Shambhala Festival fans on Reddit’s r/Shambhala are abuzz with excitement over Justin Martin’s upcoming performances at the 2025 event, speculating that his sets may lean into a 90s ambient drum & bass sound reminiscent of LTJ Bukem’s classic style.
Martin will grace both the Pagoda and Grove stages, promising a dynamic showcase that could blend his signature tech-house beats with nostalgic breaks, jungle rhythms, and old-school DnB vibes. This speculation is fueled by Martin’s history, including a 2012 “Jungle Mix” which featured iconic artists like Goldie and PFM, highlighting his fluency in classic drum & bass.
Festival-goers are gearing up to catch both sets, debating how to balance seeing Martin alongside other favorites like Mersiv. Many returning after breaks from the scene are particularly eager to dive back into the breakbeat-heavy grooves and atmospheric textures that defined the 90s drum & bass era.
While Martin hasn’t confirmed the style or tracklist for Shambhala 2025, fans’ hopeful anticipation is well-founded given his eclectic blend of genres and past nods to DnB classics. For those wanting a taste ahead of the festival, his 2012 Jungle Mix remains available on SoundCloud.
As the festival dates approach, expect Justin Martin to deliver an energetic and genre-spanning experience that could serve as a thrilling homage to drum & bass’s golden era, all while keeping his distinctive dancefloor flair.
