Jungle is not a revival for the artists on this roster - several of them were there when it was being invented. DJ Brockie co-founded Kool FM 94.5 in 1991, still the longest-running and most influential drum & bass and jungle station in the world, and has been behind the decks since 1988.
DJ Rap is widely recognised as the first lady of jungle and drum & bass, breaking through in a scene that had almost no women behind the decks. Kenny Ken built his name through World Dance and as an AWOL resident. Nookie's records for Reinforced and Moving Shadow are part of the genre's foundation catalogue.
If you are programming a night that needs genuine authority rather than a nostalgia set, this is the part of the roster to start with. Tell us the room and the crowd and we will tell you which of them fits it.

What is the difference between booking a jungle DJ and a drum & bass DJ?
Plenty of our artists play both, but the programming differs - a jungle set leans on breakbeats, ragga influence and the early-90s catalogue, while a drum & bass set sits at modern tempo and production. Tell us which you want and we will match the artist to it.
Can I book a jungle DJ with an MC for an old-school night?
Yes, and for that era it is usually the right call. MC Shabba D has been MCing since day one and Evenson Allen is half of RatPack. We will quote DJ and MC together.
Do you handle private events as well as clubs?
Yes - birthdays, warehouse parties, brand events and private hires all come through the same booking process.
Clubs, festivals, brands and private events — every booking checked against real availability and secured with a deposit. No wishlists, no chasing, no surprises on the night.
