By Feb 1995, Rob da Bank had founded Sunday Best in the warm glow of South London's Tearooms Des Artistes based on a love of chill out, electronica and an anything goes policy. Sunday Best Recordings was born in 1997 unveiling then unknown acts Groove Armada, Bent and Lemon Jelly to the world via single releases and compilations. By 2002 Sunday Best and DJing around the world was becoming too big a headache for Rob to juggle with a full time job resulting in him knocking his day job of music journalism on the head and taking over the reins full time of his home grown empire. Having become the first weekly chill out club in Ibiza the previous year, with guests Groove Armada, Goldfrapp and Norman Cook attracting record crowds, 2002 saw him take Sunday Best on the road in the UK, taking in Glastonbury and Creamfields.

2004 was the year that Sunday Best Recordings kicked into gear as a force to be reckoned with. Most notably it saw the release of Grand National’s debut album, Max Sedgley’s killer underground anthem ‘Happy’ (Euro 2004 title music for ITV) and Rob da Bank’s debut artist album, alongside Dan Carey, as Lazyboy. ‘Penguin Rock’ featured collaborations with Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, Roddy Frame and Estelle, Earl 16 and has been described by the pair as a “beautiful mess”, as it takes in r&b, pop, funk, soul, house and chillout vibes. The album also featured ‘Police Dogs Bonfire’, a track selected by Vodafone for a worldwide TV ad campaign. Rob also then created the entire musical soundbed for Bloomberg TV, and Lazyboy has also featured in hit US TV series CSI and for commercials for Hewlett Packard.
