JNR BRYSON IS A  PRODUCER FROM SCOTLAND, WHO HAS BEEN MAKING JUNGLE AND DRUM AND BASS SINCE 1999. IN 1994 HE HEARD JUNGLE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND FELT AN INSTANT LOVE AND CONNECTION WITH THE MUSIC. AROUND 2 YEARS LATER HE STARTED BUYING RECORDS AND GOT INTO DJING.IT WASN'T UNTIL A FEW YEARS LATER HE STARTED THINKING ABOUT MAKING SOME TUNES OF HIS OWN AND STARTED TINKERING AROUND WITH VARIOUS SOFTWARE. HE STARTED OFF MAKING MORE DANCEFLOOR DRIVIN MUSIC UNTIL ABOUT 2002. THEN HIS SOUND STARTED TO CHANGE WHEN HE GOT HEAVILY INTO DUB, REGGAE, FUNK, SOUL AND JAZZ AND WHEN YOU LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC YOU CAN HEAR THESE STYLES BEING MERGED WITH THE UPTEMPO ENERGY OF DRUM AND BASS AND JUNGLE.AT THE END OF 2003 HE HOOKED UP WITH 3 OTHER DJ'S FROM GLASGOW AND STARTED A MONTHLY CLUBNIGHT IN GLASGOW CALLED 'URIZEN'. SEEING THE LACK OF VARIETY IN THE SCOTTISH SCENE (AT THE TIME) THEY ARE PUSHING ALL STYLES OF DRUM AND BASS AND NOT JUST THE NEWEST PROMOS. THEY PUT ON A NIGHT WHERE THERE IS A PROGRESSION IN THE MUSIC AND YOU ARE TREATED TO JUST ABOUT EVERY STYLE OF JUNGLE AND DRUM AND BASS THEY CAN FIT IN, EVEN A BIT OF OLDSKOOL.LAST YEAR WHILE ON HOLIDAY IN SYDNEY JNR HOOKED UP WITH SOME LOCALS DJ'S AND PROMOTERS AND DONE 2 RADIO INTERVIEWS AND PLAYED AT A LOCAL BAR SESSION CALLED 'PROTIEN' (R.I.P). HE KEPT IN TOUCH WITH THEM AND HAS NOW STARTED A WEEKLY RADIO SHOW ON WWW.23BREAK.COM PLAYING THE BEST IN DRUM AND BASS AND JUNGLE. IT ALSO GIVES HIM TO CHANCE TO TEST NEW TRACKS HE'S DONE AND SEE HOW THEY GO DOWN. SO EXPECT TO HEAR ALOT MORE FROM JNR BRYSON IN THE FUTURE, WHETHER IT BE DJING, ON THE RADIO OR LISTENING TO HIS TRACKS YOU CAN BE SURE HE'LL BE PUSHING THE DEEPER SOUNDS OF DRUM AND BASS/JUNGLE.
