Flyer says its all. Looks like Ed Rush, Optical, Dara and Empress will be touching down at Studio B, Friday August 1. The dubstep room will hold its own as well with Dave Q and Dhruva from Sub Swara.

Its been at least 6 years since I saw Ed Rush. This is gonna be awesome, I hope Studio B brings some extra Bass bin!! BOH BOH BOH!

$10 in advance. Tickets at ticket web.

Check out this wicked documentary about the history of Jungle music. Produced sometime around 1994 in the UK.

Listening through Odi’s amazing Legacy NYC mix has had me loving a number of tracking in the mix. One track “Flatliner” has caught my attention and the attention of Mel over at Apt 11. I actually didn’t know the track and had to ask the grandmaster Odi himself; who let me know that it is infact TC. Check it out below. Awesome awesome vocals.

Unfortunately I missed last months amazing Legacy party thrown by the NYC Jungle crew. From what I gathered from the live mixes, it was a fucking amazing time. Check out these mixes from the original Odi himself, and Profile.

Tricia Romano, the Fly Life writer for the Village Voice is hanging up her hat on her job as staff writer for NYC nightlife. She has some interesting things to say about the DnB scene. She like me, grew up in the DNB scene, saw its brief rise, and then its collapse. I will always still love the music.

If you grew up with DnB or have read Fly Life check this out.
