Born in Cairo/Egypt and raised in Herne, a city in West Germany, it only took Jasmin about two decades of travelling the world till she first discovered Aotearoa in 2002 and quickly decided that she likes it here and extend her short holiday into a 6 months stay.

Back in Germany, Jazz moved to a bigger city, called Cologne, where she did her Masters degree in Media Management & Media Production.
While studying, Jasmin worked in different media areas such as print, TV and radio, till in 2006, she somehow ended up in New Zealand again, working for George FM and writing a gianormus thesis about "The structure and cultural influence of radio in New Zealand".

Doing a bit of everything at George from scheduling to events & promotion, Jazz soon realized that she was much more interested in its urban lil` sister station, BASE FM.

Jazz started running the station and purchased it in May 2008. From her own mouth "I'm trying to give it lots of support & enthusiasm, a bit of structure, guidance & some much needed German efficiency (I just can't help it) as well as a lot of heart sweat, anger attacks & mental breakdowns. But I love it. It's so much fun and I wouldn't swap it for the world. ...actually, that's tempting...hmmm... . Yeah, nah!".

Besides all the Base & music business, Jasmin loves travelling and exploring new cultures & languages. She also loves her two kittens - or all animals, really -, has a gift for drawing, likes writing and playing guitar, enjoys going out and meeting new people or catching up with friends and can't resist a good game of tennis.

"Kids? ...holy shit, I've got 75 DJs, why would I need kids - same thing?!"

In the mid 90s Dylan C didn't have a turntable and wasn't listening to Nas, Tribe Called Quest, The Pharcyde, G-Funk or the Wu Tang Clan.

Instead, he had a Marshall stack and was the guitarist in Te Puke's greatest death metal band "Fatal Abuse" (true story). Carcass, Sepultura & Obituary were the artists of the day.

After witnessing Slayer conquer the Auckland Town Hall in '95, he decided it was time to move on. The next day he traded in his Cannibal Corpse collection for Dj Krush "Turntablized" & Tricky's "Maxinquaye". The beats were dark, the vocals minimal and this gradually let to an appreciation of all things trip hop and eventually drum & bass.

After completing a Bachelor of Music in Composition & Production he followed his calling to the nations Capital just as the D&B and roots movement in Wellington were starting to bloom. The Drop hadn't recorded anything yet, Trinity were recording their 1st EP, Bass Frontiers were nursing the subculture @ Studio 9, Matterhorn & Fidels were in their pre-renovated states and Giles Peterson set the standard for diverse and informative radio shows via RadioActive.

After moving to Auckland in 2003, he decided to start collecting some vinyl bits and pieces - Bfm & Rakinos were his apprenticeship. He defected to BASE FM during its first few weeks on air and has held on to the Saturday afternoon spot, 2-4pm, ever since.
The Headspace is an eclectic 2 hour journey through Ninja Jazz, Funk & Reggae, Downtempo, Blunted Hip Hop, Dubstep & classic Drum & Bass.

Regular gigs around town has seen him play at Rakinos (Loop Sessions residency), Blowfish, Tabac, Malt, Verona, Aveia and Suite among others. Dj support slots include The Blackseeds/Opensouls @ The St James, Rhythm & Vines main stage 2006/2007, Splore 2006, Lothlorien Rhythm Festival 2006 & 2007 and numerous dj sets up at The Leigh Sawmill.

He still doesn't own turntables & his most prized possession is a custom 70's Fender Strat.

Born and bred in Wellington central, Nga Remu delved into studying the art of pharmacology until, whilst holidaying in Sydney she discovered De La Soul would be playing there live.  So, Nga Remu headed home, packed up her room and moved to Sydney to enjoy the selection of international acts she only dreamed of seeing.  Nga Remu had a wicked 4 year holiday and boogied on down til she sliced her Achilles tendon, riding a washing machine down the stairs.  2 years in the heart of the twisted city and then 2 years kicking it in Bondi, Nga Remu knew it was time to come home.

Nga Remu being used to the warmth of Sydney, did not favour moving back to Wellies.  So, Nelson became her new home!  Here she learnt to white-water raft, sea kayak and participate in Bush bash boogies.  Nga Remu spent the next couple of summers travelling around the North and South Island's, jumping out of planes, white water rafting, swimming with dolphins, bungee jumping, flying stunt planes, pretty much any adrenalin junky activity you can think of - and she got paid for it!

Once again, it was time to follow her passion of music, parties and people, so Auckland it was.  Here she studied Music Events Management at MAINZ and this is where she first fell in love with Base FM.  Continuous harassment of Jazz and ‘oula' Nga Remu has a job at the radio station she loves so much!
