Greek mythology speaks of the three ‘Sirens’: Magnificent, majestic, beautiful yet dangerous creatures, who used enchanting songs to lure sailor’s to their doom; fast forward to 2017 and In-reach: Siren’s series, celebrates 3 of the badass ladies of Drum and Bass; don’t be fooled by those pretty eyes, these girls absolutely bring the fire.

The three sirens were named: ‘Pisinoe’ meaning ‘Persuasive Mind’; ‘Thelxepeia’ meaning ‘Soothing Words’ and ‘Aglaope’ meaning ‘Beautiful Face’..

Our first Siren was Dispatch girl ‘KYRIST’.. Now representing ‘Thelxepeia’ we have ‘SWEETPEA’.

I heard this tale once of a lost House raver from Lightbox who took a wrong turn at the toilet and arrived at Fire room 2, seeing ‘Sweetpea’ on the line-up and imagining non offensive, repetitive beats he made his way the front; He couldn’t have been more wrong. Sweetpea’s selection of rolling bass fused with dark minimal undertones was too much for his unenlightened mind; rumour has it Fire staff put a wig on him and he now sells lolly’s in the girls toilets. OK I admit, that could be another Myth, but regardless, don’t let her name fool you…

Make no mistake, making a name for yourself in Drum and Bass takes commitment, passion and drive; and saving up for her own set of decks at 13 this girl has proven she owns those traits; at that age I once took the kitchen clock to the cinema with me so I knew the time for the bus home, meanwhile Sweetpea is mixing garage in a basement…Who the hell is that cool at 13??

Since 2011 Sweetpea has become a fan favourite at Rude FM, sharing her fantastic catalogue of underground Drum and Bass music through energetic mixes; It’s also not the first time Sweetpea has been a Siren, back in 2012 she was a featured artist for Lisa Nyx’s female troop ‘Syrenz’. It’s safe to say her talent has not gone un-noticed and in 2014 Bailey invited Sweetpea on to his Tuesday night radio show on Ministry of Sound; with fans tuning in from all over the world there is no doubt that by the following day she had hundreds of new fans across different time zones.

2016 highlights for Sweetpea included a release on Terabyte records and featuring on the line-up for Hardware, Symmetry, Ingredients and Freenetik events, I can’t wait to see what she has in store for 2017!

Sweetpea was the first female DJ I saw absolutely own the decks live and also the first I saw really going for it at the front of the rave, she is a true female Drum and Bass ambassador, and it would have been impossible to write about the girls of drum and bass without her taking centre stage.
Being the top gal she is, we have managed to steal her away from her pile of marking (coolest teacher ever??) to answer a few questions, check it:

  • It’s time for another killer edition of Back of the Stack, with the selections this time around coming from one of Manchester’s finest exports, the junglist MC and all round top bloke @chimpomcr

It is rare to find an artist who can be so proficient across multiple disciplines of drum and bass, from rap to production to DJ’ing, but Chimpo crosses between all three with apparent ease. With his new album dropping next month, the the man himself gives us a taste of some of the classic cuts that helped shape his awesome style of filthy bars and filthier bass lines.

  • PREMIERE: Villem - "Deep Step"

@villem_murkt returns to @symmetryrecordings for his first solo release, with two jungle influenced tracks. A versatile producer, Villem has graced different styles over the past decade and whilst his output keeps you guessing, his reputation for quality is never in doubt.

‘Deep Step’ flips this inspiration, as serene strings and pads lead into heavy, cascading breaks; crashing and alternating throughout, coalesced by thumping bass kicks.

  • Dutch artist @_nymfo_ has released music on some of the biggest labels in the scene, but one he keeps coming back to is Total Science’s CIA Records. Having recently released the “Stone Cold EP” on @ciarecords69 we hit him up to have a quick chat about what he’s been he
  • After a lengthy hiatus, Back of the Stack returns! This edition plays host to a certified legend of the Drum & Bass scene in @architexink who’s dark, dirty beats have been reverberating through London’s club scene since the late 90’s. If you can think of an iconic London club night, Ink has probably had a residency there; Metalheadz at Bule Note, Hardware at The End and Speed at Mars Bar were all on the list of dancefloors being torn up by Giles on a regular basis.
