Emergence DNB

Last but certainly not least, we have Juno Deluxe!

Juno Deluxe is a hardcore junglist currently stationed in Seattle. She mixes all things fast and loud, with a love of dubmusic and techno. She asks you to feel the music with her.

1. When did you first realize your passion for DNB?
"I first fell in love with jungle hearing Out of Space by the Prodigy as a kid. That led to hearing Aphrodite, Blu Mar Ten, and Dillinja- and I’ve been lost in the jungle ever since!"

2. What are your top 3 favorite FLINTA DNB artists? (DJs/Producers)
"Golden Boy, forever. I discovered her music by osmosis when I was living in portland and she’s stayed my favorite hardcore junglist, Long Live Golden Boy.
Jordana! I’ve had the privilege of working with her and enjoying several sets of her thru my work doing Lighting and Sound at Kremwerk. Her music is amazing and she is an absolute joy.
Anne Hero is a visual artist and Organizer who is dedicated to jungle and her art and her work with Jungle Against Genocide is extremely important and inspirational to me!"

3. How would you like to see yourself progress as an artist in the next few years?
"I am currently working on a Hardcore/Gabber record with Sylvie Basspet as the unicellular organism named “DJ Braincell” and would like to make maybe 17 more albums, and then shift into abstract ambient electronica."

Our third featured artist is Discobento!!

/‘dɪs-kəʊ-bɛn-təʊ/ n. 1. A unique curated musical experience. A passion for the unexpected and a quick sense of what makes the dance floor bounce. 2. A vault of artists, songs and samples, blended naturally, regardless of theme or bpm. A journey through any and all genres, featuring favorite throwback jams, total silly s**t and absolute fu***ng bangers. 3. A gift; the thing that cures what ails ya’ through dance, laughter, and love. 4. An expression of joy.

1. When did you first realize your passion for DNB?
"In high school I found CD compilations like Digital Empire which actually had some DNB. But really, it was DNB Tuesdays that sold me forever. Shows like High Contrast at Baltic inspired me to learn how to mix DNB on vinyl."

2. What are your top 3 Favorite FLINTA DNB artists? (Producers/DJs)
"Nia Archives is a recent fave.
Kyrist has a good chunk of space in my library.
Reid Speed from back in the Contour days…
(And I’m cheating cos you asked for only 3 but … can I play just one more?? LOL! Iris is an amazing local legend.)"

3. How would you like to see yourself progress as an artist in the next few years?
"HA! I’d like to get my library under control…
No, but really I have played around with quite a few DAW’s and I’d like to actually make something I can play that is authentically mine. Even if it’s an edit."
