Dope Ammo is the stage name of Anil Shah (also known as "Coco"). He is a UK-based drum and bass and jungle producer and DJ from Banbury, Oxfordshire, operating from the South and East of England. He runs Dope Ammo Records, a label founded in 1998, and releases music under the Dope Ammo project.

Shah entered the scene in the mid-1990s as a club promoter under the name The Drunken Masters. He moved into production in 1998 and, early on, worked with established UK jungle figures including Micky Finn and Aphrodite. In 2002 he produced a remix of the underground classic "Bad Ass." The Dope Ammo project and Dope Ammo Records were established in 1998; when the project became a solo act, Coco continued it under the Dope Ammo name from 2008 onward.

Dope Ammo’s public career highlights are verifiable and concrete: he has released music on his Dope Ammo Records label, produced remixes and collaborations for a range of jungle and drum & bass artists, and completed commercial remix work for Sony — including an official remix of Alan Walker’s "Faded." His remix of Baby D’s "Let Me Be Your Fantasy" reached No. 2 on the Beatport main chart in 2020. He has toured in 20+ countries and performed at major festivals such as Glastonbury, Boomtown, Let It Roll and Snowbombing.

Specific, published technical details about Shah’s studio methods are limited in public sources. What is documented is his role as a remixer and producer across jungle and drum and bass material: his 2002 remix of "Bad Ass" and his later high-profile remixes (Baby D, Alan Walker) show a sustained focus on reworking established tracks for club and electronic-music platforms. He operates as both producer (creating studio remixes and label releases) and DJ (performing live at festivals and international dates).

When discussing musical style in factual terms tied to his output: Dope Ammo’s catalogue and credited remixes place him squarely in the drum and bass/jungle spectrum. His release and remix credits demonstrate an emphasis on reimagining well-known vocal tracks and classic jungle material for modern D&B audiences — a through-line visible from the 2002 "Bad Ass" remix to the 2020 Baby D chart success. Beyond those named releases, he has produced collaborations and remixes for other jungle and D&B artists, as noted in his credits.

Documented collaborators and scene connections include Micky Finn and Aphrodite (work from 1998) and commercial remix work for Sony (including Alan Walker’s "Faded"). The public record does not list a full discography within the supplied sources, but it does record Dope Ammo Records as his primary imprint and the transition to a solo Dope Ammo project in 2008.

Publicly verifiable facts about Dope Ammo emphasize his twin roles as producer and DJ, his Banbury/Oxfordshire base, the founding of Dope Ammo Records in 1998, early work with Micky Finn and Aphrodite, the 2002 "Bad Ass" remix, the 2020 Beatport No.2 Baby D remix, the Alan Walker "Faded" remix for Sony, touring in 20+ countries, and festival appearances at Glastonbury, Boomtown, Let It Roll and Snowbombing.
