Drum And Base
JUICE sits down with Manchester, UK-based Dub Phizix & Strategy duo just before our September 2018 show.
For our second BREATHE & BASS LIVE we found a secluded and stunning space in and amongst the apple trees of an orchard and on the river!
Truly blessed to be able to swim in the clear waters before embracing the tribal connection of Drum & Bass to meditate, flow and feel through dance!
We recorded the musical journey from our curator BOSSA for your listening pleasure.. visualise grounding in nature when listening!

BREATHE & BASS believes in the healing benefits of dancing together in a safe and supportive space; where the feeling of connection through music can change our mindset, boost positivity and inner peace; adding breathe work, meditation and grounding practices to enhance the experience.. and of course our love of DRUM & BASS as the musical heartbeat to our journey!
This is the LIVE mix journey from our indoor dance in celebration of Samhain. We gathered together and connected through a meditation led by STEPH PICKERILL to ground ourselves before connecting as a tribe though the blissful beats curated and mixed by our very own BOSSA!
We really enjoyed this one and hope you find the journey uplifting and restorative!

Welcome to our latest Breathe & Bass journey - deep, musical Drum & Bass; to draw you into a flow of rhythm and warmth, with added mindful vocals. This mix will help reduce worry and leave you with improved positivity!
Today is an auspicious day to release this mix.. It is a New Moon - a time for releasing the old and negative patterns we form and moving into our creative spirit - whatever that means to you.. you can do it!
This journey has been curated by Athena; a producer who this year has been rising like a comet in her profile. She was recently signed to Goldfat Records as well as being chosen by the EQ50 mentorship opportunity for female producer to spend 2021 under the wing of Shogun Audio - one of the major labels in the D&B scene. Having heard a mix of hers, we felt Athena would bring something unique to our Mix series which she has... we look forward to hearing her productions over the coming months.

Thank you for listening!
We love Autumn and the change of the season. Recorded a mix to celebrate the Autumn Equinox. Hope you enjoy!
Quick mini mix to enjoy the full moon tonight 2/9/2020
Hope you enjoy!
Very early into the concept of Breathe & Bass and during the early part of the first lockdown, we made a friend and her name is PYXIS.. we got to know each other over a mutual love of Drum & Bass - amazing producer that she is - and a passion for supporting Mental Health Awareness through music. She has been a huge influence and source of support throughout and we are proud to call her one of the integral Breathe & Bass team.. she will be providing us with a new mix journey in her unique style very soon!
Having been within the Drum & Bass scene for years, PYXIS had the idea of creating HEADSBASS: BEATS IN MIND and a wellbeing collective army of 130 producers as a platform to release a hugely successful series of compilation volumes where ALL PROCEEDS have gone directly to Mental Health Charities and the total stands at over £3000!
We are absolutely honoured to have been given the EXCLUSIVE DOCUMENTARY & MIX showcasing the tracks which are being released over the coming weeks. Within the video are personal stories and reasons why these amazing producers want to be involved. We were very touched by the bravery shown in talking about personal struggles.
The continuous mix is by our absolute hero TELOMIC and it is a beauty!
Please enjoy this video and support HEADSBASS by purchasing the releases which are worthy of being in any quality set!

This mix is very special for THREE reasons.... it marks our one year anniversary of Breathe & Bass - the point where a vision and concept become a real thing! Huge thanks to everyone who has listened and supported us this far.. we hope our mix journeys have helped in these difficult times. Second... this is released for MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK. We don't talk enough about the subject yet it affects so many people in so many different ways. If you are struggling please talk to someone or seek help. Don't carry the burden alone.
And finally...we are honoured to have one of Drum & Bass' most talented producers WINSLOW providing this journey. Who has had an incredible year so far releasing on Goldfat Records, Soul Vent and Hospital Records as well as remixes on Spearhead Recordings.. his musicality and emotions shine through his music!

This mix journey was recorded last summer during lockdown where one of the positives was able to spend more time in my favourite location - the woods! Having some rare spare time, I walked to the river with the labrador, my controller and the intention to record a sunset mix which was deep enough to relax to but also allowed space for movement and dance. It was recorded in one take, the sunset looked amazing, and it flowed really well! It then got forgotten about until a few days ago when i rediscovered it and decided to share it with you all... hope you enjoy and are left with an improved sense of wellbeing!
We are taking advantage of the winter period to plan our next mix journeys and will be announcing some exciting news soon.

