Dragon Lounge was founded by B-Side, Jon Wesley, Kristie Aguirre, and Gage of Merge Life and Music in 1998 and hopped venues until Kava opened 8 years ago.
The monthly garnered some international attention over the last year for their future jungle showcases.
“This sub-genre is a combination of break beats and jungle that resurrects the old school ‘90s vibe, but also introduces the future sounds of the post-dubstep era. You will hear jungle or trance anthem samples that are nostalgic from the days of underground warehouses before the evolution of drum n bass. Some producers rely on sampling the traditional side of reggae or ragga dubs, while others infuse the rolling bass lines with more of an Amen progressive feel,” says DJ and promoter Aaron 'Arkon' Hastings.
"I enjoy the challenge of playing many different genres, but 140 jungle resonates well with me because of my long history of playing breaks. To be honest I didn't like jungle back in the day and it is a blessing that I was given a second chance with the sound."
