Getting my friends to make hotdog mixtapes is one of my favorite things. I get to be involved in this music a few ways and the Glizzcast is still one of my favorite projects. Brian comes out swigning for this on and it's got all the hotdog you can handle! Representing QCJNGL, DNB Proper, and Charlotte NC, please welcome Dub Science. Links and bio below

Bio:
Dub Science is a Charlotte-based Drum and Bass producer/DJ known for high‑impact sets, cinematic sound design, and a relentless drive to push the genre forward. With roots in underground rave culture, he blends deep rollers, minimal, and jungle flavors into performances that feel immersive, intentional, and unmistakably his own. His production profile has been rising fast. His collaboration on Electron‑C’s Fires in Babylon EP, he was featured on the song “Malicious Noise” which erupted onto Beatport, the EP hit #1 on the Drum & Bass charts and breaking into the Top 10 across all genres at #9. The release marked a breakout moment for Dub Science and signaled his arrival as a serious force in the modern Drum and Bass landscape. With upcoming releases on Time Slip Recordings—and a growing catalog of self‑released music on Spotify and Apple Music—Dub Science continues to carve out his lane with precision, energy, and unmistakable identity. -

AJS#195 Uncanny Orlo
Episode 195
Show notes
I like to think American Junglist was created for DJ's like todays guest. Since 1999 he has been pushing the boundaries of underground electronic music. Focusing primarily on UK breakbeat culture. Eric progressed through many genres over time, bringing 2-Step, Dubstep, and Funky Breaks to the Midwest in the early 2000s and later pivoting to drum & bass, breakcore and hardcore. His influences are beyond eras and genres. Always dedicated to digging, curating, and coming up with something original and eclectic. Representing the midwest USA, Please welcome Uncanny Orlo.

Episode 194
Show notes
I don't know if many people know how many years of practice and dedication it can take to get bookings on a regular basis. Cole would probably be mixing records in obscurity as much as he does now because he is dedicated to the craft of DJ'ing. Lucky for us, he doesn't have to do it in obscurity. He's one of the busiest DJ's I know! Representing Bad Man Sound, 3D Productions, Drum And Bass Proper, and Permagrin, please welcome Bennit. Tracklist below.

AJS#193 Bad Ninja
Episode 193
Show notes
I met this weeks guest at one of the best parties I have ever been to. It was over a few days and his set was one of the standouts for me personally. I got to know Robbie a little bit as the weekend went on and we hit it off right away. His style is so unique and just different. In a close knit culture where it can be hard to stand out with a unique sound, he does it pretty easily. I tell him all the time, it's like Samurai Breaks and Sam Binga had a baby when he plays. He's one hell of a vibe! Representing Bad Ninjitsu Entertainment and Detroit MI, please welcome Bad Ninja. Links below

AJS#191 HushBass
Episode 191
Show notes
I first became aware of this weeks guest because of Rolled Up Records. Shout out to Tim & Aaron! He had a track on one of their V/A EP's and I wanted to hear more so I checked Soundcloud. I was so into the style of DNB he was making that I messaged him.....I said something like "man if I ever get involved with a label, I'd really like to sign some of your music" That's was probably three years ago now? It turns out I did get involved with a label and as soon as I did, he was the first artist I signed. Berto is the best! I love his attitude and humility. He's got an awesome family, and now three years later, he's making some world class DNB. We are really lucky to have him on the show. Representing the Tampa Bay, please welcome HushBass. Links below

AJS#190 Union Shop DJ ODI & Friends
Episode 190
Show notes
I feel so old when I talk about my childhood now. I guess its because i am haha. In the early 90's, Every corner shop in the city and every cool clothing store sold mixtapes by local DJ's. They all had a certain feel to them. Lots of crazy drops and tons of MC's. I loved those tapes! Shout to DJ Cash Money, Kid Capri, Dj Premier and so many more. This weeks guest wanted to re-create that vibe a little and put his Digital Konfusion stank on it. So he invited some of the best MC's in our culture to join him. Please welcome one of my favorite ravers and one of my favorite DJ's! The one and only DJ ODI....... & friends.......please also welcome Sofi Mari, Josiah Scribes, T.R.A.C., Mc Astro, MC Foxy, MC trigga and more. lets gooooooooo🔥🔥🔥 Links below.

I was on my way to a rave when a friend (Terran) messaged me and said "hey!, this person is gonna be at the same thing, you should meet them." It was a weekend at one of the best raves I have been to in my life!!! If you get the chance to go to one of Recipe and U4ik's mansion raves, GO. Anyway, I met this weeks guest there. She is in fact a vibe. We got to mix a few times together throughout that weekend. She shreds. Representing Detroit Michigan, Please welcome Magick Traxx. Links below

AJS#188 Dust Breaks
Episode 188
Show notes
These days, it can be hard to keep up with new and upcoming artists in our music. A lot of people help me by recommending their friends and artists they're into. This weeks guest is one of those recommendations. After a listen, I liked him too. He is a California based producer and DJ with a unique "South Asian" vibe that I wish there were more of. His most recent release, the Shakti EP is a perfect example of the sound you can expect to hear. Representing the San Fancisco Bay Area, please welcome Dust Breaks. Links below and tracklist below.

AJS#187 Conductor
Episode 187
Show notes
Our guest this week has quickly become an icon in our American community and with good reason. I first became aware of Conductor maybe two years ago? I didn't really know much about her or her family but kept seeing that name on the socials. It wasn't until I read an article on www.bestdrumandbass.com that I felt compelled to reach out and meet Mary and Violet. It was emotional....lol. Now, we talk pretty regularly and I just love those guys. Im pretty sure everyone does. In a sea of interesting people in our American DNB culture, this magical human still stands out. She is marketing director for Ohm Resistance, A&R for Hi-Fi Jungle, talent scout and A&R for Time Slip Recordings, repping 1200 hustle, Bass Attack, N.W.O, and she got one of the most FIRE🔥 meme games on the internet.All the way from Lexington Kentucky, please welcome Conductor.

Episode 185
Show notes
As much as I try to stay up on every DJ in every city, I just can't. My friend Brian at Everyday Junglist told me about this weeks guest last year sometime and I have been a fan since. I always look for the left of center, ruffneck, dark and funky warehouse vibes. As gloomy as that sounds, thats the shit I came up on and I just love it.

I have known of this weeks guest for a long time now. I have purchased a few of his records over the years. It wasn't until I was talking with one of my friends in DC that I found out he lives here in Florida! Our community feels so big and spread out that it's always nice to find out there are some good DNB people in your back yard. Eric and his show, Lab Sessions, has been a staple on Bassdrive.com for years. I always love Liquid Funk a little more in the summer time and this one checks all the boxes.
