Ed Solo & G-Shellz

Ed Solo -

Firing up the bassbins and hitting you hard with a dose of raggamuffin junglist energy is what Ed Solo is all about. From Glastonbury to Canada's Shambhala, from dirty Brixton back rooms to Spanish arenas, Ed has travelled the globe throwing down his unique brand of ruffneck bassline bravado for more than a decade.

Ed's knack for the rudest of hooks is equalled only by his sublime studio skills. He cut his teeth in the mid '90s engineering at the notorious SOUR Records studios, going on to lay down a series of groundbreaking collaborations with jungle kingpin DJ Brockie. In 2007 Ed released ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ alongside Skool of Thought, featuring ‘When I Was A Yout’ and ‘We Play The Music’ among others.

Ed’s partnership with Jungle Cakes partner in crime Deekline has thrown up some of the most memorable tunes of the decade. The pair recently mixed the chart-topping 8th edition of their Welcome to the Jungle series and have formed the incredibly successful Jungle Cakes Takeover collective with the likes of Benny Page and Serial Killaz.

G Shellz -

Making waves in the drum and bass scene, Gshellz is a force to be reckoned with. Formerly known as Jessi G, she has been the resident DJ for Jungle Cakes for over a decade, warming up the crowd for the likes of Deekline, Ed Solo, Benny Page and Serial Killaz. Whether she's kicking off the shenanigans or shutting them down, G Shellz has been a regular fixture at most of Jungle Cakes' events to date.

G Shellz's favourite set to date was at Boomtown on the Boombox, where she showcased her unique sound to a captivated audience. Her selection is a blend of rolling basslines, high energy DnB and ragga-infused vocals, breaking out of the standard format of commercial tunes and keeping it underground with fun, lively undertones.

No stranger to radio, G Shellz has held down shows on both pirate and legal dance music stations.

Gshellz has also made a few dubs with Ed Solo and recently released 'Cheque', a track that has racked up 60,000 plays on Spotify to date and has become an anthem for women in the scene who have worked hard to earn their respect.

If you want to catch Gshellz live, you can find her at XOYO, Lakota, and the majority of Jungle Cakes' line-ups. So be sure to keep an eye out for this rising star of the drum and bass world.
