Iedereen te vriend houden betekent vaak geit en kool sparen, en dat is volgens de uitdrukking nooit slim. Niettemin weten de dj’s Matt MacQueen en Dave Siska van Sonic Sunset probleemloos Detroit, Chicago, deep techno, house, soul, funk, italodisco, deep classics & WBMX-era jack trax aan elkaar te rijgen.
Na jarenlang het radioprogramma Clinically Inclined in Chicago gemaakt te hebben, is het duo verhuist naar de internets, en daar zenden ze bij tijd en wijle een mix uit. Eén van de laatste uit die reeks, Lighter Path, is een mooi voorbeeld hiervan, aangezien Dave Siska daarin verspringt van klassiekers uit de jaren 80 via dikke ambienttechno uit de 90’s naar recente dubstep.

Collega Matt MacQueen kwam vandaag daarnaast met een soortgelijke tour de force: de Superpeople-mix: “a 2.5 hour extended trip through soul in different dance styles. From chill Detroit nighttime transitions to synthy boogie, house, and some abstract dub electronics.”
