Sunday Soul

Almost every sunday night in San Francisco Sunshine Jones prodces a digital transmission called Sunday Soul.

Based each week on a theme, the music begins at 10pm pacific time (which is -8 hours greenwich mean time) and continues on into the night. Listeners can connect directly to the stream with iTunes, WinAmp, Windows Media Player, or Real Player by dropping the IP Address from the mothership 90hz.org (currently the IP is http://74.52.22.184:8025 but it changes sometimes for technical reasons) or you can listen from the flash player on the index of 90hz, or from the players on Sunshine’s myspace profile or right here on this page.

Deeper Connection

Since community is an important part of gathering to listen to music, you can register and log into the real time chat room as well, also located on the index page of 90hz. We get together in there and check in, catch up and dance together with love and friendship. It’s a really nice place, and the people are beautiful.

To get an email with the weeks theme for Sunday Soul you can sign up for the email list at 90hz.org, or just watch this page, or the forum here at Treehouse Muzique for the announcements each week, sometimes more last minute than is entirely fair, but the theme and the subject is always announced for your pleasure and general heads up.

Une Peu d’histoire

Sunshine originally played a thursday night dance program on 90hz, where he would break out the beats every thursday and play as late as people wanted to satick around. Sunday was special, and dedicated to interviews with DJ’s, producers, and personalities of interest only.

Sunday Soul’s debut began with a three hour conversation between Sunshine and Jonah Sharpe of Space Time Continuum, followed by a very long talk with Jeno which turned out to be fantastique. Other guests have been Moonbeam Jones of Dubtribe Sound System, Montreal’s Gino Gabriele, Adnan Sharif, Jaswho?, Rick Preston, Cosmique Jason, Adelaide Austalia’s Drwahwah, Bradelectro, Angelica Kuhl, and a live tracking sessions for San Francisco singer songwriters Abel Mouton, Genna Giacobasse and Deadpan Rambler.

These interviews and dialogs were originally intended to seed plant, to foster and nourish our collective histories in the San Francisco bay area, bringing heads together to talk openly about music, art, sources, culture and values.

Soon the themes began to evolve into other areas where one week Sunshine might dissect the art of a re edit, presenting an original, unsyncopated piece of music and demonstrating the process of adjusting the source, augmenting the rhythm, and re editing the structure to create a re edited, more DJ friendly piece, to a three part retrospective on Imperial DUB Recordings, a Dubtribe Sound System overview, a discussion on the history of the remix, and most recently a theme called ‘Rock the Box’ where Sunshine took classic rock tunes and re edited them for disco mixing.

Au Futur

Today Sunday Soul is an outlet, a refuge, a place in the Treehouse where Sunshine is free to sing, mix, re edit, sculpt, and present new music for the sheer pleasure and love of electronic music. With a growing listenership from all over the world, people come and go, but the core of the audience gathers together and catches up, checks in, and connects. It is a labor and a beautiful expression of love.

Currently Sunday Soul has ambitions to find a location in San Francisco from which to broadcast live. The aim is to bring the forum out of the treehouse, and present it to people in person. While broadcasting live with an audience may further shift the purpose and content of the program, it would appear that in order to be revolutionary, the search for connection, content, and raison d’etre must be ongoing.
