Electric Jungle brought a strong night of drum and bass to Richmond, with a lineup rooted in deep selections, rolling basslines, and the more soulful side of the sound.
The Turnstyle crew was proud to bring UK producer and DJ Villem to the city for a rare opportunity to hear one of the scene’s respected selectors and producers in an intimate setting. It was the kind of booking that reinforces why bringing international talent to Richmond is so important to our rising community.
The night was lit from beginning to end. Baltimore’s Mark Taylor set the tone early, laying down a considered selection of deep rollers. Joanna O. kept the energy moving up before Villem took over, delivering a set that carried the night through to its close. He played a ton of his own releases as well as new and forthcoming sounds too. It was jazzy, fun, and rolling vibes. It’s one of the best sets we’ve heard in Richmond this year! Big ups to Villem on that amazing set.
The combination of Loso, drum and bass, and the Danley Sound Labs system made for a room that felt built around the music. No distractions, just quality selections, a proper sound system, and a dancefloor full of people who came for the same reason. to dance! We grabbed a few pix of the night, but if you’ve been to this spot, than you know that it’s incredibly hard to grab photos. It’s dark in there! But we love it! Thanks to D. Crossman & R. Hopkins for a few of the photos below.
Thanks to everyone who came out and made it happen. Richmond showed up!! Another Electric Jungle night in the books for Richmond.
