SUNANDBASS Podcast

SUNANDBASS Podcast #40, and it’s the sound of sunshine with @djpatife!

Just a few days until SUNANDBASS 2015, and what a perfect way to bring you to the Island for your yearly dose of beats, beach and bass.

DJ Patife is a name synonymous with drum and bass and Brazil. Involved in the scene there since the 90’s, his unique take on the sound began to reach further afield after he and fellow countrymen bought us the ‘The Brasil EP’ on V Recordings in 2001.

An exciting, fresh release coming from a new angle at the time, the EP opened the door for the Brazilian take on drum and bass to reach that little bit further, and to help spread their vibe to the world.

And now as he steps up for our Podcast, he’s delivered a brand new mix full of exclusives to once again show us how he does it! Dive in, we’ll be seeing you soon!

Just over one month to go until SUNANDBASS 2015, and our new Podcast comes from none other than @marcusintalex.

His closing set of SUNANDBASS 2014 showed us exactly what the festival is all about – but not content with just blowing the roof off with that one, he’s back once again to show us how it’s done.

This one is chock full of freshness – good luck to the tracklist spotters!

Best thing to do is stick this on and get yourself thoroughly in the mood for the fun that awaits us in one months time!

Enjoy!

SUNANDBASS Podcast #38 – @f-d & @i_am_arpxp

Welcome to a special edition of the SUNANDBASS Podcast!

As of September, SUNANDBASS will be bringing it’s own label to the table once again. With some of the artists closely affiliated to the festival making some great music, SUNANDBASS wanted to release it to the community and share their sound to further represent what the festival stands for.

FD and ArpXP are these artists, and their first EP for SUNANDBASS will be released in early September to coincide with this year’s edition of the festival.

Featuring two tracks from each artist, the EP covers a range of moods and feelings, and each forthcoming release will do the same. Just as with the festival, the releases will not be restricted in style and will showcase the amazing width drum and bass has to offer.

ArpXP and FD have kindly put together this months Podcast to gives us a great insight into what they stand for musically. Flowing smoothly between a wide range of flavours, they have a trained ear for digging out both the freshest new music and the essential classics, and seamlessly weave them together here.

Keep an eye out for the release, coming soon on SUNANDBASS!

SUNANDBASS Podcast #37 is upon us, and joining us for this months instalment is none other than Metalheadz’ @Jubei-1.

Known for rolling it out, whether on the ones and twos or in his productions, he has spliced together some of his favourite tracks, new and old for this mix. Expertly blending smooth, tough, musical and hard, he shows why he is often thought of as one of the best DJs on the scene, able to put together a wide variety of tracks whilst still maintaining a common theme throughout.

With a new EP for Headz just over the horizon, we thought now would be a good time for him to show us what he’s about, and he’s done that in spades here once again. Tune in, zone out and check Jubei.

Spring is in the air – and it feels like the countdown to SUNANDBASS 2015 is truly underway!

What better way to celebrate this than to have a brand new SUNANDBASS Podcast from some of the biggest legends in the drum and bass scene – Total Science!

Releasing records together since 1996 (and individually since 1991!), the guys have since graced the scene with 3 LP’s and hundreds of singles and EP’s, their contribution to the drum and bass landscape both essential and highly influential.

Their SUNANDBASS Podcast is typical of their style when behind the 1’s and 2’s. It’s absolutely chock full of fresh and unheard tracks – and ranges from the more melodic side of the spectrum, through to the harder and more rolling style too.

Total Science just like good music and you can hear it here - if you want to get to know some of the tracks that are sure to be new drum and bass essentials in the coming months, check this!

Long time friends of the SUNANDBASS family, Kred & Handy (aka Matt Elms and Andy Easton) have rolled out this month’s Podcast.

They’re an extended part of the family, having first attended SUNANDBASS in 2006. In 2008 they got to show people their cards musically, playing the now highly coveted opening night slot at La Posta – and it was a night to remember, with people dancing on the pool tables and slapping the walls! Since then, they’ve been back in the mix at SUNANDBASS every year.

Back in London, they help to run one of London’s finest independent Drum & Bass nights, Launch, whilst also finding time to host a weekly radio show on Origin FM.

This Podcast showcases the classic Handy & Kred style, a blend of old and new, smooth and abrassive - mixing classics with new favourites, and with the odd dub thrown in for good measure. Recorded live, they suggest you serve with a chilled Ichnusa and enjoy!

His set at SUNANDBASS 2014 literally took the roof off of Ambra Night – a killer selection expertly put together – Spirit’s set was red hot and so it was a no brainer to get him back for the Podcast.

An important pillar of the Drum and Bass scene, Duncan Busto aka Spirit has been putting out essential tracks since 1996 on a whole host of labels including Metalheadz, CIA, Renegade Hardware and his own Inneractive imprint amongst many others.

His SUNANDBASS Podcast showcases yet more strings to his bow – the first half made up of some of his favourite new deeper cuts, expertly woven together and illustrating his interest in a whole range of music and a style people might not expect. In the second half it’s time for an education, ‘Spirit’ style, as he takes us back to the early doors of Jungle and Drum and Bass – this one’s going to be on rotation for a while to come for sure!

Blindside steps up for Podcast #33.

Dan has been integral to the UK scene for a hot minute now – schooled on Ratty, Pilgrim, Scotty, Fabio and Bukem at Quest from ‘92, he helped run Pro-Session and Autumn before starting his own event in 2006, Break Thru, and has since joined the SUNANDBASS crew in 2014.

He is also the founder of Blindside Recordings, a label that has been responsible for releasing music from some of drum and bass’ most important producers from the early 2000’s onwards - including the incredible DBridge remix of Dreamworld by Physics, Konspiracy by Marcus Intalex and Noisia’s first release. Blindside Recordings will be making a come back later this year beginning with a release from Calibre, so stay tuned for that!

Here’s his mix, a memoir of SUNANDBASS, a real DJ mix live and full of both dubs and total classics – dive right in!
