An underground drum and bass artist.
Bailey has been entrenched in drum & bass and jungle since the earliest chapters of the movement - his role on pirate station Energy FM, his residency with Metalheadz during its most era-defining Blue Note moments, his 10 year tenure at BBC Radio 1Xtra, the list goes on – but most importantly he’s still right in the heart of the scene now. Resolute, inspired, dedicated; he’s one of the most consistent selectors and supporters of the genre in every possible direction. As a broadcaster he’s never been busier with regular shows on Mi-Soul, Subtle FM & DNB NYC allowing him to push the very best of new drum & bass and champion new talent across multiple platforms and territories. As a promoter he’s the co-founder of Soul In Motion, an event brand dedicated to the true underground sound that’s renowned for its mid-weeklies & unique inner-city locations. As a vibe-obsessed producer, he’s developed a powerful line of releases on Metalheadz, Full Cycle & C.I.A. As a teacher at Point Blank & Middlesex University, he’s fully committed to ensuring the movement is just as strong for the next generation, sharing his knowledge & insights in the same impassioned way he shares the sounds he loves as a DJ. Above all, he’s one of the most articulate, incisive, deepest-digging & industry-respected DJs in the game. Foundation-deep roots & reference points and a stash of dubs you’d sell your soul for, his sets are singular experiences that join the dots & weave the genre’s many sub-styles.
Bailey plays forward-thinking drum and bass and jungle, rooted in the foundational sounds of the UK underground scene.
Bailey emerged from early London pirate radio stations like Energy FM and historic residencies with Metalheadz at the Blue Note.
