As part of the iconic Chicago SJC Crew (Strictly Jungle Chicago), Ry-N has been a long time fixture on the midwest drum and bass scene. He made his mark as a DJ in the mid 90’s at DUBSHACK’s legendary BROCKOUT events and as a resident on The Strictly Jungle radio show alongside DJ Snuggles, Slak, 3D and Casper. From there he went on to a residency at Chicago’s famed Crobar nightclub and made frequent appearances at Smartbar, Metro, Bass By The Pound, Ripe Productions and Drop Bass’s Even Furthur events. In the early 2000s he ran Canvas Recordings and released tracks by Optical, Ed Rush, Ram Trilogy, KC, Klute and Marcus Intalex. 2018 sees Ry-N newly re-energized into both DJ and production. He's currently collaborating on music and DJ sets with Hiroko Yamamura. For this mix he peers into the influence that techno has had on drum and bass music, exploring the psychedelic and darker sides of the genre today.
