Do yourself a huge favour — open THIS up a new tab while reading this review because this is going to sound crazy, but when I call King Sunshine an infusion of jazz, disco, funk, and dance backed by tight horns and smooth, soulful electronics, I want you to know exactly what I mean. Hear that? King Sunshine has been lighting dance floors on fire since 1998 as, what they call, a ‘highly skilled and electric live act’ — and I’m inclined to believe them!
Their second album, aptly named Second Movement, was released in 2006. Samples of this album (along with their first album and some hip live tracks) can be found on their web site. Their live sets are one, continuous, seamless stream of raw, explosive dance tracks that sound, at times, like they could be straight off of a vinyl from my mom’s teenage 70’s disco/funk phase.
So go on, get funky with King Sunshine at an upcoming show!
