Check out the mix below and download it for free here!
Q&A:
Sum up this mix in 10 words…
Bold and passionate with twists and turns; full of feeling!
What’s your personal favourite track on it?
Tim Reaper ‘On Sight’
What’s the special ingredient in the mix?
The special ingredient in the mix is my heart. Each and every track has been carefully selected by yours truly to convey what I am feeling inside during this time. I managed to squeeze more tunes in this hour than I ever have….unintentionally! This is definitely some of my finest work.
Tell us about your next release?
I have not released anything yet, however, my first EP will be drum and bass and jungle made using my own sounds that I created on my own synths I virtually built, and found sounds that I have recorded myself using different mediums. My music will consist of vocals that will be performed and recorded by myself, and I hope to find a way of creating something completely unique, whilst still fitting nicely into our wondrous genre.
What have you got coming up?
I have a DJ gig in Camden at the end of January with my friends Sarky Dubz, and another gig in Bristol, also at the end of January with the girls at The Mothership. I have recently (within the last 7 months) been collaborating with the lads down at the Buckle Bunker studio in Essex and am throwing a private party there for my birthday in March (RSVP for an invite!). I am also supporting Uncle Dugs in Southend in April with the guys at Jungle Tek, which I am very much looking forward to! 
When was the last time you actually raved? 
29th December 2024. Also the 28th, 27th, and 26th! That was one heavy weekend straight after Crimbo!! The only way I remain healthy is by raving at least once every 1-2 months at an event that I am not performing at. It is therapy. 
And finally, do you have a message for our readers? 
Big ups at all the DNB and jungle family! Without your support, none of this would be possible so massive shouts to you!! Keep it real and look after each other. Love to you all!

Trex collabs with Sydney Bryce on the ‘Dream Of A Dream’ EP on SUNANDBASS Recordings
7 January 2025 - Shelley Dodds
SUNANDBASS Recordings launches its next chapter with a landmark release, ‘Dream Of A Dream’ EP, from London-based producer Trex. Released as SAB019, the EP pays homage to Drum & Bass heritage while pushing the genre into bold, new territory.
Trex’s journey with SUNANDBASS began in 2018 when the late DJ Randall introduced him at Ambra Night, sparking a connection that has now come full circle. Officially joining the label, Trex delivers three masterfully crafted tracks, including two standout collaborations with Sydney Bryce. These emotive and high-energy productions first resonated with audiences during live performances at the SUNANDBASS XX Edition in San Teodoro and have already proven to be dancefloor favourites.
Known for his releases on revered labels like Metalheadz and Mac2, Trex brings his signature sound to this EP, while Sydney Bryce adds her unique flair. Hot on the heels of her debut album with Flexout Recordings, Bryce showcases her vocal brilliance across these tracks, solidifying her place as a rising star in the scene.
‘Dream Of A Dream EP captures the essence of San Teodoro, blending nostalgia with innovation to mark a pivotal moment for SUNANDBASS Recordings. The release also sets the tone for an exciting year ahead for the label. Trex’s unmistakable style and Bryce’s vocal depth breathe fresh energy into the project, representing a dynamic evolution for both the artists and the imprint.
In a recent Q&A with SUNANDBASS, Trex shared the inspirations, personal stories, and creative processes behind the EP. This collaboration not only celebrates the spirit of the Drum & Bass community but also signals a bright future for the label and its artists. 
Check out our premiere of ‘Dream Of A Dream’ below. The EP drops this Friday 10th January, you can grab copy here! I’ve also included the interview between SUNANDBASS and Trex below so have a read of that!
SUNANDBASS Q&A WITH TREX:
1. What inspired the creation of ‘Dream Of A Dream’ EP?
The track ‘Dream of A Dream’ was inspired by various things. I think it has an ethereal feel of some early 90s dance music like 808 state, and some bouncy bass almost like some Marcus tunes from the 90s, who was and still is a big influence on me. The other 2 tracks are vocal tracks with Sydney which we have worked on over the last year or so and when I was putting together the EP they all seemed to fit together in a neat package.
2. How did it feel to collaborate with Sydney Bryce on two of the tracks, and then bring those songs to life together at SUNANDBASS 2024? 
Pretty damn special. I’ve known Sydney for 3 years now and it took that long for us to get some music ready. Sydney is such a big talent and has a wonderful spirit. It was a pleasure working with her, so to put out this music and actually perform the tracks at Sun and Bass on the beach was my highlight of 2024. It all fell into place neatly.
3. How has SUNANDBASS, or even the atmosphere of Sardinia itself, influenced the sound and feel of this EP?
Yeh definitely. Every time I have been to SunandBass, I turn back into a raver rather than an Artist because the music is as good as it gets and the atmosphere is electric. This influences me in the studio for sure and also recharges my faith in Drum and Bass music.
4. Can you share a bit about your first experience at SUNANDBASS? How has it influenced you as an artist?
It’s quite a deep one for me. DJ Randall got me out to play in Ambra Night 2018. It was a very special few days. I was on the cusp of dropping my first album for Mac2 and my set had Fats and Moose on the Mic. I really felt connected to the drum and bass scene unlike ever before. I was spending too much time locked in the studio and not enough getting out there with the community. It really is the best place for that.
5. What was your creative process like while crafting ‘Dream Of A Dream’ EP? Did it differ from your usual approach?
A more musical approach to begin with. I’m not too bad at writing musical beats and it’s great for me to do this to get away from writing ‘bangers’ all of the time, and keep the different production tools sharp. I’m intending to do a lot more of this in the near future.
6. Where did the title ‘Dream Of A Dream’ come from? What does it signify to you?
If I was to get soppy about this EP it would equate it to my dog Branston who was a street dog in Northern Cyprus and was rescued to come live with us in 2022. To live his dream life I guess.
