Jen, better known as Flavours, is a talented DJ and producer based in Milton Keynes, UK. Her journey into music began back in 2005, when she started mixing on a pair of Technics 1210s. Drawing inspiration from legends like Bladerunner, Tim Reaper, Calibre, Kasra, Dillinja, Ricky Force, Geostatic, and Bailey, Flavours developed her unique style, blending Hardcore, Jungle, and Drum & Bass.
Initially a hobbyist, Flavours decided to fully dedicate herself to music, a decision that’s propelled her career forward. Today, she hosts her own monthly radio show on differentdrumz.co.uk, where she showcases her versatile mixing skills and deep love for the genre. Her sets often feature everything from soulful rollers to high-energy jungle breaks, capturing the essence of Drum & Bass while delivering something fresh every time.
Flavours regularly performs across London and occasionally graces the decks in Bristol, sharing her passion with audiences in two of the UK’s hottest Drum & Bass hubs. Having recently completed a degree in music production and sound engineering, she’s eager to expand her skills further, delving deeper into producing, DJing, and sound design.
In an exciting milestone, Flavours has joined us for our Renegade Riddims mix series. This collaboration reflects her growing recognition in the scene and her dedication to pushing creative boundaries. You can also look forward to her potential contributions to data transmission, as she continues to make waves in the Drum & Bass community.

Q&A:
Sum up this mix in 10 words…
Bold and passionate with twists and turns; full of feeling!
What’s your personal favourite track on it?
Tim Reaper ‘On Sight’
What’s the special ingredient in the mix?
The special ingredient in the mix is my heart. Each and every track has been carefully selected by yours truly to convey what I am feeling inside during this time. I managed to squeeze more tunes in this hour than I ever have….unintentionally! This is definitely some of my finest work.
Tell us about your next release?
I have not released anything yet, however, my first EP will be drum and bass and jungle made using my own sounds that I created on my own synths I virtually built, and found sounds that I have recorded myself using different mediums. My music will consist of vocals that will be performed and recorded by myself, and I hope to find a way of creating something completely unique, whilst still fitting nicely into our wondrous genre.
What have you got coming up?
I have a DJ gig in Camden at the end of January with my friends Sarky Dubz, and another gig in Bristol, also at the end of January with the girls at The Mothership. I have recently (within the last 7 months) been collaborating with the lads down at the Buckle Bunker studio in Essex and am throwing a private party there for my birthday in March (RSVP for an invite!). I am also supporting Uncle Dugs in Southend in April with the guys at Jungle Tek, which I am very much looking forward to! 
When was the last time you actually raved? 
29th December 2024. Also the 28th, 27th, and 26th! That was one heavy weekend straight after Crimbo!! The only way I remain healthy is by raving at least once every 1-2 months at an event that I am not performing at. It is therapy. 
And finally, do you have a message for our readers? 
Big ups to all the DNB and Jungle family! Without your support, none of this would be possible so massive shouts to you!! Keep it real and look after each other. Love to you all!
