AK1200

AK1200 is a DJ and music produced from Florida who specializes in drum and bass music.

He started DJing in 1989, mainly playing Electro, and in 1990 he opened a record store in Orlando, Florida called The Hottie Shop. His early work relationships were with record labels such as Suburban Base and Moving Shadow. He made a team with DJ Jeffee to publish the U.S. jungle fanzine Junglized.

His first production effort was a remix of a Suburban Base Records track by Flex and Fats called Somebody, in 1993, and he became the first U.S. producer of Jungle music to release a track in that style in the United Kingdom. AK1200 was also the first American DJ to play on English pirate radio.

During the 1990s he tried his hand at breakbeat, and collaborated with many influential jungle and drum and bass artists like Aphrodite, Dara, Danny Breaks, Dieselboy, and MC Navigator, as well as with hip hop artists such as A Tribe Called Quest.

His debut album was SHOOTTOKILL and was co-produced with Timecode, the founder of Moving Shadow record label.
