Afghan Headspin started in 2006 as a project of Mackie (Jason Bull) and Wrisk (Colin Worth). Both came from Resonant Evil, the early-2000s British drum & bass trio of Mackie, Wrisk and Audio (Gareth Greenall). Around 2005–2006 that trio stopped working as a regular group. Mackie and Wrisk opened Afghan Headspin as a vehicle for breaks, drum & bass, dubstep and whatever else they wanted to make; Audio carried on alone. In 2006 Mackie described the new name in those terms: “myself and Wrisk”.
The current project is Jason Bull. Going Down, released on Skint in 2011, still lists Jason Bull and C. Worth as writers and Bull as producer, which matches the duo years. Later records do not. In November 2022 Soundsystem Bassrock issued No One Dies as Afghan Headspin’s first artist album and presented the name as Afghan Headspin aka Jason Bull. The 2026 album KILLA, on DIRTY KITCHEN RAVE, is credited to Jason Bull alone.
Bull’s earlier trail is wider than Resonant Evil. Aliases around that period include Pixel Fist, Slang Banger, KSN, Squat Party and Mackie & Casa Pariah, with releases from the early 2000s on Moving Shadow, Renegade Hardware, RAM, Skint, Breakbeat Kaos, Benga Beats, Rocstar, Together and Ministry of Sound. Under Afghan Headspin the catalogue runs through Skint, Distorsion, Kaleidoscope, Against The Grain, Rocstar and Soundsystem Bassrock, among others. The Calling belongs to the early stretch of the name. A dated early release is True (Ape Music, 2007).
DIRTY KITCHEN RAVE is the centre of the recent work. Bull is the label’s manager and A&R, and a central editorial figure there. From 2023 the name is on the label almost without a pause: JUSTICE (2023), WE ARE BREAKBEAT with Anuschka (2024), BITCH HOOVA!, ACIDICA with Miss Mants and JUMP with DJ Brownie (2025), then ROMERO (January 2026), PHAT BASS and KILLA (February 2026) and Roller Coaster Hands In The Air (September 2026). The same run includes Playbass, Evil Crew, Gruv42, J-Break, Jan-B and Devis Hard.
The records of these years sit in breakbeat, UK bass and rave. Drum & bass and hardcore are the roots, not the day-to-day output. The same period ties the project to Spain, and to Andalusia in particular: a Frosted Breaks / SNSM programme given over to Spanish and Andalusian breakbeat, Pure Bassline’s seventh anniversary in Seville, and Olibass Open Air 2026.
