Sofa Sound presents: Hollie-may (Jungle Mix)

We are sad to say its the last Hollie-May Presents show for a while, but we are glad to introduce No Nation before we go, with a wicked selection of jungle / dnb cuts to take you through your festive paces in style. 

This entry also includes an insightful chat covering many topics, such as historical and social struggles within music, patterns that remain relevant today and what steps can be taken to improve diversity in our scene. 

Many thanks to No Nation for the mix and conversation - and a big hug to Hollie-May for curating and presenting this incredible series over the past few years - we wish you well on your travels ❤

Hollie-May Presents: No Nation

SLINK and Daytimers are pleased to present "Phiriya” by Enayet, their first collaborative release. Full release w/ remixes will be out March 10th on Vinyl + Digi.

Originally commissioned by the Samdani Art Foundation for artist Shezad Dawood’s “Concert from Bangladesh” film, “Phiriya” was composed and produced in collaboration with Daytimers’ Provhat, Dhaka-based composer/sitarist Nishit Dey, and a full ensemble of Bangladeshi vocalists and musicians.

The title track is a continuation of the modern club electronics and traditional Bangladeshi instrumentation explored in Enayet’s previous releases.

Recorded remotely across continents via late-night Zoom sessions, the piece draws equal inspiration from classical Indian raga, Nazrul Sangeet (a 20th Century Bangladeshi canon of revolutionary songs), and the diasporic blends of the 1990s/2000s Asian Underground movement. Translated loosely as “Turning” or “Returning”, this work is Enayet’s words, a reflection of a “shared and evolving cultural identity, in a young nation, in a region where national borders have been repeatedly shifted and redrawn over the course of the last century or so”.

GTA (Girls Take Action) - 11 September 2019

On this latest episode of The Vocal with Valiant Emcee, we have one of the most legendary vocal talents in drum-n-bass history, the inimitable Dynamite MC. We talk about his upcoming album with another icon, DRS, set to be released on Hospital later this year in what will arguably be the most anticipated MC-led drum-n-bass album ever. Before that, we speak to a vocal legend in the making, Anastasia, who has become one of the most in-demand songstresses in the genre. We discuss how she got into drum-n-bass, her evolution into a live artist, her new tracks on Inner City Dance and Ram, and her new mix with Tyr Kohout.

Hollie-May Presents: DJ AMA

During SUNANDBASS 2019, we were proud to host EQ50's special talk presented by Marcus Intalex Music Foundation Radio. The talk was hosted by DJ Flight who brought together and interviewed many of the badass womxn from our community and which ultimately inspired us to present them bit by bit this December calendar.
These conversations are finally to be released as videos and podcasts for you to (re)discover little by little.
It goes without saying that the MIMF would be deeply grateful for any kind of donation.

Stay tuned. Stay home. Stay safe. Lift up your spirits.

EQ50 Special hosted by MIMF

It has only been a little more than a year, but it feels like another era since DJ Flight held the EQ50 talk for us on a sunny September day in La Cinta Beach Bar. Aren’t you curious what happened to everyone? Digging deep into how the community will respond to the urgent call for equality further sparked by the blacklivesmatter movement, but also how including and encouraging of equality can be displayed in a COVID world swept void of gigs. What are future plans and has anyone had space for creativity while major life changing events happened nonetheless? DJ Flight brought us an update with Chickaboo, Reid Speed, Philo, Sweetpea, Mantra and Alleycat, and a big thank you to all these artists for taking part. Now, go and grab some of these yummy Christmas cookies and a hot chocolate, listen and enjoy.

Finally, what can we say about 2020? Apart from souls lost and dreams shattered, we‘ve learned a lot of lessons this year. To honour what we have lost means to make every day count. Let’s build on it and join forces to create a happier and better place. There were so many people volunteering and ready to help selflessly, raising money through music for charity. A lot of virtual events were inclusive and showed how successful and colourful we’d be if we leave no-one behind. Whatever the future is going to be, it is in our hands to write a happy ending and share love, trust and respect. It may be hard to predict where the world is going in 2021, but let's not sit around and wait for something to happen. This year, we will bring on the SUNANDBASS monthly podcasts, interesting talks, label releases and make new dreams come true. We hope this is a year where we can all create new things and continue to push through these difficult times together.
Let’s rise above the challenge and look forward to 2021 and beyond! Your SUNANDBASS crew

Hollie-May Presents: LIOHNESS

Philth went live in the mix exclusively for Dispatch Recordings (to a great response) on the evening of 07/02/2021 via our FB channel, the 1 hour & 45 minute set features music from the ‘Full Moon EP’ and plenty of heaters.

The 'Full Moon EP' is available now via:
• Dispatch Store - http://bit.ly/DIS162W
• Bandcamp - http://bit.ly/DIS162BC
• All other stores - https://fanlink.to/DIS162

‘The Full Moon EP’ sees Philth & Wreckless join forces for a project created during two sessions at Philth’s studio. With their solo work making up some of our favourite tracks on the label, this combination of artists makes the EP quite special. 

Sharing a love of classic breakbeats and 1999 tech rollers, they made a conscious decision not to over-polish the mixes - keeping the raw edge to the drums and dirty bass textures. Aiming to bring back the rough feel of their favourite older tunes, with arrangements that roll out for the DJ's. 

During these sessions Wreckless noticed that it was a ‘Full Moon’, just as the title track was taking shape - a drum led track that grows and develops throughout, balancing layers of subtle additions to the driving weight of the tune.   

These concepts are reflected in the artwork, with the 'tech moon' representing the meeting of rugged natural sounds and modern technology.
