02/20/24 • 78 min

It's a brand new podcast series from 1 More Thing!
Welcome to the New Generation series.
Running in between our episodes where we speak to established talents, legends and pioneers, 1 More Thing's New Generation series gives space to those who are just entering the bass game and looking to make their own contributions to the movement.
These conversations will focus on the challenges young artists face in today's climate, their routes into music, their influences, their crew and their vision of the future. Broken up by a few musical selections along the way, each episode will be a fascinating insight into the life of an artist who's starting to make all the right impressions.
Artists like Gifta.
The first artist to be featured in this series, Gifta has been on the D&B grind for 10 years but has really made a massive impact since the lockdown era at the start of the 2020s.
Head honcho of Phase Records, and recently graduated from a year's business mentorship at the mighty Hospital Records, Gifta heads up an impressive collective of new generation artists on her label and is crafting a unique and formidable sound as a producer.
Dave Columbo Jenkins joins her to find out about her journey so far and find who see nominates for the next New Generation episode!

1 More Thing Podcast #017: Mandidextrous

Welcome to the first 1 More Thing podcast of 2024!
We are kicking off the year in fine style as Dave Columbo Jenkins is joined by the one and only Mandidextrous for an epic and inspiring deep dive into their career so far.
From their free party roots to their current status as one of the most unique individuals in drum & bass culture, Mandi chats in detail about their development from being entrenched in underground DIY culture to becoming a pioneer of their own sounds Jungle Tek and Speed Bass... Two 4x4 sounds that have had a game-changing influence on drum & bass in very recent times.
Smashing down boundaries and barriers, and setting benchmarks for fellow non binary artists, Mandidextrous has had one of the most positive impacts on drum & bass culture imaginable.... And is definitely showing no signs of slowing down.
We caught up with them at the end of 2023 just days after they won the Critics Choice Award at the Drum&BassArena Awards but before the awards show had gone live. FYI: we reckon Mandi's going to have an even bigger 2024.
Listen in and find out why...

1 More Thing Podcast #018: Naibu

#podcast #dnb
Today on the 1 More Thing podcast we celebrate the return of a French craftsman who has recently broken a five year release silence with his remarkable and ambitious new album Sans Soleil.
Bonjour Naibu. An enigmatic, talented and philosophical musician.
Breaking through in the late 2000s on Fabio's Creative Source with a beguiling signature that owes just as much to classical as it does contemporary deep drum & bass, Robin Leclair's ever-evolving sound holds a unique space in drum & bass. His return has been long overdue.
We find out where Naibu's been, how he came to work with a massive orchestra on his new album, why he doesn't DJ and why we hopefully won't have to wait another five years for more fresh Naibu music. Get to know!
