Ed Solo & Aries Jungle Cakes takeover

Jungle Cakes Forged in the fires of dubwise drum 'n' bass, moulded from decades of experience rocking shows in the UK's reggae-influenced junglist soundsystem culture, the Jungle Cakes consists of all the label's biggest beasts The takeover is guaranteed to blow up the dancehall and transport ravers to the beating heart of the jungle. Sold out shows in more than a dozen UK cities over the past 18 months are testament to the connection the Jungle Cakes crew have with their audience. The apex predators have taken up their rightful place at the head of the pack, and the dancehall will never be the same again. Ed Solo Firing up the bassbins and hitting you hard with a dose of raggamuffin junglist energy is what Ed Solo is all about. From Glastonbury to Canada's Shambhala, from dirty Brixton back rooms to Spanish arenas, Ed has travelled the globe throwing down his unique brand of ruffneck bassline bravado for more than a decade. Ed's knack for the rudest of hooks is equalled only by his sublime studio skills. He cut his teeth in the mid '90s engineering at the notorious SOUR Records studios, going on to lay down a series of groundbreaking collaborations with jungle kingpin DJ Brockie. In 2007 Ed released ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ alongside Skool of Thought, featuring ‘When I Was A Yout’ and ‘We Play The Music’ among others. Ed’s partnership with Jungle Cakes partner in crime Deekline has thrown up some of the most memorable tunes of the decade. The pair recently mixed the chart-topping 8th edition of their Welcome to the Jungle series and have formed the incredibly successful Jungle Cakes Takeover collective with the likes of Benny Page and Serial Killaz. Aries Reggae and Jungle both maintain strong roots in the UK and Aries has immersed himself in both cultures, now flying the flag worldwide for modern sound-system culture. His sound combines vintage Jungle sensibilities with traditional Reggae music, polished off with modern day production techniques. The finished product is his own Dubwise strain of the UK’s one true homegrown genre, Jungle. Aries broke through to the A-list of the Jungle world after releasing music on legendary record labels Congo Natty, Dread and V Recordings. He has recorded with the likes of Top Cat, Solo Banton, Nanci & Phoebe, Demolition Man, Jah Mason and Johnny Osbourne. Aries’ projects vary from his solo exports to collaborations with Gold Dubs and Kelvin 373, to the Chopstick Dubplate crew, the world’s first international Reggae Jungle sound crew fronted by himself, Jacky Murda and Tuffist. All this from one of the most humble people you are likely to meet in the music business, a true junglist gem.
