SUNANDBASS Podcast

This month on the SAB Podcast, we welcome Nixxy Rain, formerly one half of SpectraSoul, for a soulful summer edition.

This new alias from Dave has been quickly rising within the drum & bass scene, with releases on Flexout Audio, Hospital Records, and Galacy Records. He's been working with a fresh lineup of vocalists, including Kays, Lauren Walton, and SAB family member Sydney Bryce.

Drawing inspiration from the deeper and more soulful side of the genre, Nixxy Rain incorporates influences from Soul and Motown to create beautiful pieces of music, equally suited to a quiet Sunday afternoon or 5am at a rave.

Check out this mix, packed with some of his current favorites, alongside plenty of his own productions and forthcoming releases. With no sign of slowing down, the artist delivers a mix that's sure to get us jump-started for the summer ahead.

Our next label night is just one week away, and we’re excited to welcome a true staple of both the imprint and the SUNANDBASS family, ArpXP, to Berlin Void next week.

To get you warmed up for the night, ArpXP has put together an exclusive promo mix for us.

Flying the flag for the SUNANDBASS Recordings sound, Simone has delivered standout EPs featuring collaborations with FD, Visionobi, and other close SAB family members, before releasing his debut album, Laws of Chance, on the label back in 2023.

Joined by the rest of the crew, this is shaping up to be a night not to miss.

Check out the Berlin SAB Recordings promo mix and make sure to join us next Saturday.

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.

Looking back at SUNANDBASS 2025, where the lovely Riya & Collette Warren performed a special history set at Bal Harbour, featuring some of their favourite tracks, from early solo releases to their collaborative album, and everything in between from the Carnelian Music journey.

San Teodoro holds a special place in their story, from first meeting there, to building a deep connection through friendship and music, to sharing the stage many times over the years. Seeing them return to perform this set of classics we all know and love felt truly special ❤️
