The godfather of Drum & Bass in America, AK has been the link between the music and the fans and DJ’s alike in the United States ever since its inception. He is the longest running DnB DJ in the USA, and was the first to give exposure to the hundreds of UK-based DJ’s and producers. His annual Planet Of The Drums tour, alongside fellow comrades Dieselboy and Dara with frontman Messinian, has been the most successful running electronica tour since it began in 2000.

Over the years AK has released 8 mix CD’s, and 1 artist album along with several singles. He has remixed countless well know electronic acts such as Crystal Method, Rabbit in the Moon, Keoki, Dub Pistols, Cirrus, Freestyle, Rachel Wallace, A Tribe Called Quest, and many more. His remix of Cleveland Lounge’s Drowning was in regular rotation on radio stations all over the USA and is widely viewed as the most well known DnB tune in America, and was on dance charts all over the world. His A&R work with longtime friend Rob Playford on the legendary Moving Shadow label has helped make AK one of the most influential DnB figures on the globe.
