LSB steps up to mix SUNANDBASS Podcast #42, showcasing the sound that has seen him catapulting through 2015. After solidly building his catalogue for the last couple of years, LSB has now become one of the go-to names for musical drum and bass.

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.

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

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 i...

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 hi...

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 - includi...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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.

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 su...

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 Exit were knocking at his door. His performance damaged SUNANDBASS this year, and now he’s back for...
