A.k.a. Captain Jumpstyle
Captain Ahab was an American electropop duo based in Los Angeles, California. They referred to their DIY take on jumpstyle and electropop music as "ravesploitation".The band was made up of producer/vocalist Jonathan Snipes and hype man Jim Merson. They were known for their provocative lyrics and high-energy shows where a sweaty, half-dressed Merson would descend into the crowd to dance and grind on audience members.In June 2006, Captain Ahab won a contest to have their song "Snakes on the Brain" included on the enhanced CD portion of the soundtrack to the film Snakes on a Plane.
