The Dusk Session Ep 3

Next up on the SUNANDBASS Podcast: Manchester-based Think Tonk! 🔊 With iconic releases on V Recordings, Space Cadet, and Breakbeat Chaos, we’re thrilled to have him on this month’s edition. This mix takes a different approach from his usual selection, drawing heavy inspiration from Sardinia, the artists he’s met, and the iconic tracks he’s discovered over years of coming to the festival. ❤️ Expect everything from jungle to liquid, plenty of Manchester vibes, and loads of his own productions. Taking us through to the start of spring 🎧

SUNANDBASS Podcast #155 - Think Tonk

Bryan Gee returns with another heavyweight instalment of the V Podcast, laying down over two hours of DandB pressure to kick off May in serious style. Expect upfront rollers, soulful cuts and soundsystem business from all corners of the scene, with fresh heat from the likes of L-Side, Sl8r and Fox, Carlito, Winslow, Paul T and Edward Oberon, and London Elektricity and Conrad Subs. It’s that full-spectrum V flavour – smooth and deep one minute, ruff and rugged the next.

This month’s episode also features a guest mix from none other than Command Strange, stepping up with a 27-track session of deep, bass-driven selections. Expect linkups with T.R.A.C. and Freddy B, plus serious artillery from Zero T, Enei, Creatures, Thematic and more. It’s a proper journey through murky textures, soulful licks and chest-rattling subs – no filler, just killer.
