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.

Ink & Sin Return with a Punishing New Double A-Side Single, “Static Contrast” / “Lawless Terrain” on Architecture Recordings
Following the critical success of their acclaimed LPs The Tree and The Wind and The Silence Within, the enigmatic duo Ink & Sin announces their powerful return with a new double A-side single, “Static Contrast” / “Lawless Terrain,” out worldwide on Architecture Recordings.
This new release finds the duo refining their signature sound—a blend of atmospheric depth and visceral intensity. “Static Contrast” and “Lawless Terrain” serve as two sides of the same darkly gleaming coin, showcasing the dynamic range that has become their trademark.
“Static Contrast” builds on the “layered, textural soundscapes” praised in reviews of The Tree and The Wind. The track is a masterclass in tension, weaving intricate melodies through a pulsating, industrial-tinged rhythm section. It evokes the feeling of a fragile signal fighting through overwhelming noise, a theme of beauty persevering against chaos that resonates with their earlier work.
Its counterpart, “Lawless Terrain,” is a direct descent into the raw, unbridled energy that defined The Silence Within. Channeling the “visceral, rhythmic assault” that critics highlighted, the track is a propulsive and unforgiving journey. It captures the essence of their most powerful compositions, described as “architectural in their precision yet lawless in their execution,” creating a soundscape that is both meticulously constructed.
Having established themselves as architects of immersive audio worlds, Ink & Sin continue to explore the dichotomy between order and chaos, silence and sound. The single is a potent statement of intent, suggesting new sonic territories are being mapped for their future endeavours.

INK : The story so far......

An architect first visualizes then realises, making something out of nothing, making sure that not only the object itself shines but also the space around it. The sound is moulding, shaping and morphing at the hands of Dj Ink... 

The year is 1990 and a young Dj Ink has solidified his love for the culture known as hip hop- as the years move on so does UK street music, there are new genres forming and Ink begins to hear what is familiar to him, but there is a new twist-It is the UK passing by the USA, with a huge dose of African and Jamaican influence, This is music to a budding Dj Ink's ears, he naturally becomes involved and it doesn’t take too long before he begins to make his mark. 

First begins the Pirate radio circuit. Working hard at his craft and allowing the followers to get familiar with the roll, steadily bookings began to build up and soon it would be time for Ink to become associated with three names that changed the landscape of British electronic music-Basement Records, and slightly later Metalheadz and Renegade Hardware. Ink would go onto form his own imprint- Architecture Recordings, releasing anthems from himself and various crew members, bringing through new talent and the cream of the heavy hitters within drum n bass. If you're familiar with drum n bass/jungle you’ll know instantly the weight these labels carry, and if you're not by just scratching the surface you’ll become aware of the impact they have had. Renegade Hardware & Metalheadz are two commitments Dj Ink has upheld to this day, through thick and thin, engraved in the wall of time.

Essential work includes 'The 50th (Blueprint)' (1st Drum and Bass/Jungle tune selected live by a dj (LTJ Bukem) on BBC Radio 1 essential DnB show ever!) and "Altitude" on Basement Records, ‘Feel da heat’ taken from the LP ‘Can u draw sound?’ on Architecture Recordings, ‘Kaos Theory EP’ on Renegade Hardware, ‘Shine’ on Metalheadz, and the now infamous posse cut ‘Instinct’ also on Architecture, this is just a small fraction by Ink that has made waves. 

The now famous "Horsemen" project was a concept headed up by Ink, Loxy, Dylan & Keaton. Originally formed due to the affinities amongst the original four, the crew went onto bring together producers from all over the globe under the "Horsemen" banner- beat makers who have been inspired by the foundations laid down by The Four Horsemen went on to receive acclaim from critics and music buyers alike.

Ink has a number of long players under his belt, to select a few In chronological order these are - Incision and Can You Draw Sound for Architecture Recordings, Hard Soul w/ Perpetuum for Colours Audio and: The Last Scroll for Renegade Hardware. In more recent events we have "The Tree & The Wind" by INK & SIN also on Architecture Recordings.  With these credits to his name it is fair to say INK continues to make his mark on DnB.
