Join us on Australia day eve for the long awaited return of Sunshine Jones from San Fransisco’s Dubtribe Soundsystem. In April Sunshine played a 4 hour set that was hybrid of live performance, deejaying with live vocal chants, drums & dub effects in the mix at sugar’s Tribal Party. His captivating stage presence and energetic performance delighted all in attendance & sent a wave of smiling faces around the packed dance floor with local DUB heads agreeing it doesn't get any better than this.
Sunshine wrote "What a dream gig. What a pleasure It was a perfect night." " I was just grateful that they could feel me at all, that Australians can dance with their lower chakras, and sway their hips to the implied rhythms, and afro Cuban drums. That is not always true in certain places I’ve been. It was wonderful to see.
Dubtribe soundsystem played their final live performance on 1st December 2005 at Ceilo in New York City. Every live performance was incredibly memorable with an omnipresent energy at the shows you would not believe unless you are there. It was the end of 16 remarkable years and now 2006 brings a new dawn for Sunsine as a solo recording artist, live performer and DJ.
With a new solo Album “Seven Tracks in Seven days” due out on King Street records early in 2006 Sunshine is pumped to come back & play Adelaide. Sunshine will play a 4-5 hour extended set with support from HMC & Tbot. His Set will include everthing from Dubtribe classics like "Sunshine's Theme" & "Do it Now" to tracks from the new solo Album.
As a DJ Sunshine is a true Music lover who harvests this record collections with care to deliver a hybrid sound of the roots of house and the emerging rededication to sensual, and emotional music.
While never an eager to please DJ, Sunshine has held on to his roots, and steadfastly believes what he has always believed: House music is simply not for everyone. It is a personal thing, a choice to devote one's self to dance, and motion, where it doesn't happen to you (like faster, more aggressive music) rather, you happen to it as your mind, and your heart open to something wiser, older, and more enduring.
