Method One

Bio:

.. .... BIOGRAPHY:

In the 15 years since he first started experimenting with sampled loops, Jason Leder aka Method One has become one of the elder statesmen of the American drum & bass scene. As a dj, he has honed his craft through hundreds of gigs stretching back to the early nineties, and can be heard every week on www.bassdrive.com. As a promoter, he helped to throw some of the first raves and jungle events in the East Coast's Mid-Atlantic region. And, as a musician, he is responsible for numerous releases and remixes on labels such as Vibez, Covert Operations, Vampire, Nexus (Good Looking), Levitated, Red Mist, Testflight, Elektra/Warner Brothers and more. In addition, Jason also writes the "Fast: Forward" drum & bass column for XLR8R Magazine and is a managing partner of Levitated Recordings.
