AK1200 is the stage name of Florida-based jungle and drum and bass musician Dave Minner. He started DJing in 1989 playing mainly Electro, and in 1990 he opened a record store in Orlando, Florida called The Hottie Shop. His early working relationships were with record labels such as Suburban Base and Moving Shadow. He teamed up with DJ Jeffee to publish the U.S. jungle fanzine Junglized. His first production effort was a 1993 remix of a track by Flex and Fats called Somebody which became the first U.S. Jungle track to be released in the U.K. (the country of origin of Jungle/Drum and Bass).
AK1200 was also the first U.S. DJ to play on U.K. pirate radio, alongside Mampi Swift and DJ Zinc on Format FM. Throughout the 1990s AK1200 tried his hand at just about every variation on the high speed breakbeat musical idiom. He has collaborated with many influential jungle and drum and bass artists including Aphrodite (Artist), DJ Dara, Danny Breaks, Dieselboy, and MC Navigator, as well as with hip hop artists such as A Tribe Called Quest. His debut album, SHOOTTOKILL was co-produced with Rob Playford, of Moving Shadow fame.
AK1200 has been credited for helping to bring jungle and drum and bass to the forefront in the United States with his impressive live performances and prolific remixes, In 2000 he joined forces with fellow U.S. DJs Dieselboy and DJ Dara to create Planet of the Drums crew which toured the U.S. to great acclaim. In 2009, AK1200 launched a new drum & bass label, Big Riddim.
