Introducing Sunset Tsunami, the dynamic NZ/UK electronic duo pushing boundaries with a powerful blend of Dub, Drum & Bass, and Hip-Hop. Fusing beats, samples, live instrumentation, and vocals, their sound is both innovative and infectious. Their debut single, Dub Till Dawn sets the tone as the first glimpse into their forthcoming album.

Blending heavyweight dub grooves with entrancing vocal melodies, Dub Till Dawn invites listeners into a sonic tide that swells and recedes from twilight through to daybreak. Invoking memories of laid-back classics from artists like Thievery Corporation and Nightmares On Wax, the track creates a hypnotic atmosphere that is both meditative and immersive.

Drawing on the deep, bass-heavy traditions of dub while weaving in soulful, ethereal vocals, the track captures the feeling of losing yourself in the moment and finding yourself again with the first light.

The release includes a drum & bass remix by Sydney-based producer MO2, switching up the original into a double-time groove. The entrancing vocals remain, while the energy is ramped up to complement the laid-back original.

Sunset Tsunami (aka Sideways & Buckwheat) are a NZ/UK electronic duo whose sound is as unpredictable as their backstories, grounded in grit, humour, and DIY ethos.

Marcus “Sideways” Fletcher emerged from the concrete maze of South London, raised by a loose crew of vinyl hunters and renegades. Armed with an MPC and a battered record collection, he forged a beat-driven style shaped by the chaos of illegal raves and crate-digging obsession. Chuck “Buckwheat” Davidson grew up skating the industrial fringe of Auckland, crafting bass-heavy tunes and telling increasingly wild tales – from stealing an amp at a Sex Pistols gig, to vodka shots with the Beastie Boys. Truth or myth, his low-end sensibility is undeniable. A chance meeting at a warehouse party in Sydney sparked Sunset Tsunami’s formation.

Dub Till Dawn is the first of many releases to come from Sunset Tsunami, as they unearth a treasure trove of electronic goodness. Their debut album is set for release before the end of 2025, with more singles to come before then. Expect more left turns and intrigue with each release as Sunset Tsunami rides an electronic wave.
