I try to learn as much as I can about each weeks guest to write their introduction. After speaking with his friends and seeing the warmth of his family I can confirm, everyone loves him! He's a damn sweetheart. While Brian raved in DC and Virginia for a period (I still can't believe we didn't meet each other when we were kids!), he's been a part of DNB communities all around the country. His friends hold in high regard and he is a DJ's DJ. Currently residing in St Augustine Florida and representing JAX DNB, please welcome Brian Bellas. Links and tracklist below.

Tracklist: 

For the next few weeks we  will get to talk about Jacksonville Drum n Bass! It's hard not to say a lot because Jax has such a vibrant DNB culture going back over 25 years now. This weeks guest is one of the hardest working people in his city making the culture happen and has been for a long time. His crew (JAX DNB) is an institution not only in Florida but the East Coast and abroad. Their influence can not be overstated. He is a fan of this music, a producer, DJ, and  a promoter. He lives this music and people like him are part of the fabric of our American Junglist culture.  Representing Jacksonville, FL please welcome Reflections.

For his second mix in this series, Jeff  recreates his winning set from the 2nd round of the Black Box Denver DNB battle. 

Since the last time we had this weeks guest on, she's played some pretty stellar venues in some notable cities, she's done Bailey's show on Rinse FM, and she did a quick tour of the UK. In our culture here in America, and probably soon around the world, she is known a tastemaker. Everyone loves her too. She's cool af.

He's back! Jeff has become a show favorite over the last year or so and we love having him on. This will be the first set of a 3 part series we will be hosting over the next few weeks. His set was recorded live at the Black Box in Denver Colorado. Here is the man himself to tell you about it in his own words.

"This mix is my first winning battle set from 2025. Originally prepared as a one-hour journey, it was reworked into a 40-minute rollercoaster shortly before showtime, trimming the deeper sections to let the energy hit harder. This is a live recording from the soundboard at The Black Box with no cut-and-paste edits — mistakes and all. One audible gaff made it in, and I left it there as a reminder that anything can happen live, and the show must go on."

I met this weeks guest at a festival we were playing at last year. She had just finished her set and she was really excited! Her energy and enthusiasm were really cool. we swapped stickers and when I asked her name she said "everyone calls me "Ravemom" She's one of those awesome rave people that looks after her crew and keeps an eye out for everybody really. Her house, called "Kandi Land Underground" is INCREDIBLE. For people that love rave people and this culture, it's like a museum. Amy's house is my favorite spot in Orlando to play the afters at🫶 Amy is a force of positivity and a pretty terrific human. She's a producer, a promoter, and a DJ..Shes an all around vibe.

This episode of the show makes #150 Holy cow! We'll call it the Christmas special🌲. Thank you each for listening to and supporting us as we try to put something together every week. It's turned into something we're proud of. Thanks again! I can't say it enough. Shout out to my boy  Brian, DJ Phantom 45 for being down since day 1. Shout out to all the amazing guests we've been lucky to have.  With 2026 nearly booked up, we don't plan on slowing down anytime soon.  I intended to record the show and talk on the mic like I used to when I started out but it looks like my $10 Amazon microphone has died. RIP!  2026 will  also be the the year we get to show you what me and my boy DRBBLZ have been working on for his label, Global DNB Collective. I really can't wait to show you what we got cooking.  The future is bright! I hope this New Year is great for everyone. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from American Junglist to you!  Tracklist below.

Tracklist:

I first became aware of this weeks guest maybe a few years ago? I kept seeing this sticker people had. I kept asking them how they got it and how I could get one and it eventually led me to her. Then I discovered this powerhouse of West Coast DNB! From Production to DJ'ing, to writing for DNB Proper, She's a proper legend with too many crew affiliations to even list. Everyone loves her.

Please enjoy❤️

Part of the magic of our community is that you  to get to meet really special people along the way. This weeks guest is one of them. In the short time I have known him, he's become one of my ride or die's. For those of you that know me, I don't take that shit lightly. The music we have planned for American DNB in 2026 will turn some heads at the very least. The time is now. As we get ready for JUNGLE BELLS 2025!!!! Representing the GLOBAL DNB COLLECTIVE and Long Island NY, Please welcome DRBBLZ

The first time I became aware of Nate( Souljunk), he was doing a dnb set at a waterpark and I remember thinking how awesome it would be to DJ at a waterpark and eat free hotdogs all day. That was 3 or 4 years ago now? The time is flying. Since then I talk to Nate pretty often and I've become a fan of his music and him as a human. He's a total vibe.The last time he was in Orlando I got to meet his friend Parker (Raydium) and can confirm, also a good human and a vibe when they came to play for Claudia and the Introspective crew. They tore the place to shreds,Intro was packed,  everyone had a wicked time! These two write music and DJ a lot together  now and I can see why. They sound amazing! Representing Nashville Tennessee, Please welcome Raydium & Souljunk
