Yo! So lockdown is easing. People are back in the pubs and restaurants. It's all new and fun again. Here's a little show to help you celebrate on the way to your venue of choice. Apologies this one is late. I had a very sick pup that I had to collect slap bang in the middle of my show time so I couldn't make my last live Sub. FM show. Luckily, I picked up a cheeky cover show from Mr bossman himsel...

Yes gang! How's it flopping? Production output has definitely come to fruition over the last 2 weeks as the shops are awash with a SHIT-TON of great music. We take a walk wall-to-wall through my favourite genre in this episode. Lots of first plays for artists on this show. Really enjoyed recording it. Hope you enjoy listening to it. Big up all the massive. B

So the sun's out. It's properly starting to get me hype for the summer. Unfortunately more employed for this summer than the last so I won't be enjoying it as much as last year, but as everywhere slowly starts to open back up in the UK we can say things are looking up. Mask up, stay safe, get vaccinated, I love you B

This week has been exhausting. I've been chasing a puppy around and I really hoping it runs out of creative ways of pissing on my carpet soon. I barely managed to get a show together in time. I made sure to still dedicate myself to putting together something of quality. So hope you enjoy this one. Full of bump, bass and beats. Big it B

YO! Warblow people deeple. The clocks are going forward tonight. It means I'm going to lose an hour's sleep. Not happy about that! That means less time to listen to riddims. Just have to do your best to squeeze in as much as this episode as possible! And keep an eye out for mine and Phonetix's project - In The Garage With Phonetix & BrainZ. Coming soon! Large it B

Remember when you could drink into the early hours with friends? Remember friends? Well the UK is on a path to coming out of lockdown. Hopefully we'll all be back in the pub soon wasting our money on overpriced drinks. Until then, I'll keep on the premium whiskey at home. See you in rehab! B

MATE! Talk about a polar opposite outlook of weather since the last show. I had the frigging roof down yesterday! The sun was shining, and I was getting down. Enjoyed this show. There's a nice balance of uplifting vibes and "kick to the dirtbox" bass on this one. Hope it's for you. One love. B

Yes fam! It's been shitting down snow here like it's going out of fashion. -5°C vibes out here, bruv. Freezing some royal Rastafarian nay-nays off. Believe. Well, fellow dreadlocks, you're in for a doozy. The bass at the back of the show may do you some internal damage. So be warned. Plenty of fresh upcoming vibes also. Big up B

Yes kids! So this show was a bit of a heartbreaker for me. Started out amazing. Then we ran into technicals which ultimately meant I had to drop the stream on Sub. FM. We still got the full show for all the playback massi though, so enjoy this journey of brand new bangers. Big up B

Here it is, kids. My selection of the Best of 2020 in Garage n Bass. I had to boil down over 2000 tunes to just over 100. It wasn't easy, and I had to make sacrifices. But all in all, this is my selection for my favourite tunes from the past 12 months. It runs at just over 200 minutes, so it's a marathon, not a sprint. Stick this on when you want to get some work done or grind a savage workout. Bi...

Ey yo! How's lockdown life treating you? It's good to see there's still plenty of UKG out and about. We may be stuck indoors, but it's snowing outside here and I don't mind warming up with some pumping bass. Best of 2020 is now live on the Patreon for subscribers! Coming in the feed for the rest of the crew soon. Keep an eye out for that. And maximum respect to the Patreoners. Enjoy! B

Entering into the New Year with a BANG, bruv. Got some proper heaters for you to kick off 2021 with. Hope you enjoy this one. LARGE UP B

So I did it. I went digging and found a bunch of old tunes for you. The mixing was.... meh. Just enjoy the sounds of yesteryear. Even my mic gave up for this one. Had to resort to using an old pair of headphones for the mic. Proper old school business right there. For me, this show perfectly mirrors 2020. Had high hopes for it, but it ended up a bit of a mess. Merry Christmas everyone. I'll see yo...

WADDUP WADDUP WADDUP I'm Darnell Hayes and welcome to Black Jeopardy... Hang on, I'm finally losing it. What in Zeus's butthole am I going on about? It must be quite curious to watch me lose my mind in realtime. It's nearly Christmas. Here's some music. One love. B

Yes gang! Back once again like a renegade master. Another solid show of 1st plays for me. 100% brand spanking new Garage n Bass. Hope you're feeling this one. B

So mid-show, Biden has been called President-elect for the USA. It's the first time in my life I've been closely watching the US election. Congrats to all Americans. I really hope this sets you on a path to heal your country, both metaphorically, and literally. That was kind of grown up. Oh dear. Let me fix that. BLUKU BLUKU. Skenging the large riddims to your earholes this week with bangers from...

Whodathunkit? I been doing this ting for 10 years straight on Sub. FM. 10 years ago I was living in a house share with someone I used to go to school with, I was in a job I hated working for an angry bellend, and Future Garage was just becoming all the rage. Things have changed a lot for me since then. All for the better. And this show is the one thing that's kept my passion for new music discover...

HOLLA ATCHA BOY! Here's another session mixed live on Reddit. I had a set track list up until about 2/3rds of the way through, then I went freestyle. So make of that what you will. So much music, being served up like the ambassador distributes Ferrero Rocher. Munch it down! B

YOOOOOOO! Man I had fun this week. Chat room was bubblin, bass was kicking and the drums were drummin. Hope you like! Big love. B

Yes gang! So I've been feeling guilty about messing up the schedule recently. I've had a list of tunes that didn't make the cut to the main show that has been growing over the weeks. I thought I'd throw some of them out there on a Sub. FM cover show. So here's 2 hours of banging bump that should be fresh to your ears. Enjoy! B

Yes! Hey everyone! Hope it's all good your end. I'm back again with an action-packed 2 hours of Garage n Bass fun. Just want to make sure I say this - that Rudimental track is doing all sorts of stuff for me. BIG. Maximum love to you all. B

YO! Wahgwarn gang. I picked up a cover show in the midweek so we can get the fresh Garage n Bass rolling again. Check out this 2 hours of fresh GnB heaters. Hope you likey! B

Hey gang! I'm still on holiday, so this is a stop-gap episode of the podcast for you. Freshness soon come when I'm back, I promise. I tried something new. This was designed to be a super bait mix, using only tunes with identifiable lyrics and noises. The videos can be found here: Part 1 Part 2 Not sure about this one. Would love to hear feedback! B

Yes crew! So I couldn't do my Sub. FM show this wee due to other commitments. Friday night was the night though. I fired up the studio equipment, jumped on Reddit, and awaited the downvotes. (Oh yeah, they came). It's vibes o'clock right about now. Hope you're feeling this one. Large up B

Yes gang! So the sunshine was here. I got to spend a few days in the paddling pool. Life is good. What always seems to follow sun, though? Yeah, thunderstorms. It's been a nit noisy the past few days. I thought I'd add to the noise with some thumpin' tunes. Enjoy B
