Sanctuary Radio is a weekly podcast with Bass Coast’s own Staysee Marie. 

Missing the conversations that festival based harm reduction work brings into her life, Staysee Marie started this series as a way to stay connected with community and causes during the pandemic. This show is primarily in interview format, with a new guest joining every week, covering a range of topics from cultural safety to risk reduction, to consent, and so many other conversations under the umbrella of safety!  The show is intended to be a virtual festival sanctuary space, where listeners can connect with information and supports, learn some new things about self and community care, and even catch a little bit of music! 
The show airs on The Dash Radio  ‘Tastemakers’ Channel Wednesdays at 1pm PST, with the archives hosted by Bass Coast. You can learn more by following Sanctuary Radio’s Instagram account, @sanctuary_radio, where you can also share your ideas or questions for future shows!

About the host:

“Playing the opening night of Bass Coast was a moment I’ll remember forever. During this set, it finally hit me that we were back and that our amazing community was stronger than ever. I played all my favourite electro, breaks, and jungle tunes and was immersed in the moment with everyone else”

"10 years of Bliss Coast and the journey goes on. Each year has been a monumental effort and my long-term goal to achieve 10 volumes comes to completion with the release of Muse & Marvel. Over the years many fans have told me how much they still love volume 1, Grass & Gospel. So to round out the series I decided to revisit the year one theme and produce another set of bluegrass and gospel songs refreshed for the festival dancefloor and maximum smiles. It was such a pleasure to perform this along side my biggest supporter and wife Rebecca. Thanks to everyone who joined us for that wonderful experience and to everyone beyond listening now. Much love!"

Relive Ghost Orchid's magnetic SlowTempo set, alongside his new EP 'Dreamere', available for purchase here:  https://bit.ly/GhostOrchid_

“I was literally imagining playing live PA at Bass Coast when I wrote this record. Performance has been a huge part of my life ever since I was a kid. I’ve done a lot of electronic live pa sets over the years, a big part of those with my brother Ben as Daega Sound. The inspiration behind Ghost Orchid is a lifelong journey between two worlds - classical guitar's polyphonic mastery and electronic music's limitless layers. After completing my Masters in Spain, I finally found the freedom to meld these parallel passions into something uniquely boundaryless."

BASS COAST! What a journey. I've played every summer since year 2 and it's been an incredible experience to see it grow and become our home. It is consistently the highlight of my summer to squeeze so much bliss into a set and see the smiles and tears that flow as so many of you resonate with the sounds and emotions. After 10 volumes of the Bliss Coast series I am turning a corner to explore something a little different and so it is with much joy that I can finally share these sounds with you all. Enjoy, as I know you will!
