Bailey:
Born and raised in South London DJ Bailey has been exposed to the contemporary underground scene since the age of 11 with his passion of beats starting with Hip Hop & Electro in the early eighties. Bailey’s South London stomping ground was littered with sound systems, one of which he joined, DJing at house parties and making mix tapes.
Becoming bored with the mellow hip hop of the late eighties Bailey discovered something new and harder; Acid House – the culture which engulfed him, leading him to the rave scene. It was on this acid house path, in around ’91 that he found a turning for hardcore, inspired by the breakbeat element. At the end of this road he entered the door for Drum & Bass.
Bailey was soon gaining steam as a DJ by playing on a local pirate station ‘Energy FM’. It was his ability on that very station that impressed Kemistry and Storm, resulting in them inviting Bailey to play at one of the first Metalheadz club nights at the old Blue Note in 1996. Through moving on the circuit Bailey joined forces with other influential South London selectors and MC’s, forming the Inta Natty crew which consisted of himself, Grooverider and MC Flux amongst others.
Bailey soon joined the Groove Connection booking agency which is known for managing Fabio, Grooverider, Jumpin’ Jack Frost, Bryan Gee, Storm and Calibre.
His bookings have brought him to conquer the world of Drum & Bass by playing in South Africa, Japan, Costa Rica, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, America and the majority of Europe. As for the UK, Bailey has been all over the mainland showcasing his DJ skills at many events, some of which include: One Nation, AWOL, Movement, Creamfields, Innovation, Valve, Fabric Live, The End, Dreamscape, Slamming Vinyl not forgetting Goldie’s club Metalheadz and Fabio’s club Swerve both at which he is a resident.
His gift for precision and his natural intuition for what the people want has lead 1Xtra BBC to secure Bailey as part of their core starting line up, every Sunday night (10pm – 12am) and in 2003 he won the award for ‘Best Radio Show’ at the Knowledge Drum and Bass Awards beating the likes of Fabio, DJ Hype & Grooverider after only 1 year on the air.
Always having a flare for mix tapes Bailey was the natural choice for many projects including mixed CD’s for Knowledge Magazine, Ministry of Sound, and France’s Black label with MC GQ and America’s premier Drum & Bass record store Breakbeat Science.
Bailey has also delved into production completing remixes for Roni Size & A Guy Called Gerald gaining the interest of Metalheadz label boss Goldie for a release due in May 2006 for the MDZ ’06 LP. Bailey has also set up his underground D&B label Intasound, releasing tracks from cutting edge acts such as Equinox, Miracle & Outrage.
Bailey is now an established necessity to the Drum & Bass fraternity, he has the capacity to create a sound through sheer mixology to make an impression and stand out from the crowd of Drum & Bass DJ’s out there. His skills have gained him the accolade that every DJ aspires to – recognition and respect.
TC:
With his distinctive sound and partnership with Valve recordings TC is making waves in the drum and bass scene.
After working for 3 years making music for TV and learning about producing drum and bass, TC sent a demo CD to Dillinja at Valve Recordings and got a call back.... TC has spent the two years since then developing and creating new music to DJ all over the world “I want to make music that can be enjoyed by anyone, I make every style of drum and bass because you never know where you are going to be playing. You might turn up to the gig and there’s 8000 people standing in front of you wanting you to smash it!”
TC mixes up all styles of drum and bass from hard Valve sound tunes to liquid with flavors of the Full Cycle sound in there too for the Bristol roots “I like to take the crowd on a bit of a journey for as long as I’ve got, ending with a bit of a crescendo!” He has played in the UK, US and Europe
TC started making music just after he left school "it was a lot simpler back then, all I had was my ATARI and a sampler. There was much less to work with but the music had a vibe. I’m still trying to capture the vibe. I spent a long time trying to get the production as good as I can and now I feel I can do both.”
He takes a lot of inspiration from the music he heard growing up in St. Paul’s, a vibrant inner city community famed for its West Indian style carnival, as much as its history of riots and major drug problem. “St. Paul’s is cool. You hear a lot of music. I can’t say I’ve never had trouble there, because I have, but I think that kind of thing just teaches you to keep your eyes open!”
TC feels very strongly that despite his successes his work is far from over, “I’ll still be spending nights in the lab until everything is just right. In his own words, “The minute you get lazy, the whole thing falls apart around your ears! Sound is something that never stands still, it’s a vibration, if you want to work with sound, you’ve got to keep moving on!”
TC Has a label called dub recordings (www.dubrecordings.com) and the club night called “Dub” to build a vibe in Bristol.
