The Story behind DJ Sun
Picture a lush green rainforest in the Guyana range of South America... pan over to a grey landscape of a romantic Dutch Harbor in the fall. Those scenes provide the backdrop for the influences gathered over the lifetime of DJ Sun and what has translated into The Monday Drive EP (Alternate Take Records).
DJ Sun was born in Rotterdam, then spent half his childhood in Suriname (South America) before settling in Montrose (Houston's eclectic art-center) at twenty. A prolific award winning dj and radio show host (Soular Grooves, KPFT 90.1, since 1995), DJ Sun debuts Monday Drive, an EP reflective of his varied background, blending styles and nostalgic aesthetics into a down to midtempo reprieve from the ordinary.
Warm, immediate and slightly scuffed, DJ Sun produces songs which retain the flavor of vintage vinyl, the kind you'd find in your attic. DJ Sun, primarily uses the Akai MPC 2000 as his instrument of choice to lend his music its textured feel (a '71 Wurlitzer and the Korg Trinity are thrown in for good measure).
