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 8 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.         
    
Javabass has also worked with respected labels/organizers like Future, Dub Container, Echosystem, Original Naro and Nepathya in bringing some of the biggest rave in Indonesia, namely Higher Level, Rhythm Unity, Destination One, Jakarta Movement.

As of 2005, Javabass had modified its body with a new roster that is now consisted of Jerome, FanDyFMC, Sketch, Random and Celsius. The present crew takes it to another level by throwing a monthly residence at PARC with the infamous PHUNKTION session that is now considered to many players as the zero ground of Jakarta’s jungle/drum n bass scene. Many new breed, also respected guest from other crew had come and grace the deck in Phunktion and they are all showing a menacing sets that characterizes their own unique blend of drum n bass.

A leaner body didn't seem to hinder on the progress in the making as, even further, Javabass managed to kick-off a live performance at the once
much-hyped Thursday Riot at PARC, which was a melting pot of punters from the various background of underground scene.

Phunktion's residency at PARC came to an end around December 2005, along with the place itself corroded out of trend as new, hippier clubs are
shrooming around the town. For all its history and memorable things, many thanks and appreciation to all heads who once kept the place alive n
kickin!!

Phunktion won Paranoia Award 2005 for Best DnB Night, being the longest running dnb night practically in the whole country.

The party continues to be delivered, from THE RAIN which is located at the center of Jakarta, MAROTTI, WEST PACIFIC, and WILLOW
