Right in the heart of our sacred season, we are dropping a gem from the one and only BCee.

His new EP “Shelter” is the culmination of BCee’s long standing relationship to SUNANDBASS. BCee captures the Sardinian smells, the warm sun on your skin, the distant echoes of music dancing over the San Teodoro coastline, transforming it into this four track EP that instantly makes us feel at home.

September has arrived, and it's time to embark on our Sardinian adventure. What better way to set the mood than with a mix from the maestro himself, ArpXP? He's not only the creative mind behind SUNANDBASS's iconic aesthetics, but also a DJ and producer who's been with us since the beginning.

ArpXP's artistic talents have graced us with stunning designs and captivating release artworks for our label. Year after year, he weaves the essence of Sardinian culture and its vibrant colors into our visual identity. As a longtime contributor to SUNANDBASS, this mix offers a sneak peek into his forthcoming album, promising musical gems that will undoubtedly captivate your senses.

Stay tuned for more details about his album, but for now, let the music transport you to our island paradise. We can't wait to share this incredible journey with you. See you on the island!

The new episode of the podcast features Joe Kehoe, known as Trex, a London-based DJ and producer with an eclectic style. He is the author of the hit 'Scrape' on Metalheadz, which certainly didn't go unnoticed at Ambra night during the last festival. We also have other exciting news about him, but it's still too early to reveal. Enjoy Trex on podcasting duties for our April podcast!

Just over one month to go until SUNANDBASS 2015, and our new Podcast comes from none other than @marcusintalex.

His closing set of SUNANDBASS 2014 showed us exactly what the festival is all about – but not content with just blowing the roof off with that one, he’s back once again to show us how it’s done.

This one is chock full of freshness – good luck to the tracklist spotters! 

Best thing to do is stick this on and get yourself thoroughly in the mood for the fun that awaits us in one months time! 

Enjoy!

LSB steps up to mix SUNANDBASS Podcast #42, showcasing the sound that has seen him catapulting through 2015.

After solidly building his catalogue for the last couple of years, LSB has now become one of the go-to names for musical drum and bass. And with tracks such as Leave and The View to his name, the demand just seems to be growing. 

With another stellar EP set to drop on Spearhead shortly and plenty of other music in the pipeline, LSB looks set to keep gracing our ears with musical gems.

DJ Storm really needs no introduction, at all. As one of the most important pillars of the foundations of Drum & Bass, Storm has seen it all and still stands tall at the forefront of the scene, an impeccable tastemaker with a highly refined ear for the music. 

Initially infamous for her formidable partnership with the late DJ Kemistry, the pair were seen as some of the finest DJs in the scene and were hugely influential in the formation and building of the essential Metalheadz empire. 

Storm has since gone on to forge her own distinct path, always known for picking out the finest musical gems and building and blending them together in her own inimitable style. We’re extremely happy that she’s taken the time to do so once again for the SUNANDBASS Podcast – check it out!

The 70th SUNANDBASS Podcast comes from DJ, producer, and Spearhead label head BCee.

Having released over 100 tracks and remixes over 4 albums, and countless other releases since his debut in 2002, it’s fair to say that BCee has made a huge contribution to the Drum & Bass scene. 

Alongside this epic body of work, his label Spearhead continues to grow from strength to strength, having bought artists such as SPY, Technimatic, Hybrid Minds and LSB, amongst countless others to the fore. 

BCee brings something a bit special to this month’s SUNANDBASS Podcast, with a mix of only his music – whether his originals, remixes of his tracks or tracks that he has remixed. He had this to say about it: ‘I wanted to do something different so I’ve given you 90 minutes of tracks that I've produced / remixed / had remixed etc.  It's something that I've never done in 17 years of releasing music!’

We hope you enjoy BCee’s SUNANDBASS Podcast!

Words by DJ Storm:
"I never thought I would have had to organise “ A Night  for Spirit” but with what has happened & the fact he was my first booking when I was asked to be an honorary curator for the 15th anniversary of Sun & Bass. My heart was heavy but it was my responsibility as Spirit was one of my boys for real!

I want to send a heartfelt thank you to all the artists who stepped up on the night and made it an absolutely fabulous tribute to him and his music... and to you the Sun and Bass crew/ravers thank you for joining us and making every moment memorable we really raised the roof for Spirit.

Sun and Bass had a very special place is in heart. Here are the sets from the night, for all who were there and for those that couldn’t make it... enjoy and pls share at will."

Note: Due to technical difficulties the recordings of this night are missing Stamina MCs performance

We've only bloody hit #100! Thanks to everyone that's been with us from the start, and if you haven't, well you have plenty to catch up on - and what better a time for it.

To celebrate, we've got a right lippy little gobshite of a mix from ever-brilliant DLR. Skanking it's way across your stereoscape, DLR has provided an asbolute stinker for us. If this doesnt make you wanna bust out of lockdown for a dancefloor sweat-out, well, we'll just give up now.

This month is Sofa King Sick LP month, a VA LP consisting of artists from over 8 different countries, many different dnb styles and sounds, a quality selection of beats and bass. 

Sampler 1 is out now - DLR, Script & MC Fokus - Perception // Thematic - TDM - fanlink.to/ssdigi011

DLR is otherwise working on a plethora of projects, from The Sauce Recordings & Sofa Sound, to an exciting, and fitting project to raise money-for, and awareness-of hate crimes and racism. 

He's a good egg. We like him.

Etherwood has gone and stitched us a GOOOWWJOOOS liquid patchwork this month. You simply cant beat a bit of cockle warming liquid when the sun is shining, and is he not just one of the best!?

In his own words "I just got the decks out and pictured the sun setting at La Cinta. I could practically taste the Ichnusa". Here here Woody.

We hope this 60 minute dreamscape can go someway to taking you to a moment just like that.

Etherwood has just released a little EP of acoustic tracks called Isolation Jams. And is otherwise working on his next album...

The last set of the week in our „first timers“ series comes from Bailey. It actually isn’t the set he played back in 2004 at the first official SUNANDBASS edition (although it had been recorded by Drum&Bass Arena for World of Drum&Bass - they might even have it in their archives). It’s Bailey’s interpretation of the SUNANDBASS classics, and it’s beautiful. 

Bailey is one of four artists that have played at every SUNANDBASS edition - the others are crew members ArpXP, Soulsurfer and Delicat. That’s what makes him an „all timer“ for us. He usually stays for the whole week plus some additional days before and after the festival. His B2B with A Sides (also known as Baysides) at La Posta in the town center starts and closes the week. It’s the first time in 17 summers we didn’t meet, at least we have this contribution from him. He is such a versatile DJ, always ready to go (hey B, we need a DJ and presenter over here…), and he can play across a wide ranges of styles suited to the situation. We’re lucky to have him as part of the core family!
