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”.
JULIE HERRERA
A California native raised in Seattle from the age of 13, Julie Herrera considers the NorthWest home and Seattle takes pride in claiming her as their own. Music has always been a source of inspiration for Julie. Her older sibling’s collection of 70’s and 80’s soul, disco and R&B records, coupled with her own tastes for new wave and dance artists of the 80’s set the foundation for her future in music. In the early 90’s Julie was instinctively drawn to Seattle’s underground dance music culture. With her passion for the art of DJing, a ferocious appetite for varied styles of music and unbridled soulful style once Julie took to the decks in 1996, she quickly made waves.Julie’s ability to take you on a journey from classic to modern house and techno stylings, tech-house, disco and afro beat is unmatched! A true artist with a captivating presence both as a DJ and performer, she is as much fun to hear as she is to watch.
