V Podcast 176 - Hosted by Bryan Gee

Bryan Gee digs deep into the foundations for this month’s V Podcast, pulling out a heavyweight selection of classic Bristol drum and bass ahead of the V Classics show in Shoreditch this March. Long before playlists and algorithms, these were the records that shaped the sound. Raw breakbeats, heavyweight basslines and unmistakable Bristol attitude from the likes of Roni Size, DJ Die, Krust and Dillinja, alongside underground pressure from Kamanchi, Mask and Gang Related, Suburban Knights and Scorpio. This episode rewinds to the era of Full Cycle, Dope Dragon and early V Recordings, when dubplates ruled the dance and the Bristol crew were rewriting the blueprint for jungle and drum and bass. 01.
