SUNSHINE JONES
On Thursday, December 1st, 2005, San Francisco’s pioneering live sound system played their final live show at Cielo in New York City, concluding 16 years as recording artists, innovative live performers, and motivating catalysts for dance music as a forum for political dissent, subversion, and emotional and spiritual independence. Born from a love of dancing on the California beaches by firelight until dawn, since spring of 1991 Sunshine (the male) and Moonbeam (the female) Jones aka Dubtribe Sound System, literally took their idea of hooking up a few sequencers and ousting the dj from the party to the world. Initially packing everything they owned into a devastated Dodge van, they traveled around North America from San Francisco to New York City, Toronto to Miami, Whistler to San Diego and all points in between and around the world to France, Netherlands, the UK, Spain, and Germany - all in an attempt to incite change, restore faith and have a party at the same time. In that time, between establishing themselves as one of the American dance music scene’s most endearing and inspirational live shows, running their own imperial DUB Recordings label, this husband-and-wife ‘tour de force’ has yielded fruit in the production of five full-length albums, a dj mix album, countless remixes, and a string of singles, including some of the deep house community’s most loved anthems of the past several years including “El Regalo de Amor’ for Guidance Recordings, Top 5 UK dance chart hit “Equitoreal”, and the international smash “Do It Now”.
