A mysterious sect of selektas out of the Inland Empire, Southern California who have come together to rise above the average dj and mash-up da place!
The Gone JahMen Crew was originated in 2000 by brothers Dustin and Brodie and close friend Keith. At that point in time the I.E. was home to weekly raves and underground parties but not to too many dj's. Tired of seeing average joe dj's come to the I.E., the Gone JahMen went to work playing anything from house partys to raves. Slowly the crew got bigger increasing our drive to promote jungle music. Around 2003 we pulled back, for different reasons; the scene, music, personal lifes, and we slowed down a bit. We were still always together and we continued with our music along side all of us attending our respective colleges. At the beggining of 2005 we teamed up with our old homies from the I.E. to form a group dedicated to drum n bass and ragga music. We got together every friday night in Irvine (O.C.) to let true junglist hear our sound. We were fed up with the same bouncy, techy crap you could've heard in the U.K. four-years ago. We are and will always be driven to bring you something different. So.Cal. is home to so much great talent, we are proud to have the oppurtunity to support that. Our first goal as a crew was to obtain residency at a local dnb club. Our hard work has not only helped us meet that goal but, it has allowed us to create and opperate our very own ragga/drum'n'bass lounge every friday night, FREEBASS FRIDAYS. We continued with Freebass for 10 months. The first night was just a hand full of friends standing around a bar with 4 house speakers to our last night using both main rooms filled over capacity making it one of the biggest jungle party Orange County has seen to date. Freebass brought some big talent from all over including from Congo Natty, Spikey Tee, Twinhooker & Paulie Walnuts, Capital J, Jedi Mind Tricks, Demo, Hochi and some of LA's very best including; RAW, ERS1, APX1, CRS?, Infiltrata etc. During this time a few more friends joined the crew and inspired us to go further. After Freebass we decided to return our focus to making and spinning jungle. Dave "Direct Feed" and Jake "Natty Ruler" have had several releases over the last few years on many different labels. Dave is one of the hardest working producers period! He's definately no rookie to making tunes. He has many different allias and has releases in many different genres and a list of affiliates to go with it. Jake is now stranger to production as well. He's giving rebirth to the new ragga sound with affiliates and fans from here to Isreal. As a crew we're honored to have been sponsered by Owned Clothing a company dedicated to jungle music and has been for many years which has built a roster of dj's containing serious heavy weights such as; Dj Ink, Krinjah, Mad Dem Sound, Babylon Demolitionist, K.O.D.A., RAW etc. Much love and respect to all of the crews, dj's, producers and kids out there puttin' in the same amount of hard work to keep this scene alive. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL RAGGA/DNB CREW!
