Bern Bass Podcast 139 – Ryck (October 2026)

Yes folks, october is here and what better way to start into the colder seasons than with a fresh selection of current D&B flavours to extend those last summer sunrays…in steps one of our founding members https://soundcloud.com/bernbassryck for podcast 139:
Ryck started DJing in ’97 after being bitten by the DnB bug at the local United Tribes raves. He was struck by Goldie’s „Timeless“ album, the athmospheric styles of the Good Looking and Reinforced labels as well as the slick bassline rollers of Bristol’s Full Cycle crew. Looking up to DJ idols like Randall R.I.E.P., Micky Finn and LTJ Bukem, to name but a few, Ryck studied their mixtapes and selections and started practising for years on end and literally lived to get the next record. An avid Junglist and vinyl collector to this day, he had his first official gigs in Berne at Champion Sound at Gaskessel in 2000 and at Lighters at Club ISC later on. Known today for his varied selection with a heavy nod to the oldschool, over the years he played at major Swiss D&B events such as Restless at Bierhübeli in Berne, Bassride at Rohstofflager or Mute at Hive in Zürich. Today he is privileged to be a regular DJ at both Darkside at Dachstock in Berne and Hotbox in Zürich, both promotions dedicated to original Drum and Bass. As a producer, he released collaborative tracks with Konfront.Audio on soundcloud.com/soul-deep-recordings, soundcloud.com/informrecords and with soundcloud.com/f-d on soundcloud.com/sunandbass. After co-hosting RaBass 95.6 a monthly Drum&Bass show by soundcloud.com/lockee on Berne alternative radio RaBe for over ten years, he was asked to co-promote and continue the Liquid Session series at Dachstock in 2015, hosting a broad variety of international D&B acts as well as showcasing young and older local talent up until the series demise in 2024. As a continuation of the idea of the Bern Bass Podcast, Ryck launched the now dormant Bandcamp-only Bern Bass Records label in 2020 to feature Swiss producers exclusively with a first trilogy of releases by https://soundcloud.com/simstah, soundcloud.com/octastate and soundcloud.com/dayni – We hope there is more to come soon, stay tuned and check out the Bandcamp page:
