort of niche we are trying to fill, and the community this group is building.

If you would like to send us a mix for the our series, or a 20-minute mix for radio hit us up at contactthelocker@gmail.com

Please note that all submissions will be considered, but not necessarily published.
