SUNANDBASS Podcast

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 releasin...

Happy 2015 to all of you, and what better way to see in the New Year but with a new SUNANDBASS Podcast of the highest quality. The words sublime, special, forefront and unique are often banded about, but this mix truly has it in spades. Podcast #32, our first for 2015, comes from one of the masters of our music, and this mix is nothing short of superb. A lesson in the creation of sound - no names,...

Podcast #31 – and we’re all in need of some serious sunshine and light therapy! Thanks John B for stepping up and bringing us just that.

If you w...

SUNANDBASS Podcast #30 comes from Stateside badman Stunna. A classically trained pianist as elegantly shown in one of our recent video diaries, he’s had a raft of releases on quality labels, all showcasing his own unique sound and take on drum and bass. And not just satisfied with highlighting his own achievements, he also hosts his own weekly ‘Greenroom’ show on Bassdrive every week, a true testa...

As the leaves start to change to a thousand and one shades, the evenings draw in closer and we all want to be snuggled up in front of a nice roaring fire, the first podcast of post SUNANDBASS 2014 has arrived, and this time from one of our oldest residents. Gato Perez has been part of the crew since 2004 and here he indulges us in another thick slice of his top shelf tracks. Influenced by the late...

As we edge ever closer to SUNANDBASS 2014, one of our long time supporters steps up to the plate. Utah Jazz has been holding the drum and bass torch up high since his first releases in 2000, since then gracing us with 4 albums, the most recent of which, his ‘Portfolio’ LP, has just been released on Spearhead. This mix nicely showcases Luke’s style, blending dubs and new tracks alongside some stone...

Drum and Bass has probably been around since around 1993, give or take, depending on where you stand on the ‘is it jungle, is it drum and bass?’ debate. Paradox has been releasing vinyl since 1992 under his Mixrace (alongside DJ Trax), Brown Assassin and Paradox monikers. This makes Dev Paradox an essential part of drum and bass and jungle music, and he’s been on the cutting edge of it all since t...

Up steps Skeptical to the Sun And Bass ones and twos for Podcast #25 – and once again he does what he does best, rolling out the beats and bass to maximum effect. Since his first releases a few years ago, Skeptical has been carving his own niche of stripped down beats and bass and fresh grooves, ensuring his name in the history books with the anthem ‘Marka’ alongside Dub Phizix and Strategy. His S...

Nu:Tone steps into the fray for SUNANDBASS Podcast #24. The Drum and Bass landscape would be quite a different place without Dan Gresham. After a number of 12’s and the defining ‘Future Sound of Cambridge’ EP on Hospital in 2004, Dan has since graced our ears with 3 Nu:Tone albums and also a Nu:Logic album with his brother and sparring partner, Logistics. Just the shear wealth of music cannot be i...

The Daddy Randall, the DJ’s DJ, the inspiration and role model for nearly all other drum and bass DJs such as Andy C and Friction. He’s been DJing since the mid 80’s, and ripping up drum and bass raves since they began, so it’s fair to say he knows a thing or two about this game! SUNANDBASS Podcast #23 comes from none other than DJ Randall, and we’re super chuffed to have him join us for the serie...

Our March podcast comes from a long-standing member of the family, Rumba. Since 2005, he has been responsible for looking after all the sound matters for the festival, while still finding time to grace the decks in Sardinia with his own inimitable smooth yet energetic style. Influenced by a wide spectrum of sound including reggae, dancehall, live percussion and all kinds of electronic music, his l...

A couple of little teasers of his new music feature, the fantastic ‘Goodbye Hands’ that he kindly gave for...

SUNANDBASS Podcast #19 comes from Clarity – the name on a lot of people’s lips right now. Soon after starting to send his music out, Clarity’s tunes were jumped on by all who were lucky enough to hear them. Sparse, stripped back, ice cold yet immensely powerful, the sounds he was producing belied his tender age – and of course with tracks like this, it wasn’t long before labels such as Samurai and...

Spring is springing here, this...
