Wow, 11 years of blood, sweat, and tears make up one of North America’s most beloved jungle club nights, Respect. Now residing at the famed Dragonfly, Club Respect has called a few of the Los Angeles hotspots its home over the years. Originating at Boardner’s in Hollywood in 1999, the Junglist Platoon have shown its dedication to preserving and progressing the sound and subculture that blew up around the mid-nineties. Respect is where myself and hundreds of people have called our home away from home every Thursday for years. It was the Platoon who inspired me to promote the music and lifestyle as hard as I have; the camaraderie between its members has been a shining example as I paved my path in this city.

I tip my hat to the hardest working Drum n Bass promoters in the great city of LA. On behalf of all of us at Media Contender, we salute Respect Drum n Bass. To celebrate this incredible milestone, the boys have reached out to original UK junglist, DJ RAP to commemorate this anniversary. I know its been a long time since she has played at Respect, so this will truly be a special day.

Congratulations, Respect! I still remember the first time I played there years ago, a nervous and shaky lad just excited to get my place on stage. Cheers to another 11 years!

I couldn’t have said it better. Its a staple not only in the dnb scene out here but really the EDM scene as a whole.
