The 4’20’ Sound presents:WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE
Special DnB reggae Monday featuring two of UK’s finest Jungle & DnB DJ producers:
ED SOLO (Jungle Cakes) + JINX IN DUB (Boom Sound)

**ED SOLO** Strangely enough for an artist named Ed Solo, this prolific producer used to be best known for his collaborations with other artists. Deekline, Krafty Kuts, Skool of Thought, drum ‘n’ bass legend Brockie – all have benefited from getting Ed alongside them in the studio. The east London lad who grew up listening to pirate radios and cut his teeth as a production assistant at the famous Sour studios really is a Jedi master of sonic science: drop the needle on an Ed Solo record and you’ll soon know about it – no one makes club music that cuts through a soundsystem quite like him.

And yet that moniker also – rightly – suggests a confidence in his ability to go out on his own, and Ed is an iconic artist on each of the drum ‘n’ bass, breaks and dubstep scenes. In the latter field, he’s recently been creating a firestorm with Sludge Records, the label he co-runs with Deekline (the pair also run booty breaks imprint Hot Cakes together).

Tracks such as Age of Dub and Atlantis have introduced younger clubbers to classic dance music sounds, throwing them through a skanked out half-time prism and bringing them back to the floor in full effect. They’ve also picked up support from iconic figures such as Kissy Sellout and Skream – this is a producer right at the heart of the zeitgeist.

In the club, Ed is at the centre of one of the most innovative revolutionary shows of modern times, the Battlejam events run with production partner and UK DMC Champ JFB and UK beatbox champ Beardyman. Working together, the trio cut, scratch and loop up live audio recordings – some made by members of the crowd only seconds before – to create an entirely new, interactive, real-time experience.

Having just returned from a spectacularly successful tour of Canada, Ed is ready to take things to the next level. Hold tight for some serious dancefloor mayhem in your area.

**JINX IN DUB** Jinx in Dub has carved a niche within sound system culture by producing a strain of Reggae influenced Bass music that’s found it’s way into the DJ sets of the world’s top selectors from Dub Pistol’s Barry Ashcroft to Congo Natty’s Rebel MC.

Aside from the obvious masters of Dub and Reggae his inspiration comes through his early love of Breaks, through Disco and Boogie music, plus his close relationship with the nations Junglists cannot be ignored.

Invitations to perform his DJ sets come regularly from the UK’s concentrated Bass havens such as Bristol and Leeds and he is supported across festival land through Glastonbury, Boomtown Fair and Edinburgh’s Wee Dub Festival. He performs alongside a variety of world class vocalists with favourites being Parly B, Gigante and Dub Dadda from Zion Train.

Jinx in Dub’s own label is called Butter Pie Dubs – representing the true Northerner within – and through this he has been experimenting with some interesting projects ranging through the conscious, heavy hitters to some more party friendly covers that everyone will know and love. For remix duties you can find Jinx in Dub on Big Dada Records, Sunday Best, Boom Sound Recordings and Jungle Cakes, amongst others.
