Temulent (Judson Snell) is a drum and bass / breakcore producer and DJ from New York City, NY. A founding member of the Ohm Resistance label alongside Submerged, he has released[1] over twenty vinyl singles and EP's, with an even larger catalog released digitally through his label Nervosa.

Combining elements of drum and bass, glitch, and experimental electronic music,[2] Temulent's relentlessly dark fusions of "bludgeoning breaks, personality-disorded bass, and cringing atmospheres."[3] Described by labelmate Submerged as "too drum n' bass for breakcore (and) too breakcore for drum n' bass".[4] His first two Ohm Resistance EP's ("Progressive Illness Vol. I and II") still appear on DJ sets and streaming playlists almost twenty-five years after their release.

In 2003, Temulent and Submerged created the Obliterati imprint as a return to the darker origins of their early Ohm Resistance releases. Though many labels and DJ's were beginning to abandon vinyl records as their primary medium, the label continued to enjoy physical media sales around the world, including support from influential artists like Nasenbluten (Mark N) and Panacea.

With family and his advertising career[5] obligations (he has worked extensively as an agency Creative Director for his work with Michelin, Six Flags, and Lexus) taking increasing priority, Temulent went on hiatus in 2007. During this time, he continued to produce music and sound design for commercials, independent film, and television. From television shows like Mad Men and Drugs, Inc. to commercial work for the TRUTH anti-tobacco campaign, General Mills, Coca-Cola, to major movie releases including "Pixels".

Nearly a decade later, Temulent created "Nervosa[6]" in 2016, a digital, singles-only imprint to directly release his own new original music that he coined as "neurotech" (a portmanteau of "neurofunk" and "techstep"). Quickly gaining support from fellow artists including HammerZz, Bakteria, SIGNALFISTA, Todd Buchler, and Arsenic. Enjoying full creative control, he released "Progressive Illness Vol III", an extended EP with remixes from DJ's KC, HammerZz, and Terror Cell.

After reuniting with DJ Submerged and Ohm Resistance celebrating it's twenty-fifth year as a label, Temulent's first EP on the label in two decades was released in 2024. "Demonologie Chapter One" re-established his name in dark drum and bass.

Though far more invested in both maintaining a presence as a producer and label manager, Temulent has performed on bills with globally-recognized artists including Klute, ODI, Evol Intent, Doormouse, and Dieselboy.
