| Jungle Brings The Funk Like Your Grandpa’s Feet | July 17, 2014 |
Brad Beatson can give it to you but whatcha gon’ do with it? I’ve got this image of everybody standing on the beach somewhere, and there’s this festival on the beach and everyone’s having a really great time. There’s like people surfing, sharks in the ocean, police cars are like pulling up on the beach. […]
| Question in the Form of an Answer: An Interview with JUNGLE. | March 12, 2014 |
I arrived at The Mercury Lounge on Sunday while JUNGLE. was conducting their soundcheck. T and J flew in from London the day before with their 3 band mates, sound engineer and manager, after completing a tour-leg opening for HAIM. Their first U.S. show was a few hours after landing, and they brought an energy […]
| JUNGLE.’s Masterful Groove | February 20, 2014 |
Brad Beatson has his own line of shoes and you didn’t even know it. Little has changed with Jungle since we named their EP, The Heat, #40 on our best albums of 2013 list. They’ve continued to stay out of the spotlight, changed the lettering of their name to “JUNGLE.” and have released yet another undeniable […]
| In the Jungle Groove | October 16, 2013 |
Max Bell is also a scholar of the early work of Jungle from Queensbridge. There’s a treasure trove of Bandcamp gems waiting to be mined. And, like once-lost ‘45s spun by the likes of Peanut Butter Wolf and Dam-Funk, someday there will be a group of digital diggers unsatisfied with their cloud storage and Spotify […]

Son Raw is a gawd. No pastries required. Reconfiguration is the word to play in UK dance music right now. Long past a single-genre singularity and finally distancing themselves from the post-everything soup of “Bass Music” that characterized the Dubstep diaspora, today’s producers are combining Afro-Caribbean riddims with London darkness, Grime’s sparseness to bassweight and […]
| Summer Jamz – Son Raw Live @ Bassdrive | June 10, 2011 |
Son Raw is Sach O for those who don’t know. Summer Jamz is an ever-changing experience for me. When I dropped my first mix in the series way back in 2008, I was traveling the South-Asian seas and decided to send something in a whim because I hadn’t done any music writing in 6 months. […]
| DITDC – Bass Music Singles of the Half Year (Pt 2) | July 8, 2010 |
Part 2 brought to you by Son Raw and the healthy looking folks at DMZ. 10 – Doctor P – Sweet Shop (Circus) Much to the anger of purists, Doctor P’s Sweetshop finally removed any trace of bass from genre’s mutating, squelchy synth leads, transforming what was once “wobble” into pure screeching aggression. Paired with […]
| DITDC: Fact Mix Round Up | June 15, 2010 |
Sach O bumps too many mixes We’ve chilled out on the links to Fact Magazine’s excellent bi-weekly mixes because frankly, those are some of the most consistently entertaining free doses of music out there and you should be checking em’ out without our cosign anyways. The bookmark folder is your friend. Rarely wandering into the […]
