Wake Up The Lions presents Navigator & David Boomah

Navigator

A true Jungle Father Figure to a generation of Soundboys, ravers and Junglists alike, Navigator is widely regarded as the absolute definition of THE true ‘Junglist Soldier’.

A multi-genre, multi-award winning hit maker, responsible for certified bangers like ‘Mo Fire’, ‘Inequity Worker’ and ‘Ruffneck’ and touring the world with heavyweights such as Lenny Kravitz, The Freestylers, Bad Company and DJ Fresh, Navigator has proudly never ever forgotten his Jungle roots. From ruling the UK Sound System circuit with Ragga Twins back in the 80s on Unity Hifi, to presenting Radio1’s infamous ‘1 in the Jungle’ sessions, the UK’s first Nationally Broadcast Jungle Radio show, Navigator was an integral player in the formation of the UK’s very own unique Sound System & Dance Culture we take for granted today.

Revered for his unique ability to hold a set like no other, perfecting the art of actually hosting a set rather than just roasting a set, letting the DJ’s selection breathe, and dropping killer bars at the killer moments, his voice, delivery, presence and lyrical prowess is like no other. With current residencies held at Jungle Mania, Jungle Jam, Warning, Kool FM, United Colours Of Jungle, Vibena Jungle and ambassador for We Love Jungle, Navigator has an unsurpassed wealth of experience as one of the most respected Mic Controllers alive today, which has cemented his place firmly into Jungle history alongside the greats.
