SUNANDBASS PODCAST

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 - FD & 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.

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! Tracklist: 01. Vicious Circle – Emma’s Dilemma 02. Anile & Dakosa – Replicant 03. T>I – Hydra 04.

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! Alix Perez - ? ? - ?

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. John's been coming back to Sun And Bass time and again to grace us with his great party vibes and serious selection – whether it's drawing for his native drum or bass, or taking us through his epic 80's collection, we always know that we're in for treat. If you witnessed his San Teodoro 80's party set this year, you'll know just what we mean – the whole town was popping off! And this mix is no different. An eclectic mix of light and dark, rolling and heavy, he's dropped us a real quality set here, encompassing both future masterpieces and stone cold classics. Sit back and bask in the rays of John B, you're going to feel the heat… Tracklist: John B – Take Me To La Cinta Technimatic – Lost Along The Way ft.

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 testament to his love and passion for music. His mix for Podcast #30 draws you straight in. He doesn't necessarily need to draw for the hottest exclusives or big name artists, but this mix screams quality and vibes from the get-go. Go get on that, it's rolling! Tracklist: 01. BANKS - WARM WATER (MAGNAFIDE REMIX) 02. TIM CANT - ULTRA GENERIC 03. MADCAP - F THEME 04. REVIVAL - MIDNIGHT TRAIN 05. LJ HIGH - ENCHANTED SOUL 06.

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 90's Frankfurt Techno scene, Gato likes to draw for both grooving and minimal tracks, and build up a story of wonder, layers and flavours. We hope you enjoy it as much as we are right now, and that your trip back to reality hasn't come with too much of a bump! Tracklist: 01. Efdemin - Some kind of 02. John Tejada - Make it easy 03. n.n. 04. Supernova - All night 05. Padez - Side roads 06. Eda - Love worn 07. Moomin - Au bord de la mer 08. Solomun rmx - Love recycled 09.

This one the sound of the Loxy! Only 5 days to go till Sun And Bass 2014 and we've got a nice bit of extra hype in the shape of SUNANDBASS Podcast 28; to tide you over while you pack your bags, buy that sun cream and try and contain your excitement! Loxy has been representing for proper drum and bass since the start of the 90's, on both the decks and the production boards. Known to pretty much never drop a beat and be absolutely on point with hunting down the latest and best sounds, his technical ability and superb selection have seen him asked to be a resident DJ for some of the best in the business – Metalheadz, Hardware, Exit – and the list could go on and on. He's also really increased his own production output in the last years, gracing labels such as Exit, Digital Soundboy, Metalheadz and of course his own CX:Digital imprint. All of this makes his contribution to the music both undeniable and totally essential – immerse yourself in the sounds – and we'll see you next week on the island!

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 cold classics that always deserve an airing. Sit back, get this mix rolling and smell the Sardinian sea air – soon come!

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 then – even if the kids just started stealing his hairstyle ideas now! SUN AND BASS Podcast #26 comes from the man himself, and put together in his own inimitable hosting style, he educates us on the music and airs some of the finest cuts currently around, yet as per usual, never with any arrogance or elitism. Check this podcast if you want to know about the best drum and bass has to offer right now – you're going to enjoy it.

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 Sun And Bass Podcast once again shows his take on things – buckle up for the ride!

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 ignored, but the quality control that he has managed to maintain throughout is beyond impressive. He is certainly an artist that Drum and Bass needs to be thankful for, bringing musicality, soul and depth, yet also a distinct ear and knowledge for what the dancefloor requires. His DJing is no exception to this, and his SUNANDBASS podcast shows it in spades. Touching all bases, musical, halftime, deep, dancefloor – this podcast has something for everyone, so dive right in….

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 series. Almost 90 minutes of live, fresh, real beats, this one’s chock full of dubs of course, so make sure you lock in and listen carefully for another top drawer lesson!

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 love for drum and bass began after moving to London for one year – and you can hear the 10 years of history in his selection and faultless mixing. Enjoy! Track List: 01. Gremlinz & Ahmad ? The Orchid [Paradox Music: PM028] 02. Need For Mirrors & HLZ ? Rotor [Horizons Music: HZN071EP] 03. Studio Pressure ? Borneo [Photek Productions: PPRO20] 04.

Tokyo Prose takes to the controls for SUNANDBASS Podcast #21 and he takes us on a journey showcasing again why his stock is so hugely on the rise. With his debut album for Samurai Music almost complete, this mix gives us a good idea of what to look forward to – musicality, depth and emotion. A couple of little teasers of his new music feature, the fantastic ‘Goodbye Hands’ that he kindly gave for the SUNANDBASS 10 Years Selection album which you all know well, and also the brand new ‘Songbird’ on Hospital, both great examples of what we can expect on his forthcoming LP.

With tummies still full of turkey, goose, Christmas pudding and Stollen, we figured it’s time to bring in the New Year with a bang, and give you all a little pressie to say thank you for your continued support and also look forward to what the New Year brings for us all. Podcast #20 is bought to us from no other than Mr. S.P.Y, a man who consistently brings the vibes to SUNANDBASS, here once again showcasing why he had us all clamouring for more in Sardinia in 2013, and the year before that, and the year before that….! We hope you have a great New Year, here’s to a fantastic 2014!
