The ultimate Drum & Bass winter massive

If you care about proper low-end and a crowd that actually knows its history, Jungle Bells is the winter event you clear your calendar for.

A brief history: how Jungle Bells became Atlanta’s DnB heartbeat

Jungle Bells began as a holiday-themed party in Atlanta back in the late 1990s and has been shepherded from flyer-era throwdown to a bona fide US drum & bass cultural hub. Co-founders Brandon Couturier and MJ Lee built the brand from small club nights into a year-round series (Summer Bells, Autumn Bells and the December “massive”), attracting global names and a devoted traveling crowd. The event’s growth — from niche night to multi-stage takeover — is well documented in contemporary EDM press and festival roundups.

Why it matters: the promoters treat DnB like a culture, not a calendar item — that curatorial care is why artists and fans keep coming back.

Who Produces Jungle Bells?

Jungle Bells is produced by Jungle Bells LLC, led by co-founders MJ Lee and Brandon Couturier. Since the late ’90s, the duo has grown the event from a grassroots holiday party into one of the most recognized drum & bass festivals in the U.S. Their mission is simple but powerful: keep DnB alive in Atlanta by pairing pioneers like Roni Size with next-gen names like BOU and Goddard. Beyond the December festival, they also run seasonal spinoffs like Summer Bells and curate after-parties that extend the music well past sunrise.

Past Artists and Noteworthy Moments

Over the years Jungle Bells has hosted a who’s-who of the genre — everything from pioneers to the freshest UK talent:

Legends and pioneers: Roni Size, Dillinja, Danny Byrd, Sub Focus (special club and album-launch appearances).
UK mainstays & modern heavyweights: Matrix & Futurebound, Ed Rush & Optical, Kings of the Rollers (plus local heavy hitters and rising US names).
Noteworthy moments: the brand’s move to fully take over The Masquerade’s multiple rooms, the launch of Summer Bells and official after-parties, and claims about running one of the biggest VOID PA rigs in the region (promoter/host quotes).

What to expect at Jungle Bells 2025 — lineup preview & sets to watch

This year’s announcement is the biggest yet: the festival expands to 2 nights, 4 stages, 70+ artists — a real all-hands DnB statement. Expect a mix of high-energy rollers, halftime and liquid sets, MC-led old-school vibes and big experimental moments. Key draws:

Rudimental — crossover crowd-pleasers with a live/electronic hybrid; high-energy, festival-size moments likely.
Roni Size — legendary, expect a history-spanning set that rewards heads who know their jungle roots.
BOU and Kings of the Rollers (ft. Inja/Serum) — two flavours of modern UK bass: dark rollers and soulful MC-driven anthems.
ÆON:MODE (Blanke), Goddard, Mandidextrous — watch for creative genre blends, bass crossovers and potentially the set that breaks out on socials.

Final notes — why Jungle Bells matters

Jungle Bells is one of those rare North American events that treats drum & bass like an heirloom — curating legends, supporting new talent, and building a repeatable seasonal experience that draws people from across the U.S. (and beyond). This year’s expansion to two nights and a four-stage Masquerade takeover makes Jungle Bells 2025 a legit bucket-list stop for DnB lovers. If you’re serious about bass, this is the winter weekend to plan.

Final Thoughts: Drum & Bass in 2025

Drum & Bass isn’t one sound—it’s a spectrum. From the roots of jungle to the polished weight of liquid, from neuro’s alien bass design to the halftime swagger of Ivy Lab, each subgenre pushes the culture forward in its own way.

The beauty of D&B in 2025 is its range: underground nights built on hypnotic rollers sit right next to festival anthems and sambass sunshine. The scene keeps mutating, and that’s exactly why it stays alive.
