CREW BIOS

Phodee6

Seduced by the rave scene in the mid 90’s, Phodee6 got his hands on his first set of turntables late 1997. From there he dove head first, spending all his money on jungle and deep house music. A year later he found that DJing is not a cheap hobby and had to make a decision.  Which genre should stay and which one should go? Hearing DJ Hype in Toronto quickly drove the final nail in the coffin for house and acted as a jolt of caffeine for the ever addictive Jungle/drum’n'Bass.

With an ever growing library of  jungle records, and a thirst for DJing, Phodee6 got to show the world his love of this music when he got his chance to start a Jungle Drum’n'Bass show on a new radio broadcast station at Conestoga College in Kitchener. SoulJah Sessions Radio was born in spring of 2002 with the help of fellow junglist  “Tongue Boxer”, and still runs on Canada’s largest college broadcasting station CJIQ  88.3 fm, Saturday afternoons 1-3 pm.

Early 2005 DJ’s Bounty, Doobie and the ever hard working DJ Brizene came abroad the SoulJah Sessions train and transformed it into the best Jungle Drum/Bass radio show in Southern Ontario and maybe even the world.  Probably in fact…. Yeah, we’ll go with the best one in the world.

Bounty

Born in Cambridge, and raised on the east coast, Bounty returned to Ontario and got hooked on Jungle. Influeneced by all types of music, he showcases this in the variety of tracks he plays.  Musically influenced by everything from Gil Scott Heron and Led Zeppelin to The Police and A Tribe Called Quest. Joined SoulJah Sessions and hasn’t looked back.

Uncle Doobie

Originally from Kitchener, now living in waterloo, Uncle Doobie has been into the jungle – drum-n-bass scene since 1999. His influences include such djs as Andy C, Nicky Blackmarket,Marcus Visionary, Mystical influence and many many others. Uncle Doobie has been a part of Souljah Sessions Radio since May of 2005 helping the one like phodee 6 holding it down with his own style and ability bringing the best in Jungle, drum-n-bass. From liquid to jump up Uncle Doobie brings all aspects of drum-n-bass, and with his love for the music there is no stopping this young dj from becoming a force to be reconed with.

PAST HOSTS

Brizene

Born Brian Patrick Keller in a small town of Cobourg Ontario. I was always a bright boy getting into trouble. Quitting everything that I had started because I had felt that I had gotten good enuff at it. Son to Linda and Bob, Brother to Brennan, Mike, Corrine, Cathy, Lori and Wendy and now Step son to Norbert. I have always been into music but never really thought a career in music was possible, or that I had the talent to succeed in it. I started playing the Saxaphone in grade school which soon blossomed into marching bands and into various awards for my school. I than picked up and left to go to a high school that had a renound music program which turned out to be very remedial for me, so I got bored and quit. Selling my Saxaphone for some type of party favour at the time, I decided that maybe acting was the way to go for me, so I put all my stock into a drama group. I was doing well at that and then really just lost myself until one day I got an invite to go to a rave. My life changed from there. Jungle was born into my life, and it will be here for years to come. Ive been in the scene since 1998 been affiliated with such groups as Chronic Sound System, Keep6.com, Ontariojungle.com, Darkland agency and Rinse Proof Records.

Tongue Boxer

The mighty Tongue Boxer was one of the original crew members, he helped start this madness that we call SoulJah Sessions Radio.  A great host and DJ,  his stint was only for 2 years, give a take a few months.  Check out the archives for the classic sets and hear the madness that once was. BOH!

Respect.
