Jungle Bells was incredible last night! Last night was an absolute honor to kick off in celebration of MJ Lee! I really can’t wrap into words how much of a master class that lineup was. DJ Wednesday smashing some jungle proper! Just pure talent and experience showcased with class and style. MCs Lord Annunati and Pow Shadows were absolutely locked in and added sooo much to that hour! Thank you gentlemen for the kind words of encouragement! Danny the Wildchild… enough said. That’s just how the hell you do it. Mint set! Siren caught both Melinda Dnb and myself off guard. Holy s**t. The way she rode the resonance in her songs and filled that dancefloor with pure energy and bassline was a sight to be seen. Keyword: Presence. Matrix and Futurebound threw down exactly how you would expect. Heavy dance vibes done with a tacticians precision. Soooo damn clean. ….. So much I could say about Ed Rush and Optical. What their music has gotten me through and just what this genre of music means to me…. Just incredible to see two homies still out here grinding together after 30 fu***ng years. Upmost respect for those guys and if anything in life, I just wish to have as much damn fun as Optical does on stage. The smiles are contagious, but the sound coming from those speakers is just the most gnarly stuff ever. Brings me pure joy.
Thank you so much to the Jungle Bells team and MJ for the opportunity. Your faith and trust means the world to me. Until next time, much love and respect to the whole crew.
I most definitely couldn’t have done this without the overwhelming love and support of my amazing partner, Melinda, along this journey the last few months. Thank you for changing my world babe. I love you so very much.
I am forever thankful for my health both physically and mentally. Might of left the party before it was over, but waking up bright eyed and back in the studio is always the goal. Take care of yourselves ya’ll. Life’s a marathon.
Thanks for the awesome video of me closing out my set, Lee! I had about 15 minutes of pure filth we didn’t get to get into, but what a tune to end it on.
Much love.
Ben.
