SUNANDBASS Recordings proudly presents its next release: the Funny How EP by BCee. Following his Shelter EP, we are delighted to share this "barrel of laughs" from our close friend. This EP combines BCee's humorous spirit with soul-infused, energetic beats, making it the perfect remedy to lift your spirits and chase away those Sardinian blues.

Steve BCee has been a close friend and part of the SUNANDBASS family for years. A regular in Sardinia with his Spearhead imprint, celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, he returns with a record that explores the many shades of his signature sound while keeping things fresh and engaging.

The title track, ‘Funny How’, is a soulful, sample-driven roller that transports you straight to La Cinta. Next up, ‘Shiny Happy Jungle’ delivers exactly what the name promises, an energetic, break-heavy floor-filler. ‘Flush’ brings a modern twist, striking the perfect balance between musicality and upbeat dance energy. Closing the EP, ‘Nobody But You’ is a soulful, melancholy anthem that pulls at the heartstrings, showing BCee’s ability to navigate the full spectrum of emotion.

We’re proud to share another piece of art from BCee. SUNANDBASS Recordings will continue to push the boundaries of drum & bass, fostering connection through music that transcends borders, unites listeners, and celebrates pure rhythm and movement.

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 get ready for our return to Sardinia this week, we’re proud to present this month’s SUNANDBASS podcast from Blindside, featuring a special Futures Past mix.

This selection is a nod to the legendary mixes from Fabio for Muzik MasterS, Doc Scott and LTJ Bukem for Mixmag, all of which had a huge influence on Dan’s journey. From starting Breakthru events, to working on Soul:r and now Space Cadet, we’re thrilled to welcome Blindside back to the Podcast.

“This is a mix of some of my favourite tracks from the mid-90s. Its working title was Future’s Past, partly because, even though these tracks are 30 years old, they still sound light years ahead, conveying emotion with an energy that only drum & bass can.”

Music from the likes on Peshay, Photek, Intense, Wax Doctor and across corners stones like Metalheadz, GLR, Creative Source and Prototype.

Go check it out and get in the mood for #SAB25 🌞🎶

Just over one month to go until SUNANDBASS 2015, and our new Podcast comes from none other than @marcusintalex.

His closing set of SUNANDBASS 2014 showed us exactly what the festival is all about – but not content with just blowing the roof off with that one, he’s back once again to show us how it’s done.

This one is chock full of freshness – good luck to the tracklist spotters! 

Best thing to do is stick this on and get yourself thoroughly in the mood for the fun that awaits us in one months time! 

Enjoy!

Stepping up to the SUNANDBASS Podcast and leading us into autumn is producer and DJ, Deekode. Originally from North West England but raised in the Midlands, Deekode has spent years shaping his style and sound, deeply influenced by SUNANDBASS Recordings.

“I remember being a 15-year-old kid walking home from school rinsing Sun & Bass releases like ‘In The Shade’ by Fracture & Mark System, ‘G-String’ by Code 3, and ‘Rain’ by Skeptical on repeat in my headphones, daydreaming of one day releasing on the label. To be invited to guest mix the Sun & Bass Podcast is an honour & a dream come true, a real full-circle milestone & without a shadow of a doubt the biggest tick on my music career bucket list so far.”

Deekode describes his sound as intricate yet stripped-back sonics blended with deep but energetic beats. This mix takes us on an extended journey through drum & bass, opening with shimmering, melodic liquid before venturing deeper into the dark, minimal territory he’s best known for.

Perfect for our transition into autumn, check out this journey mix and let it soundtrack your season 🎧

This month on the SUNANDBASS Podcast, we have something very special in store.
Sibling duo Sydney Bryce & Tones step up for an innovative journey through their influences in the genre and their original music. ✨

We’re thrilled to welcome them to the podcast following their debut performance this year at SAB25 at Bal Harbour. The duo have been making waves in the scene with no signs of slowing down.

Sydney Bryce, singer and songwriter, is establishing herself as a powerful and ethereal voice in drum & bass. With her debut album , 'Dreams Of Tomorrow' released last year on Flexout Audio and strong collaborations with artists like LSB, QZB, and Monrroe, she continues to carve out her unique sound.

Tones, an up-and-coming DJ with a love for deep DnB, brings a passion for seamlessly blending classic and contemporary sounds.

Together, they create a compelling synergy, delivering electrifying performances that resonate with both seasoned DnB fans and newcomers alike.

The perfect journey to carry you through your autumn days. 🍂

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.

LSB steps up to mix SUNANDBASS Podcast #42, showcasing the sound that has seen him catapulting through 2015.

After solidly building his catalogue for the last couple of years, LSB has now become one of the go-to names for musical drum and bass. And with tracks such as Leave and The View to his name, the demand just seems to be growing. 

With another stellar EP set to drop on Spearhead shortly and plenty of other music in the pipeline, LSB looks set to keep gracing our ears with musical gems.

The 70th SUNANDBASS Podcast comes from DJ, producer, and Spearhead label head BCee.

Having released over 100 tracks and remixes over 4 albums, and countless other releases since his debut in 2002, it’s fair to say that BCee has made a huge contribution to the Drum & Bass scene. 

Alongside this epic body of work, his label Spearhead continues to grow from strength to strength, having bought artists such as SPY, Technimatic, Hybrid Minds and LSB, amongst countless others to the fore. 

BCee brings something a bit special to this month’s SUNANDBASS Podcast, with a mix of only his music – whether his originals, remixes of his tracks or tracks that he has remixed. He had this to say about it: ‘I wanted to do something different so I’ve given you 90 minutes of tracks that I've produced / remixed / had remixed etc.  It's something that I've never done in 17 years of releasing music!’

We hope you enjoy BCee’s SUNANDBASS Podcast!

Words by DJ Storm:
"I never thought I would have had to organise “ A Night  for Spirit” but with what has happened & the fact he was my first booking when I was asked to be an honorary curator for the 15th anniversary of Sun & Bass. My heart was heavy but it was my responsibility as Spirit was one of my boys for real!

I want to send a heartfelt thank you to all the artists who stepped up on the night and made it an absolutely fabulous tribute to him and his music... and to you the Sun and Bass crew/ravers thank you for joining us and making every moment memorable we really raised the roof for Spirit.

Sun and Bass had a very special place is in heart. Here are the sets from the night, for all who were there and for those that couldn’t make it... enjoy and pls share at will."

Note: Due to technical difficulties the recordings of this night are missing Stamina MCs performance

Etherwood has gone and stitched us a GOOOWWJOOOS liquid patchwork this month. You simply cant beat a bit of cockle warming liquid when the sun is shining, and is he not just one of the best!?

In his own words "I just got the decks out and pictured the sun setting at La Cinta. I could practically taste the Ichnusa". Here here Woody.

We hope this 60 minute dreamscape can go someway to taking you to a moment just like that.

Etherwood has just released a little EP of acoustic tracks called Isolation Jams. And is otherwise working on his next album...
