Introducing Streetlight Vol 1 – A non-profit compilation available for free download, aimed at shining a light on new and underrated producers.
– Backstory –
We get tonnes of great demos from new artists, so much so that we found it frustrating when we had to turn music down simply because it’s unfeasible to release it all on vinyl.
So we’ve trawled our inbox from the last year and reached out to the artists that have caught our eye (or ears, should we say!). We picked the best of the bunch to be mastered by DJ Sappo to form the inaugural Streetlight compilation.
Featured Show: The Fabric Show ft. Calibre, Equinox & Blackeye MC, Mantra & Sherelle on Red Bull Radio
If you’re missing live Drum & Bass, Mantra and fabric are here for you as we journey through some of the best music the scene is making right now in these unusual times, plus go back to some of the genre’s origins.
As well as going in the mix herself, Mantra plays part of an Equinox and Blackeye MC set from a Rupture night at the legendary London venue and welcomes Calibre to share three Roots/Reggae tracks he loves and talk about his new album ‘Shelflife Six’.
Before the show finishes with 6 Figure Gang’s Sherelle picking the Final Tune.
You can listen to a b2b between Sherelle and Addison Groove from Red Bull Music presents Refractions HERE
