Konkrete Jungle is the longest-running Jungle drum and Bass weekly in the world. Nearly everyone who is anyone in New York City got their start here, and without it, Jungle Drum and Bass would eventually cease to exist in this city. From it's humble beginnings in a little bar on Chrystie Street in the Lower East Side of New York City to hosting events in some of the hottest clubs in the City and the nation, Konkrete Jungle has been the proving grounds for Junglists of every discipline. The history of Konkrete Jungle is a story of triumph, defeat, and rebirth; a story of memorable times and times where the extreme pressure of a fascist mayoral regime nearly spelt disaster for the foundation of NYC Jungle Drum and Bass.

When it comes to Hip Hop, Brooklyn New York is home to many great Mc’s and artist of many genres. To anyone who has ever visited the borough Brooklyn has wide mix of cultures, ethnicities, and renowned musicians living within some of the most historic neighborhoods in the world. Growing up within the melting pot has inspired the MC known as T.R.A.C. His name alone clearly states what his intent is all about….” To Rule And Conquer”. T.R.A.C (aka Terry Nickz) is Brooklyn born and influenced. This NYC resident is a crafty songwriter/ lyricist who can adapt to many different styles. He takes pride in being original and “pushing the envelope” while still keeping that classic Hip Hop sound in every song he touches. T.R.A.C.’s influences range from early 80’s to mid 90’s which is often dubbed “The Golden Era”. Being the student at that time has shown him many things through the sounds of Rap, Classic soul, R & B to Classic Rock. His mind is very much open to the world so when he expresses himself it becomes an emotional ride. If not for the lyrics then TRAC definitely has the voice.
