He also experienced some live performances by Moby, Digital Boy, Prodigy, Human Resource, N-Joi, and Altern 8.
There always seemed to be turntables around him. most of his friends had them and that gave him a chance to mess around and mix with there records.that lead to him buying his own records.Around 1994 hiws friends and himself started a crew called Junglist Platoon which included Oscar Da Grouch, Machete, Clutch, and No Face. They started promoting themselves at clubs with T-Shirts, stickers everywhere they played and went.
In 1999 Junglist Platoon started ***RESPECT*** a weekly Drum and Bass night here in Los Angeles. This weekly club promoted the music and gave Los Angeles DnB clubbers a place to go, dance and congregate. Scooba and the Junglist Platoon have defiantly put alot of work and effort into the Los Angeles scene. Over the past 6 years their club has grown and has defiantly become one of the most respected weeklies in LA. RESPECT has brought LA DnB heads a unique and memorable Drum and Bass experience time after time. www.respectdrumandbass.com
