Aphrodite

The Profile

Aphrodite is the stage name of British DJ/producer Gavin King, a key figure in jungle and drum & bass. Known for his high‑energy, club‑focused productions, including the 1999 self‑titled album.

Real name Gavin King; British jungle/drum & bass DJ and producer active since the 1990s; co‑founder of the Urban Takeover label with Mickey Finn.

One review praises Aphrodite’s self‑titled 1999 album for its stripped‑down, party‑ready jungle. The focus is on danceability, deep looped synths, and frenetic snares over a steady early DnB kick. It’s described as well‑produced background energy best played straight through. The verdict: no Aphrodite, no party.
