UK Garage / Bass Music / Drum & Bass
SUB took its first boat party out of Chalong Pier on 27 January 2026, with BURT COPE, ELOQUIN and HAYD joining F-WORD for a day of music on the water.
From the club to the sea
For this edition, SUB brought UK guests and Phuket’s bass community together away from the club. The daytime programme combined music with stops for swimming and a sunset on the west side of the island.
The event connected the different sounds of the series: UK Garage and bass alongside Drum & Bass, with each DJ bringing their own selection. Four recorded sets are collected below, so the music continues beyond the day itself.

BURT COPE’s catalogue spans several strands of bass music, with releases on Helix, Crucast, Souped Up and Kool FM. His music has received support from BBC Radio 1, Kiss FM and Rinse, as well as Chase & Status and Sammy Virji.
