This comment, so well put. Expanded further to, such a pleasure seeing the subculture of an impassioned genre like drum and bass and jungle manifest itself during it's time. - This video of him playing live, as well as the portfolio tape he filmed in his house in this video's suggested section. Incredible to see. As Daniel mentioned, always coming back to it.

I was trying to remember the name and luckily found, I remember watching this yearsss ago, its such a dope style of drumming and overall sub-genre, very jungly and drum and bass-y, alot of pendulums earlier stuff remind me of this guys style

The first time I ever saw KJ Sawka perform was at a music festival called the "Phoenix Festival", which, in 2001 and 2002, was out in eastern Washington state, on Merlin's private property. KJ, at the time, was part of a drum'n'bass trio called "Siamese". He was wearing a space helmet, and, of the 12 sound stages all performing that night, I gravitated to that one. *_Special!_*
