Shadow Boxers #001: Tuskan [AFT/Dread]

Enter the brand new mix series at JDNB… ‘Shadow Boxers.’ A monthly guest mix, putting the spotlight on the finest selectors and producers this scene has to offer, invited to flex their sound for a cool 45 minutes. We’re psyched to open this series with the raw sounds of Tuskan [AFT/Dread]. Tuskan, is a South-West UK based Producer and DJ, making and playing jungle drum & bass. Inspired by the recordings he made from One in Jungle on Radio One in the early Nineties, he is a first generation junglist, taking in the whole spectrum and history of the genre, with all it’s influences, whilst remaining upfront as the genre expands and evolves. Tuskan has been stepping things up in 2019, building a studio, and crafting his own sound, bringing the best of analogue hardware and digital together. Recent tuition from Goldie’s long time engineer and collaborator, Heist, has helped bring his sound from a self taught bedroom producer into the realms where he has seen releases on some of the scenes die hard labels like Ray Keith’s Dread Recordings and support from the likes of Bladerunner, Serial Killaz and Rebel Mc AKA Congo Natty. Recent signings to Bristol based AFT Records, co-owned by one of the scenes top MCs, Carasel, has seen Tuskan’s first Solo EP ‘the Bricks’ released in October this year. With the EP being played on the BBC and gaining respect from legends like Nicky Blackmarket and Ed Solo, has set the pace for a slew of forthcoming releases on the AFT Label in 2020. All this, plus a long time coming collaboration with the vocalist J-Man, taking a huge influence from dancehall, which has be picked up by Heist for his Co-Lab imprint, along side a remix from the label boss himself! 2020 is looking strong for this jungle warrior.
