SUNANDBASS Podcast

Stepping up next on the SUNANDBASS Podcast, we welcome Vienna-based producer Carter, a long-standing figure in drum & bass with a catalogue that speaks to consistency, depth, and serious musical intent.

Carter’s sound is rooted in warm harmonic movement. With releases spanning Good Looking Records, Liquid V, Jazzsticks, Fokuz and Smooth N Groove Records, he has quietly built one of the most solid and respected discographies on the soulful side of drum & bass. His full-length album Virus on Smooth N Groove stands as a defining statement, a cohesive body of work balancing deep musicality with club-ready functionality.

This mix reflects the ethos of a fluid journey through liquid and soulful drum & bass, designed for both movement and immersion, driven by groove.

Lock in to Carter’s journey mix and let it set the tone for the months ahead 🎧

As we turn the page on a new year, we begin 2026 with a fresh batch of SUNANDBASS Podcasts. First up this month is Bristol-based producer and DJ, Ephyra ✨ A special mix exploring her deep love for soulful, raw, and emotionally captivating sounds, perfect for getting you through the winter months as we reflect on the year just passed and look ahead to what’s to come 🖤

Ephyra uses music to translate her own experiences and the many states of being found throughout the highs and lows of life. With releases on Pilot, Incurzion Audio, Precinct, and Five Alley, she draws inspiration from the likes of Lenzman, Calibre, Alix Perez, Redeyes, and many other soul-soaked producers. Her approach to both production and mixing is always led by honesty and feeling above all else.

This mix showcases some of her most-loved tracks and features a strong selection of her own productions, starting the new year strong on the SAB Podcast and setting the tone for the reflective, soulful sounds paving the way for the year ahead 🎶

Finally out is this eagerly-awaited release of SUNANDBASS Recordings, Hits Me In Waves EP by Mark System. Friends and close members of the SAB family know it's been brewing for the last decade, appearing in bits in aftermovies and we are beyond excited to now share it with the world.

‘Hits Me In Waves’ captures the exhilarating experience of being inspired musically, truly falling in love at iconic La Cinta Beach while having fun in the crystal clear waters - all at the same time. Thus, each track of the EP explores a wide range of emotions and moods, expressed in multiple styles within drum & bass; the lead single ‘On An Island’, sets the tone with unmatched sound design, rich musical elements, and raw, uncompromising production. Next comes ‘Point Of Reference’, built for the dancefloor and eternally young in its refined appeal. ‘Celebration’ follows, a powerful track that ties the listening journey together, pairing heavy low-end weight with slick musicality to keep it both melodic and full of energy. ‘Where’s The Dog’ stands out for its playability and tough bass synthesis, making it the hardest-hitting cut on the record. Closing the EP is the beautiful and introspective ‘Started At The End’, a deep dive into Mark’s musical mind, offering a classic, emotive finale.

Hits Me In Waves is more than just a collection of tracks, it’s a reflection of Mark’s long-standing relationship with SUNANDBASS and our shared vision for music that speaks to the soul and stands the test of time. Spanning from Ibiza, this release embodies the SAB spirit: pushing the boundaries of drum & bass while fostering connection through rhythm, movement, and community.

As we approach the end of 2025, we want to celebrate the remarkable releases on SUNANDBASS Recordings throughout the year. Zar curated a dynamic mixtape that captures the essence of our musical journey this year.

Our catalogue features electrifying tracks, from the jazz-influenced beats of "Hits Me in Waves" to the Detroit-inspired atmosphere of "Echoes of the Midwest." From the uplifting Soul Marauders to the energetic, singer-songwriter-styled Dream of a Dream EP, from BCee's Funny How EP, balancing ease and tension, to the more physical, dancefloor-heavy ArpXP collab with Adred. We’re proud to have released a diverse range of high-quality music that has resonated with you and we anticipate this creative momentum will carry into 2026.

Let's celebrate our talented producers, whose inspiring work keeps energising our community! A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated team behind the scenes, whose hard work made it all possible.
