Renegade Riddims: BC#9
Share
BC#9, also known as Jason Bakes, is a DJ and producer from Denver, Colorado, USA. A touring musician since 1986, he has built a reputation for blending organic and digital elements to create fresh, innovative sounds. He’s also the founder and host of ‘The United State of Drum+Bass’ podcast.
His debut Drum & Bass album, ‘Aquasonica’, featured standout tracks like ‘Going On’ and ‘Liquid Blue’, earning both critical and commercial success. He followed up with releases like ‘Jungle Mind,’ ‘Massive,’ and ‘Sound Boy Killa,’ solidifying his place in the jungle scene. Most recently, BC#9 collaborated with Bristol-based outfit Paper Dragon on ‘Unity Gain’. Remixes of the track by Dope Ammo and Kravitz, and a version featuring Jasmine Knight’s vocals are set to drop soon.
Having spent time in the UK during the ’90s, BC#9 witnessed the rise of Jungle, Drum & Bass and Hardcore firsthand, falling in love with the sound and culture. This deep connection led him to establish DnB United Records, a platform dedicated to celebrating the art, culture, and evolution of Drum & Bass and Jungle worldwide.
Founded in 2013 as a hub for artist interviews, album reviews, and guest mixes, DnB United Records has grown into a team of industry professionals supporting releases across the scene. Now also a record label, it’s home to BC#9, Invalid, and Lina Hrams, helping to push the genre forward on a global scale.
