Artist Snapshot
Rooted in an upbringing in Rotterdam and Suriname, DJ Sun’s work and creative edge are steeped in diverse musical influences. The Texas transplant has been cited by friend and fellow Texan Mark Speer (Khruangbin) as a mentor and a strong influence. His first album, One Hundred, which has been described as music with “organic breaks borrowed from the back rooms of the finest vinyl archives” lends credence to this diversity. Qingxi, Sun’s second offering was inspired by a Chinese ancestral quest.
