KANINE & INDIKA
Bassline @ Sin City, Swansea, Fri 6 Mar
Of the three nights Swansea drum’n’bass pushers Bassline have at this venue in the space of just under a month, a busy schedule even for them, this double-headliner affair looks the most interesting. Londoner Kanine was last at Sin City in February 2019, with DJ Guv, since when he’s slung out new tracks at a prolific rate. With some coming via the more esteemed labels of the contemporary d’n’b scene, like Playaz and Shogun, it’s not surprising that heads have latched onto his dirty, oft-eclectic style. Guest spots from Killa P and P Money, grime MCs from the old(er) skool, sit alongside collaborations with genre peers including Friction and Annix.
Indika [pictured], from Manchester, is another DJ who had a gamechanging 2019. Building a decent rep in her home city, a big break came when Chase & Status picked her to play an album launch party in London. At the time of writing she’s yet to release any of her own productions, but her DJ style – upbeat and fun, but with plenty of weird, techy twists and classic junglisms – has proved more than enough so far.
