Both my parents are classical musicians, so I started playing the violin and viola from 4 years old. They both play super niche instruments (Harpsichord and Viola Da Gamba) so I guess it\u2019s in the family to end up in some musical niche. <\/span><\/p>\n I was already connected a little to Zar through the Gemini Music Club release on Halogenix\u2019s label, but then had the pleasure to meet him and the rest of the Sun and Bass guys in person during a collaborative event with Human Elements in Tokyo in April 2025. We got along well and I followed up by sending some music that I played out during my set that they enjoyed, which led to this release. <\/span><\/p>\n The biggest thing for me is being away from the competition and conformity that comes with living in a city with a bigger dnb scene. Obviously there\u2019s less events to see my favourite DJs and connect with like-minded artists which is a shame, but I really appreciate the freedom of being able to make music away from it all – it keeps my expectations low and my sound personal to me I guess. <\/span><\/p>\n I honestly haven\u2019t been listening to much music recently. I think I get this from my parents, where they would spend their day practicing music but when they get home, they want to rest their ears and just listen to the radio and podcasts. When I\u2019m in the studio though I\u2019m listening to everything, digging for samples on YouTube, inspiration for chords and atmospheres, or just copying feelings that I hear in other music. <\/span><\/p>\n Both tunes are my take on modern UK liquid dnb, that blends synths and samples on top of techy drums. I\u2019d say that\u2019s how I would describe my sound overall, blurring the lines between light and dark or happy and sad, and leaving it open to interpretation feels like me. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#DCD2BE” divider_weight=”3px” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”RGBA(128,150,78,0.2)” min_height=”39.4px” custom_margin=”-25px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_social_media_follow _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”2b839624-5795-4cb3-8dc2-d6a3dc7b2c72″ background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” custom_margin=”-28px|0px|0px|0px|false|false” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=”bandcamp” url=”https:\/\/sunandbass.bandcamp.com\/album\/all-good-alright-hold-on-me” icon_color=”#DCD2BE” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#000000″ background_enable_color=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” follow_button=”off” url_new_window=”on”]bandcamp[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=”spotify” url=”https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/4No3pE4t0zPwiGn63cfXEL?si=gvsW_QG3SByGdX8GxX49FA” icon_color=”#DCD2BE” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#000000″ background_enable_color=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” follow_button=”off” url_new_window=”on”]spotify[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=”instagram” url=”https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/itsjustfonts” icon_color=”#DCD2BE” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#000000″ background_enable_color=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” follow_button=”off” url_new_window=”on”]instagram[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=”soundcloud” url=”https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/sunandbass\/” icon_color=”#DCD2BE” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#000000″ background_enable_color=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” follow_button=”off” url_new_window=”on”]soundcloud[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][\/et_pb_social_media_follow][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/sunandbass.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SAB026_Fonts-All_Good_Alright-Hold_on_me.png” alt=”Artwork for SAB026 – All Good All Right” title_text=”SAB026_Fonts-All_Good_Alright-Hold_on_me” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”28%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We caught up with Japan’s Fonts to learn more about his connection to SUNANDBASS, influences and chat about his new release on SUNANDBASS Recordings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":9862,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[55,8,95],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sunandbass.net\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9832"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sunandbass.net\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sunandbass.net\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sunandbass.net\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sunandbass.net\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9832"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/sunandbass.net\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9832\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9866,"href":"https:\/\/sunandbass.net\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9832\/revisions\/9866"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sunandbass.net\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sunandbass.net\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sunandbass.net\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sunandbass.net\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}How did your connection with Sun and Bass begin?<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n
