SAT 18 | It would be unfair, not to mention inaccurate, to simply refer to Sunshine Jones as a “house legend.” While an apt title to an extent, the music for which the San Franciscan DJ/producer is renowned combines sounds collected from his travels all over the world, creating a musical signature that makes labeling seem redundant. With the personal adage that “literally anything you can syncopate is house music” and an aversion to the common fixation of dividing music into infinite sub-genres, Jones experiments with live mixing, singing and re-editing on the fly. The outcome is a warm, beat-driven collection of sounds, which he has presented and remixed live to audiences in Australia, Japan, USA and now, Cambodia.
