Stepping up to the SUNANDBASS Podcast and leading us into autumn is producer and DJ, Deekode. Originally from North West England but raised in the Midlands, Deekode has spent years shaping his style and sound, deeply influenced by SUNANDBASS Recordings.

“I remember being a 15-year-old kid walking home from school rinsing Sun & Bass releases like ‘In The Shade’ by Fracture & Mark System, ‘G-String’ by Code 3, and ‘Rain’ by Skeptical on repeat in my headphones, daydreaming of one day releasing on the label. To be invited to guest mix the Sun & Bass Podcast is an honour & a dream come true, a real full-circle milestone & without a shadow of a doubt the biggest tick on my music career bucket list so far.”

Deekode describes his sound as intricate yet stripped-back sonics blended with deep but energetic beats. This mix takes us on an extended journey through drum & bass, opening with shimmering, melodic liquid before venturing deeper into the dark, minimal territory he’s best known for.

Perfect for our transition into autumn, check out this journey mix and let it soundtrack your season 🎧

Bryan Gee returns with another heavyweight edition of the V Podcast - loaded with dubwise rollers, soulful vocals, and raw energy from across the drum and bass spectrum.

Total Science & Break - Big Time Winners (Friction Radio 1 clip)

The first release from DLR's new label from Bristol, 'Sofa Sound'. 

--------------------------

DLR needs little introduction; his name has become synonymous with underground drum & bass and from the beginning he’s stayed true to his roots – he’s never watered down his sound for a more commercial appeal. This stance has seen DLR rise to notoriety, even after his very first output. And following his releases on Metalheadz, Dispatch, Trendkill Records, Shogun Audio and Break’s prolific Symmetry imprint, he’s embarked on a journey which will now see him set up his own imprint Sofa Sound, continuing the ethos which has made him so revered. 
Sofa Sound was inspired by the creative arts community which flourishes throughout Bristol. It embodies the DIY spirit which has sprung up across its many art spaces, helping to nurture the drum & bass scene there which has continued to grow since it first came to the city’s venues. For their first release, they’ve brought together a three-track EP which gives a taster into what Sofa Sound has planned for the coming months. Featuring label head DLR, as well as collaborator Quadrant and even a free download, ‘Sofa Sound 001’ will stand as a monumental part of the imprint’s back catalogue. 
DLR and Quadrant’s ‘Ghostfish’ rolls out on a heavyweight bassline which quickly switches to subterranean levels, drawing you deeper with every pulsing sub. Its percussive elements cut through the mix, shaking the composition and giving an edge with every successive drum beat. ‘Ghostfish’ is heavyweight business... Neither DLR nor Quadrant pulls the breaks following each tide of sonic. 
Up next is DLR’s standalone offering ‘Don’t Make Sense’, a crushing, unforgiving roller with moody atmospherics and stabs of distortion. The track rattles amongst snipped up vocal samples and keyed note patterns, creating an unfamiliar soundscape for you to immerse your aural synapses. And finally, you’re introduced to free download ‘Throwback’, living up to its namesake with metallic kicks and snares which add to the track’s punch. DLR nods to his roots throughout ‘Throwback’, proving his longevity in the game. This history will be brought into the soul of Sofa Sound... A label which will become a staple within drum & basses discography.
