Veteran UK electronic producer and DJ, Dave Lee aka Joey Negro regroups with his supa- talented muso mates to reform London's magical live nu-funk and boogie cult hybrid, The Sunburst Band.
With members culled from the funkiest ends of Incognito, Jamiroquai and the Kyoto Jazz Massive, The Sunburst Band is unashamedly musical. Amid a dance music scene that's witnessing people shying away from the worst minimalist club plod, they serve up a sparkling antidote riddled with all the funkier genres ranging from 80's boogie, Disco, Jazz Fusion, Go Go as well as some lurvely down tempo tunes.
As you'd expect from a band used to working only with the best and wearing their solid funk stripes with pride, the toweringly afro-ed frontman Pete Simpson is joined on the album by the original Chic gals Norma Jean and Lucy Martin, and the ever soulful Linda Clifford among others.
Hold tight as The Sunburst Band crank up the boogie factor for 2004. As well as disco stormers such as the massive club hit and Hype Chart No 1 "Fly Away", Mr Negro steers the band down some beautifully percussive synthscapes and soulful grooves that leave you just not caring if it rains until September as long as this is on your stereo!
