Created by EDM visionaries, Benjamin “Bamby” Bayeul & Charlie “Erwan” Dodson, better known to many as the esteemed bass duo Ganja White Night, Subcarbon Records has become a powerhouse of electronic music. With previous releases from artists such as Subtronics, Dirt Monkey, Rusko, and more, the amount of heat that is constantly cycling through Subcarbon is unreal, featuring not only larger names but putting listeners on to new and exciting bass projects as well. One of these rising stars is none other than Italian bass wizard, Eater, who has just released a stacked 4-track EP of straight heater with Subcarbon Records.
The Invader EP starts off heavy with the title track “Invader”. This track easily captivates listeners and sets the tone for the high-energy punch the entirety of the EP packs. With its vibey synths and overall gravity-defying sound, “Invader”, creates the perfect sense of anticipation for all that is to come from the EP.
Next up, “Annihilation” fascinates with its vocal edits and dark aura, taking listeners on a social journey through sound. “Trial quickly follows behind bringing edgy basslines and gritty depths that we have not previously heard from Eater thus far.
The final track to round out the madness of the Invader EP is “Extinction”. Bringing forth immense power and gritty visceral bass-heavy sound, this track is the perfect example of all that the Eater project of capable of through the wide range of sounds and textures created.
From start to finish the Invader EP takes listeners on a rollercoaster of emotions and sounds through deep heavy wubs, an array of different sound designs, and overall hard-hitting heat. Each of these tracks perfectly encapsulates the incredible amount of talent Eater has to offer the bass community. We had the extreme pleasure of getting to chat with both Ganja White Night and Eater about Subcarbon Records and this heater or a release so make sure to check that and the entire Invader EP available now on Subcarbon Records

1. Having your own record label is a massive feat within the EDM scene. What made you want to start Subcarbon Records originally?
I want to say it was because we had big ambitions and wanted to make it become a huge label within the dubstep world. But let’s be honest, the reason why we originally started Subcarbon Records was because we couldn’t find the right place for Ganja White Night’s music to be released on. So we decided to say f*ck it, let’s do it ourselves and get this music out. We knew we’d struggle to hit an established network, and it wouldn’t especially help the original push when releasing new music, but at least it will be out and available for the people.
2. There must be hundreds and hundreds of artists submitting new and exciting tunes to Subcarbon Records every day. What is your selection process for the record label due to this influx? Are you both heavily involved with the release selection?
I wouldn’t say hundreds and hundreds every day, but we receive a good hundred a month. The process is always the same. First, even before reading the email, listen to the tunes. If that’s good, then we read the email. I want people to know that no matter how good you (or ChatGPT) might be with the writing of your pitch, it’s definitely not needed. If the music is good, we’ll talk and ask you everything we want to know about you once that step is cleared.
3. Eater has been one of your most recent releases with Subcarbon Records. What about his 4-track Invader EP stood out to you initially?
If there’s something I think is always welcomed in bass music, it is to be minimalistic and pay attention to details. I love that about Eater, he goes straight to the point, and there’s only what’s needed to the tune to hit hard and be extremely efficient. The groove and sound design are top-notch, and I really like his universe. He brings some well-needed fresh air into the scene with that EP.
4. What advice or words of wisdom can you give artists and producers looking to make it on Subcarbon Records?
I’d say, first, try to understand what kind of music we like to see if that’s the right place for you. If you produce something drastically different, like… not Dubstep, Drum & Bass, or whatever, but still have the feeling it might fit, don’t hesitate. I just want to make clear that Subcarbon Records isn’t exclusively a Dubstep record label; we’re open to almost every kind of music from the moment it hits us right in the chest or straight to the heart.

1. Your 4-track Invaders EP was just released on Ganja White Night’s exclusive Subcarbon Records! What does this release with Subcarbon Records mean to you as an artist?
I feel very blessed for the opportunity to release on such a good label. It really means a lot seeing the hard work pay off. The Subcarbon team has been amazing to work with, and I’m looking forward to future collaborations with them.
2. What were your inspirations for the Invader EP? Did you have any elements you knew you wanted to include when you wrote the EP or did the music come to you as you were writing?
I knew the story that I wanted to tell and the overall aesthetic that I wanted to achieve. That alone gave me enough to define the sounds and style of the songs, the rest came pretty much by itself.
3. What is your favorite track off the EP and why?
They all have a special place in my heart but I have to say,‘Invader’ has to be my favorite track. I’m very happy with the vocals and overall the groove has been a nice change of pace from what I’ve been hearing lately.
4. What is next for the Eater project? What do you and your team have planned in the near future that fans have to look forward to?
My fans will be very happy about the future of the project, We have some very exciting releases coming up and we’re quite literally planning an invasion.
