Next up on the SUNANDBASS Podcast, we have London-based, New Zealand-born Swampman. Known for his standout shows on Kool FM and Subtle Radio, Swampman brings a soul-drenched, deep journey mix to the SUNANDBASS Podcast, packed with his influences and love for Liquid Drum & Bass. When he’s not DJing, you’ll know him as Sam Yates, known for his writing for UKF and DJ Mag. We’ve also had the pleasure of working with him across SUNANDBASS Recordings, including his work on Bailey and Mark System releases. With his involvement as a DJ with Grounded and his recent opening set for TNQ at Phonox, it was only right we got him onto the podcast. A perfect soundtrack to start your autumn. Press play and let it carry you. @swampcloud

Introducing the new SUNANDBASS Recordings mix series, showcasing the artists joining us across our label events 🎙️💚 For the first instalment, ahead of our collaboration with Integral Records & Makino, we welcome Eijer for a special debut mix. Formerly known as one half of Artificial Intelligence, Eijer is the new alias from one of the most respected names in the Drum & Bass scene, already making his mark with standout releases on Integral Records, The North Quarter and Metalheadz. Curating Integral alongside Emma G, Eijer represents an exciting new chapter, exploring the deeper and more soulful side of Drum & Bass while carrying across the signature production style he’s become known for. He’ll be joining us at Notting Hill Arts Club in London on Friday 25th September, bringing that sound to the dancefloor alongside the artists from the SUNANDBASS, Integral & Makino family.

As we get ready for our annual reunion in Sardinia this week, we’re proud to release SAB Podcast #172, but with no music at 172 BPM, from our regular and soulful selector Redeyes. A very special multi-genre mix exploring the influences that shaped him, while remembering our brother Lenzman, who hosted one of the very first SAB Podcasts with a multi-genre mix of his own. Since last appearing on the SAB Podcast nine years ago, Redeyes has flourished as an artist, releasing a number of beautiful albums and standout tracks on TNQ, as well as starting his own imprint, Five Alley. Through the label, he’s championed new and upcoming artists, giving back to the community through releases that raise money for charities chosen by the artists themselves. Five Alley has also become a home for some of the best soulful drum & bass of the last few years, keeping that side of the genre alive and thriving. We’re excited to welcome Redeyes back with this beautiful mix, the perfect soundtrack for slow mornings or chilled evenings in San Teodoro. We also can’t wait to have him back at Ambra Night this Sunday for the TNQ takeover. Thank you to everyone supporting us and helping keep this community moving. See you in paradise ❤️ Redeyes: https://redeyes.bandcamp.com/music Five Alley: https://fivealley.bandcamp.com/music

SUNANDBASS Recordings proudly presents its next release, welcoming a new talent to the label: Fonts from Tokyo, Japan, with a brand new single, All Good, Alright? / Hold On Me. This release marks another exciting addition to the SUNANDBASS Recordings catalogue, bringing a fresh sound and a continued forward-thinking approach. With previous releases on Integral and Halogenix’s Gemini, Fonts has quickly been making a name for himself with his techy yet soulful productions, and we’re very excited to present his next release as he joins the SUNANDBASS family. Fonts played at our label party in Tokyo with the Human Elements crew. That performance and time spent together sparked the relationship with the artist, and now we’re proud to present this transnational talent with his brand new single. On the A-side, All Good, Alright? showcases Fonts’s signature soulful style in full dancefloor form, lush pads and techy synth patches cutting through crisp drums and mesmerising vocal sampling. The track channels the spirit of La Cinta beach in Sardinia: open-air, euphoric, and alive, without ever losing the introspective musicality that defines his compositional voice. It speaks to Fonts’s ability to compose deeply expressive music that also moves a crowd. Hold On Me takes the release into deeper territory, where Fonts’s classical training becomes the foundation rather than the background. Growing up immersed in classical music, and drawing on the textural, emotionally layered world of Studio Ghibli soundtracks, he weaves these influences, Western and Japanese, formal and filmic, into something distinctly his own. Thoughtfully crafted drum arrangements and signature vocal chops ground it firmly in drum & bass, while the emotional architecture reaches far beyond it. We’re honoured to welcome Fonts to the SUNANDBASS Recordings family, an artist whose sound reflects our love for all corners of the genre while paying homage to the music that brings us together in Sardinia year after year. SUNANDBASS Recordings continues to push the boundaries of drum & bass, fostering connection through music that transcends borders, unites listeners, and celebrates rhythm, movement, and culture.
