Hospital’s Bristol via Cambridge recruit @Hugh-Hardie steps up for SUNANDBASS Podcast #73. Already building a strong following for his upfront soul music, the young talent has in the last couple of years become a firm pillar in the soulful Drum & Bass scene. His name stands for beautiful compositions that tick all the boxes for home listening whilst still retaining a certain dancefloor je na sais quoi. Currently busy in the studio (when not on busting moves on his board), Hugh has kindly taken the time to put together our latest Podcast, and has chocked it full of exclusives from both his peers and himself. Dig in!

New month, new podcast. SUNANDBASS Podcast #71 comes from @DJNeptune. Known for releases on labels such as Astrophonica, Droppin' Science, Inperspective, Bassbin and Hospital to name a few, Neptune’s music combines funky rhythms and emotive strings with traditional sampling techniques and technological basslines. Neptune is one half of the dynamic duo Fracture & Neptune, who set up Astrophonica in the early 2000s to showcase their visions of what the music was and what they thought it could become. It is now home to daring artists who share that same flair for rhythm and space, enjoy risk-taking and a have thirst for the new. Last summer, Neptune played his maiden set at SUNANDBASS and tore down the dancefloor with his neurofunk sounds of the late ‘90s. This mix continues in that vein, showcasing some of the deeper aspects of said genre while dropping a few bangers from the time too, of course. Much like fine wine, these vintage records need to breathe; the mixes are long and the tunes are given space to do justice to the time that Drum and Bass was arguably at its peak. So please enjoy!

@djlee is a name synonymous with quality. Known as one of the key tastemakers within the scene since the early 90s, he built up his standing and craft with residencies at some of the finest events in the land, namely Fabio and Bukem’s ‘Speed’ and the infamous Metalheadz Blue Note Sessions. He’s also no stranger to the world of production, having released tunes on labels such as Metalheadz, Metro, 31 and Advanced in the Drum & Bass world, and also for the legendary Watergate, the Berlin based house and techno label. Although never stepping away from the music, or losing his love for it, he held back on the DJing for some time, but luckily 2017 saw him return to the fray, and the future now promises plenty more of DJ Lee, something music should definitely be grateful for! And here he is with nearly 90 minutes of goodness for the SUNANDBASS Podcast. A fine blend of old and new, light and smooth, it’s a perfect start to 2018.
