Dj Die & Break : Coming From The Top (skate or die)

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.

The formidable duo of Seba & Paradox return to Metalheadz, more than 5 years after their first collaborative release on the label.

Both artists are prolific in their own right, each with their own distinctive signature sound that they have managed to seamlessly combine, resulting in truly first-class drum and bass. This latest offering is no exception as Metalheadz present both 'Cypher' and 'Orlean' to the world, another masterclass from Seba & Paradox.

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.

~ Tony

London Elektricity - All On Top (ft. Conrad Subs & Genesis Elijah)

Without a doubt one of the most iconic and legendary reggae labels to come out of the UK, Fashion Records has a rich and deep history that reaches far beyond the world of reggae. The brainchild of John MacGillivray and Chris Lane, two music devotees who manned a market stall in Clapham Junction selling imported reggae and ska vinyl during the late 70s (which later went on to become the hugely popular Dub Vendor shop), the label was set up in 1980 and started generating hits instantly, regularly topping the UK reggae charts and attracting attention further afield. Soon a recording studio was built, which served as a drop-in for most of the Jamaican stars passing through London at the time. Horace Andy, Johnnie Clarke, Alton Ellis, Frankie Paul, Junior Delgado and many more household names all spent time in the A-Class studios during the early days, although it was the stars of the new UK reggae explosion that really put the label on the map. Alongside artists such as Dee Sharp, Keith Douglas, Papa Face & Bionic Rhona, the label was a springboard for artist such as Asher Senator, Macka B, Andrew Paul and Smiley Culture, the latter whom scored a top 20 hit and a couple of appearances on Top Of The Pops with his 1984 single "Police Officer". 

Going from strength to strength, it was the chart explosion of dancehall in the early 90s that saw more international names come flocking to the label and more hits racking up - far too many to list here, but a brief glance through the discography shows Cutty Ranks, Papa San, General Levy, Top Cat, Tenor Fly, Daddy Freddy and Wayne Wonder all recording sides for the label. With the subsequent lull of mainstream dancehall hits, it wasn't until another more uniquely English style of dance music came around that the label was rediscovered; jungle. Based around the soundsystem style of Jamaican music, with an emphasis on the cutting drums and heavy basslines, young jungle producers used many of the tracks recorded and played by the previous generation as its backbone, the vocals given new life by the rudimentary samplers being used in bedroom studios all over the land. 

Fast forward 25 years and those reverberations are still being felt today - drum & bass, dubstep, hip hop, trap and almost any other sub-genre of what many now refer to as "bass music" has the DNA of reggae and dancehall running through it, so its only right to expect a little payback at some point. A&R'd by music fanatic and owner of the NICE UP! record label, Jon Sheppard - "Inna NICE UP! Fashion" aims to bring new life to some of these legendary tracks by having modern day producers rework them in their own style and re-introducing them to a new audience. From the frantic breakbeats of rave-revivalist Special Request and the bottom end sonics of Radio 1's Toddla T & Melé, to the modern minimalist dancehall-tech of Machinedrum and the digital dub drone of The Bug, there is plenty to get excited about here. Poland's Radikal Guru serves up some classic dubstep, Germany's Jahtari crew take it back into 80s nostalgia with their 8-bit dancehall style, whilst modern reggae producers Wrongtom, Jstar and Mr Benn all show why they are on the forefront of the UK reggae revival. The tempo gets upped for some heavier jungle inspired remixes from Aries & Gold Dubs, Serial Killaz and festival favourites Dub Pistols, hopefully giving a little bit of something for everybody.
