If like me you make your living working the 9-5 then you might agree that sometimes by the time Wednesday comes around your already ready to let loose after work with a few drink and some drums. Well now London has the perfect mid-week drum and bass event for you.

On 7th May 2014 ‘Soul In Motion’ a new monthly mid-week drum and bass night formed by Bailey & Need For Mirrors returns to the elusive ‘Basement’ situated underneath a very classy Hotel in Central London. Word has it this month’s install is set to be very special indeed. To find out why we talked to DJ Sweetpea who is opening the night at 8PM with a very special Flexout Audio showcase.

We caught up with the lady herself 🙂

So Sweetpea firstly, tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got involved with Need For Mirrors & Bailey at ‘Soul In Motion’ ?

Hey In Reach! I’m Sweetpea and I live in South London. I’ve been djing since I was 12. I first started off (like most people) rolling it out with Numark tt1500’s and some garage vinyl. It was that first moment you hear the drums walking into your first rave when I knew I was hooked and I started collecting drum and bass vinyl properly about the age of 18. I’ve been a part of the Flexout Audio crew for about a year now, I have a remix of a Flexout classic, Taelimb’s ‘Wookie Song’ which is a free download….

That remix pretty much sums up my sound I have a few more remixes on the go which I am really excited about. I’ve been working on some original material for the label working towards my first EP. I play a weekly Friday show on Rudefm.com and have a residency with Flexout Audio at Plan B and Noise London both situated in Brixton where I live. When Tom Retraflex approached me to be a part of this night and rep the crew I couldn’t say no! I’ve been to Soul in Motion before and always enjoyed the unique vibe there. So 8-9pm I will be reppin’ Flexout, playing some forthcoming bits mixed in with some Sweetpea vibes!

What is it that makes this night different and why is this next event in particular very special?

The venue is beautiful, its a really nice basement of a classy hotel  with wicked lighting and a booming sytem. There’s always a good variety of DJ’s and a laidback, friendly atmosphere.  It is good to see London hosting more midweek music events, apart from being perfect for students it is important to have the option to go listen to drums on a Wednesday night its great to see Need For Mirrors and Bailey giving something back to the scene and making this free entry. Total Science are making a guest appearance as well as a special secret guest act that I’m really excited about and last but definitely not least its Bailey’s birthday!

So you have done a mix to promote the night as well, how do you go about planning a mix and do you cover a range of styles or have one particular sound you love?

I guess I think like everyone who is into the scene, I enjoy all sides of Drum and Bass. I love the deep vibes especially, anything soulful with killer vocals, and usually a piano does it for me. Then on the flipside I enjoy dark minimal rolling basslines with energetic hats and cheeky beeps. I usually take a day when planning a mix. I like to make sure the tunes fit well and roll off each other nicely. I enjoyed this mix especially because I got to show off my lighter more soulful side to coincide with the Soul in Motion vibe.

If you wanna hear more from the Sweetpea, make sure you lock in to her regular Friday night show on Rudefm.com 6 – 8! Or stay looped on here Facebook here!

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.

  • It’s difficult for us to introduce anything 2020 related with any sort of positivity, but just for a moment, lets forget about all the struggle and strive of the past year, and take some time to reflect on some of the finest drum and bass music the past 12 months has had to offer. 
.
Speaking on behalf of the entire In-Reach.co.uk crew, we are delighted to share with you our round up of the wonderful tracks released in 2020, that we feel have stuck the middle finger up to this insufferable year!

  • DJ Trace’s first ever release was back in 1991 - 30 years later and he
  • @symmetryrecordings kick things off in 2021 with a 4-track EP from DSP, with his Fake Worlds EP. 
.
To celebrate the release, DSP has recorded a meaty 1 hour mix that showcases his ability behind the decks. With sneaky double drops and tight blends, the mix consists of highlight tracks from the last year or two, forthcoming freshness (including, of course, some tracks from the EP) and some classics thrown in for good measure.

  • @temporec present their new next release from the legendary @source_direct - SPEED is a new Tempo Records sublabel & project released on a limited collectors hand numbered 180gram coloured picture disc vinyl with original & legendary producers who helped shaping the Drum & Bass scene.

Source Direct, along with Goldie, Photek, Peshay and Wax Doctor, one of a handful of stand-out artists who were signed to major labels in the wake of Jungle’s/Drum and Bass
  • This upload is an important one for us here at In-Reach, not only because we’ve got the opportunity to debut music from a label that we collectively respect so greatly, but also because it presents the music of one of the scene’s most talented, and most sorely missed representatives: the late Andy Skopes. This release sees the breakbeat assassin go slightly of course from his usual dark jungle style to team up with the ever-wonderful, and equally prolific Madcap in a luscious, but oh-so dangerous trio of tracks. These tunes are brimming with emotion, which stems both from the posthumous nature of their release, as well as the sheer elegance and tranquility of the music. We send our salutes to both Andy and Elliot on this release, which is a wonderful reminder of how, through their music, an artists soul can live forever ♥️
