LATEST RELEASE

This release marks an exciting introduction to one of the new artists joining the SUNANDBASS roster, signalling a bright future for both the label and its evolving sound. With previous releases on Shall Not Fade and Alix Perez’s 1985 Music, Napes is a promising name within the modern jungle scene, waving the flag alongside artists such as Tim Reaper and Sully. This release is a clear statement of his fresh approach, reaching new corners of drum & bass while staying rooted in its foundations.

THE LABEL

SUNANDBASS Recordings was founded in 2011 as a natural extension of SUNANDBASS, the week-long drum and bass holiday that we have been hosting since 2004, bringing artists and music lovers together each year in San Teodoro, Sardinia.

The label began when SUNANDBASS co-founder, art director and long-time DJ Delicat yearned to start a label that could capture the sound and spirit of the festival beyond the week on the island. When their close friend Marcus Intalex heard about the idea, he encouraged them to begin and contributed music to the very first compilation.

From the start, the goal was to document and nurture the community that had grown around the event. The artists involved were people already connected to SUNANDBASS through friendship, shared history and a deep love for the music.

Over the years, the catalogue has featured contributions from artists such as ArpXP, Calibre, S.P.Y, Nu:Tone, Dom & Roland, dBridge, Klute, A Sides, FD, Mark System, Satl, Fava, the late Marcus Intalex and MC Fats, alongside newer voices including Trex, Triad, BCee, T.R.A.C., Zar, Napes, Sydney Bryce and Fonts.

More than a traditional imprint, SUNANDBASS Recordings reflects the full spectrum of drum & bass that defines the festival itself, from deep and intimate club sessions to soulful selections played on the soft sands of La Cinta beach.

Today, the label continues to grow as a year-round extension of the SUNANDBASS community which remains rooted in the same simple idea it started with: keeping the sound and spirit of the community alive far beyond the island.
