docius

Docius fell in love with Jungle in 1997 when he got his very fist drum'n'bass mixtape "Nuff Bass" from his friend and drumming instructor dj Ässämix who was among the first jungle-spinning enthusiasts in Helsinki during the mid-nineties.Soon, Docius moved to Beijing where he joined several punk bands, gaining respect as the best punk drummer around.The love for beats and parties soon lead him to a party at the Great Wall of China, where he experienced his very first rave, which he considers the milestone in his early musical enlightenment. The genre barriers were broken in the young mind and soon Docius became one of the most active rave-goers of the mainland China.However, the only times when Docius had a change to enjoy drum'n'bass outside his house was when he was coming home from raves. Docius would give the taxi driver the Nuff Bass tape and they would listen to that same tape over and over again, always on shitty taxi speakers.The tape had a varied selection of drum and bass: a tight, skilled mix of some ragga-influenced tracks and some techy ones. The whole package more or less promoted the then contemporary hiphop jungle flavors that really appealed to Docius' in terms of his fancy for musical values and aesthetics.After having moved to Helsinki in 2002, Docius soon spent all his freetime going to reggae, punk rock, hiphop and drum'n'bass parties. Hovever, to his shock, the jungle sound Docius loved wasn't there to dance to. Instead of just complaining, he decided to fill in the gaps himself.Today, Docius is known as the master of street aesthetics, a real Jungle Soldier known of his tight yet rude mixing style, doing what the other latté-drinking, fancy dressing "junglists" wouldn't dare to: Organising his own ghetto raves in squats and factories, and spinning records in his weekly radio show "Viidakkorumpu" on http://www.jungletrain.net , promoting the original rudebwoy styles, covering the whole spectrum thru oldschool mashup vibes to the bleak flavors of techstep and of course some more recent styles! In his bag he always carries some fresh dubs, some lesser known gems from back of the crates, as well as everything in between – always staying true to his rudeboy style, mentality and the untouchable selector skills!..................................................... Currently, Docius is busy in the studio, finally putting the years of inspiration into practise. He's also busy conquering new musical fields in the form of TECHNO music.
