Phunktion

Phunktion by JavaBass is a drum n bass night - the one and only, the most happening one!

Javabass is a drum n bass soundsystem, based in Jakarta, it was created by Jerome, FanDyFMC, Tara, and Josef in late 1999 and originally acted as a fraternity place for new recruits with a mission to create and strengthen the "jungle scene" in Indonesia where all junglist can gather round and enjoy the music they love. Not too long after, the group added other talents to the roster: MC 69, Sketch, Danes and Panji, and has since gain recognition for its consistent progress in spreading the music.

For more than 9 years now Javabass has made a mark in the Indonesian underground dance scene where before there are only Trance and House parties, and this evidently found at the various drum n bass parties happened throughout each year, from the earlier Junglably Loud and Artcore Nation to the more up-to-date sessions like Phunktion and Therapy. The establishment of Javabass itself has had its impact on certain groups of people, prompting them to form similar type of dj/ mc clusters, consequently broadening the scope of Indonesia’s drum n bass scene. Collaborations were soon followed and resulted in parties like Animated Arena, Heavyweight Soundclash, Back2back Session, Liquid Drumz, and Ignition.
