Bombah

DJ / Producer - Winnepeg, Ontario - CANADA

Biography:

DJ Bombah ( a.k.a. - Jamila Ezzahir) has been actively involved in the Winnipeg drum & bass scene since 2000. In early 1999, she was introduced to the sounds of local breakcore / IDM guru Venetian Snares ( a.k.a. - Aaron Funk: Planet Mu / Sublight / Addict ) and was immediately attracted to the insane drums and time changes of breakcore / IDM / mash-up. Her love of reggae music combined with the breakcore-style drums of ragga-jungle, cemented her newfound interest in drum & bass.

Jamila has held down DJ residences at the long-running "Extra Strength Saturdays" ( '04 -'06 ) as well as "Re:Fresh Thursdays" both, on her own, as well as with The Rizla Kru ( featuring herself, DJ Cookiemonstah & DJ Koza ). In 2006, Minneapolis artist The Artbreaker remixed a track she had written with local artist DJ Dexx. Soon after, Bombah was inducted into the Vinyl Pusha Sound System. Being part of the Vinyl Pushas helped Jamila to get her name out further, eventually leading to having some of her tracks pressed as dubs and played out by some of her biggest influences, Slyten ( Dub Chamber / Ghetto Life / Tonz of Drumz ) & General Malice ( Big Cat Recordings / N20 Entertainment ).
