AK1200 (drum ‘n’ bass)

What:

AK1200 (Dave Minner), an Orlando, Florida-native, widely recognized as The Godfather of drum n
bass in America, has the longest running career of any drum n bass DJ in the US - the first to give
exposure to hundreds of UK based artists in the states. Truly an asset to the electronic dance music
community, his lengthy list of credentials speaks for itself. From his writing background with UK and
US-based music magazines, to his A&R… work for Moving Shadow, all elements have served to create
incredibly high demand for his performances and production work, taking him to all corners of the earth.
AK s extensive discography includes collaborations and remix work with talent quite diverse in range -
from electronica greats Rabbit in the Moon and Crystal Method, to hip hop s Tribe Called Quest. His
classic remix of Cleveland Lounge’s “Drowning” is one of the most widely recognized drum n bass
songs in America.