One of the influences and inspirations for Breathe & Bass was the legendary POLLEN TRIBE Events... the most incredible and inclusive vibes involving a creative collective where the emphasis is on connection through dance.
We were honoured to be asked to play a set at their first event of 2021 - The Hum of the Hive; reminding us of this much needed community and it was EPIC! Supported by our friends we went IN with all our happy tracks and the dance floor went wild with smiling faces!
Apart from forgetting to press record until 2minutes in; this is our set and we hope you enjoy it as much as it was to play live!

After a year of visualisation we were so happy to finally be able to gather together for a Sunset Dance of Drum & Bass in nature with actual dancers! AND IT FELT MAGICAL!
The feeling of connection through music was wonderful and an appreciative tribe of dancers collectively breathed life in spirit! And there were Bats!!
We recorded the set for to share the restorative energy that Drum & Bass brings with BOSSA curating the mix journey and a guided meditation by BERNADETTE!
The spark is now a flame and plans are being formed to take Breathe & Bass LIVE to cities, scenic nature and festivals over the summer! We hope to dance with you all soon!

We are delighted to share the DRUM & BASS Mix Journey recorded at BREATHE & BASS..where we collaborated with WILD SOUL CACAO Shamanic Healer ISLA-ROSE WOLF and went deep into a journey of intention, release and connection aided by the heart healing Cacao! It was absolutely magical and a combination we will be repeating in 2022 as the vibes were potent and powerful!
The Journey has some words from ISLA-ROSE at the beginning to help anyone who might not have heard of CACAO and its origins and we recommend taking a look at her website http://www.wildsoulcacao.co.uk where there is more information and for the next 5 days you can purchase ceremonial grade Cacao with an extra 20% off! This drink can be added into your everyday self care routines as the gentle warmth it brings to the heart has a huge impact on wellbeing!

BREATHE & BASS combines well-being mindfulness meditation set to a mix journey of deep and delicious DRUM & BASS. This upload focuses simply on our belief that guided breathe work can hugely impact our lives in a powerful way. Curated by BOSSA, we have collaborated with RICHARD DOWN - a Shamanic Energy Healer with a voice that soothes and nourishes the soul.
Richard quotes:
I hope you enjoy this subtle guidance inviting us to breathe into the music. I feel it as a powerful combination, bringing a simple focus to the dance and the breath! What a natural connection, to breathe into the music! With increased awareness of our breathing - even on the subtle level offered here - we oxygenate the brain and it is easy to feel trance. The thinking mind soon settles with the simple focus into the music, movement - and from time to time - bringing focus back to breath. Our sensory perception is sharpened and we find an exciting conscious, meditative quality to the music...In this case the exciting d&b set from Breathe & Bass
I am so happy to provide my voice and words on this one. Thank you Breathe & Bass Enjoy!
I would also like to share my website https://www.richarddownshaman.com I work with sound, healing song, therapies and training
And you can experience my medicine, ambient sound journeys on Bandcamp: https://richarddownshaman.bandcamp.com/releases
This journey was created for our friends at TICKET FAIRY and accompanies an interview with BOSSA about all things Breathe & Bass!
Read here:
BREATHE & BASS combines the wellbeing benefits of breathe work practices and meditation with the tribal rhythms of Drum & Bass connecting us with ourselves and our need for community, connection, release and being in the flow of the music in a safe and supportive space!
This upload is the LIVE journey from our event on 6.3.22.
The journey was guided by BENJAMIN TREE - a highly respected Movement Medicine Facilitator and Breathe work coach who begins the dance with a deep dive into embodied breathe work practice for 15minutes to bring us into our bodies, grounding and finding ourselves before moving into the musical heart beat we love; curated by BOSSA that takes us within the richness of the bass where powerful energy will be created.

Breathe & Bass brings you a very special Drum & Bass Mix Journey to both celebrate the returning feelings of connection to self and to a community and how our collective intention could be world changing.. it is time for a new paradigm of acceptance and peace in our everyday lives. It is also WORLD MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS DAY which is a topic we feel hugely passionate about - breaking the stigma to show kindness and empathy for the personal battles being fought. Take time today for some self care and check in on that friend you have been meaning to call..
Our Curator BOSSA has collaborated with ELUMIN and her spoken word gifts which capture the essence of times spent with kindred souls around campfires at gatherings through the summer.. It is a reminder of our power to influence our own reality through intention and how this then can change a culture one heart at a time.
Enjoy whether you feel like dancing or sitting in quiet and enjoying the flow of music and words.
