Few DJs can claim to be original architects of the Drum & Bass scene while still operating at the cutting edge more than 20 years later, but DJ Bailey is one of them. We are thrilled to welcome him to the SUNANDBASS Recordings family with his first-ever solo EP.

As a resident DJ for Metalheadz, founder of Intabeats, Serato Artist, and longtime voice of Kool FM, BBC Radio 1Xtra, BBC Radio 1,Bailey's contributions to the Drum & Bass community are legendary. Since being recruited by Kemistry & Storm for Goldie’s iconic Blue Note Sunday Sessions in 1995, Bailey has remained at the forefront of the scene, delivering innovative sets that are as full of energy and groundbreaking music today as they were back then.

Whether behind the decks, on the radio, or in the digital space, Bailey has dedicated his career to discovering and championing new talent. His passion for music is as vibrant as ever, and we’re honored to have him join us with a release deeply rooted in his love for Detroit techno and Chicago house.

“Echoes from the Midwest” captures the rich musical heritage and the ongoing dialogue between drum and bass and its American influences. This EP reflects the fusion of British drum and bass with the roots of techno and house from Detroit and Chicago, highlighting a musical conversation that transcends the Atlantic.

In 2022, coming out of that very weird lockdown, I was starting to sketch in the studio. I made Life Is But A Dream, and I had no idea what to do with it. I knew I was stepping away from my own label Hospital Records, and that was it. I played the track to my agent Chris BluMarTen and he instantly said "send it to Goldie. That would be a vibe to release on Metalheadz". I loved the idea so I did, not expecting for a minute that Goldie would like it. To my surprise, he called straight back, and said he liked it and he’d like to release it.

This felt surreal - All my D&B had only been released on Hospital ever since 1996. And now I was looking at a release on the OG of foundation labels.

G said make another tune, and I was tossing ideas back and forth with Conrad Subs, and we came up with a beat we liked. I’ve been following Genesis Elijah for years, always loved his lyrics and flow, and I sent it him, and he came up with the vocal lines for All On Top. Again, Goldie loved it, and we had a release ready to go.

I’m beyond proud and grateful for the opportunity to release on Metalheadz.

We're excited to welcome EIJER - of the legendary duo Artificial Intelligence - back to Metalheadz for his second solo release on the label.

Titled 'Between The Gap', this 6 track EP builds on the momentum of his 2024 offering, expanding the vision with even greater depth and purpose. True to form, EIJER continues to masterfully balance contrast, merging light and dark across a tightly focused collection of tracks.

Standouts include the cosmic textures of 'Space Freak', the heavyweight, system-ready pressure of the title track, and 'Strip Back', a minimal yet cutting piece led by razor-sharp synth work.

Twintone - Last Minutes On Earth EP (Offworld138)

Release date : July 25th 2025 at the Offworld bandcamp store and worldwide at all good outlets.

Twintone is emerging as one of the standout liquid DnB producers, delivering emotionally rich and polished tracks. His consistent output across respected labels, along with community recognition, earmarks him as
one to follow - and as such we`re stoked to have his Offworld debut at last.

The EP opens with Temptations — a delicate blend of melodic touches, ethereal arpeggios and shimmering atmospheres, all driven by crisp stepping drums and a warm, immersive bassline.

The title track, Last Minutes On Earth, follows with a more contemplative tone — a stepping groove layered with subtle piano motifs and drifting synths, evoking a sense of reflective hope on a mission departing the Earth.

Look out for another exclusive Twintone track coming soon on Transmissions Volume 11.

The Metalheadz back catalogue features almost every major figure in the history of drum and bass, and is one of the most innovative labels out there, consistently crossing boundaries with its releases since 1994. The labels output continues to showcase a maturing genre of music that displays influences from reggae, hip-hop, house and techno with highly-sophisticated and intricately-produced tracks, contrary to the image of the music that is typically presented by the mass media.

Releasing music from some of the biggest names out there whilst at the same time pushing and letting new talent break through are the reasons why Metalheadz continues to stay at the forefront of electronic music.

The Metalheadz label was also the driving force behind the seminal Sunday Session Club Nights, which achieved legendary status at London's Blue Note club. Today, Metalheadz club nights are often sell outs with the label also regularly hosting stages at some of the biggest festivals across the world.
