In February 1995, Rob launched Sunday Best, in South London's Tearooms Des Artistes. The club night was based on electronica and an 'anything goes' policy and has become one of the most respected leftfield / freestyle clubs in the world, seeing the likes of Fatboy Slim and Basement Jaxx DJing alongside da Bank.

Also in 1995, Rob started as teaboy at Muzik Magazine. Six years later he had become Assistant Editor before leaving to edit pioneering dance website Worldpop/dance.

Sunday Best Recordings was born in 1997 and introduced acts like Groove Armada and Lemon Jelly to the world. In 2001, the label was signed by Rollo to BMG, Rob as the label head quickly signed more hot new artists such as Grand National.

In 2002, da Bank quit journalism to work full time on his growing empire.

He took Sunday Best on the road in the UK and hosted stages at festivals including Radio 1's stage at Glastonbury, which has become the final party of the festival with Norman Cook always turning up to spin tunes with da Bank.

Sunday Best also went to Ibiza to deliver a series of free parties each summer - these have become the stuff of legends.

In April 2002, Rob was asked to do a pilot for a specialist show on Radio 1 alongside Chris Coco... Soon after, the duo began broadcasting 'The Blue Room' show on Saturday mornings. The show was an eclectic mix of electronica, chill, dub and indie rock to an audience of after-hours clubbers.

Then, in 2004, the now acclaimed 'The Blue Room' show gained an extra radio slot, running on both Saturday & Sunday mornings every week! He would then go on to own his own OneMusic show on Thursday nights and become an even busier bee!

On the side of his Radio 1 responsibilities, da Bank also released an album called Penguin Rock under the alias Lazyboy, which he shares with producer Mr Dan. The debut featured artists like Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Estelle and Roddy Frame and is well worth a listen.

2004 was also the year when Rob launched Bestival (Sunday Best's first festival). With the creative and artistic guidance of his wife Josie da Bank, the pair created a boutique festival environment scattered with beautiful musical and visual delights.

The opening year brought acts like Basement Jaxx and Zero 7 to a 7,000 strong audience in the Isle Of Wight and, since then, the festival has grown magnificently, reaching it's apex in 2007 with 3 spectacular, unforgettable headline shows - Chemical Brothers, Beastie Boys and Primal Scream...

2008 will see the launch of Rob and Josie da Bank's new Boutique festival ‘Camp Bestival' on 18-20th July at Lulworth Castle in Dorset. In Rob da Bank's own words "It's gonna be a big old family campsite with what we reckon will be the best facilities of any festival from custom furnished tipis and yurts to campfires, maintained barbeques, a massive kids areas and our Bestival Bluecoats on hand 24 hours a day to cater for your every need... and then there's the music! Roll on July!" So far, confirmed Camp Bestival headliners already include The Flaming Lips and Chuck Berry...
