The Face Of Bass

A short Q&A with Bailey:
Can you remember playing this set at all?
This was one of those nights when everything fell into place. Metalheadz Sessions at Blue Note were always above average but these kind of nights- where every element gelled perfectly. in terms of vibes and living life, these were the ones that people waited for. 

What were your most memorable moments from The Blue Note?
Spotting a famous face you didn't expect to see there was a great thing. It made me feel proud of the elements that made the burgeoning Drum & Bass sound work so well. It was about more than the experimental beats the DJs played. It was also about the phatness of the Eskimo Noise sound system, the freestyle energy the clubbers brought to the dance floor and the MCs who felt free to host in a nontraditional way. The unity of those elements that had not been witnessed before.

Can you give us top 5 tunes from The Blue Note?
Phaze 1 & S.O.S. - Space Funk (Timeless)
DJ Trace - Mutant Revisited (Emotif)
Doc Scott - The Unofficial Ghost (Metalheadz)
Adam F - Metropolis (Metalheadz)
Dillinja - Deadly Deep Subs Remix (Razors Edge)
