Few DJs can claim to be original architects of the Drum & Bass scene while still operating at the cutting edge more than 20 years later, but DJ Bailey is one of them. We are thrilled to welcome him to the SUNANDBASS Recordings family with his first-ever solo EP.

As a resident DJ for Metalheadz, founder of Intabeats, Serato Artist, and longtime voice of Kool FM, BBC Radio 1Xtra, BBC Radio 1,Bailey's contributions to the Drum & Bass community are legendary. Since being recruited by Kemistry & Storm for Goldie’s iconic Blue Note Sunday Sessions in 1995, Bailey has remained at the forefront of the scene, delivering innovative sets that are as full of energy and groundbreaking music today as they were back then.

Whether behind the decks, on the radio, or in the digital space, Bailey has dedicated his career to discovering and championing new talent. His passion for music is as vibrant as ever, and we’re honored to have him join us with a release deeply rooted in his love for Detroit techno and Chicago house.

“Echoes from the Midwest” captures the rich musical heritage and the ongoing dialogue between drum and bass and its American influences. This EP reflects the fusion of British drum and bass with the roots of techno and house from Detroit and Chicago, highlighting a musical conversation that transcends the Atlantic.
