Manifesto

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 (-8 hours greenwich mean time, or 1 am in New York City, and 6 am on monday in London) and then continues on into the night.

Listen:

Listeners can connect directly to the stream with iTunes, WinAmp, Windows Media Player, or Real Player by dropping the IP Address from 90hz.org (currently the IP is http://208.99.83.34:8044 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 site, 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.

Weekly archives are posted in the footer of the message board at Treehouse Muzique so if you miss a broadcast you usually have a whole week to download it, or stream it, and enjoy yourself. A selection of the archives at maintained here too. You can listen or download them by clicking the selected archives

link in the menu above to score them. These are usually programs which Sunshine thinks were memorable, and ought to be kept around for one reason or another. There’s a “contribute” link, and a “donation” link beside each of the archives. There’s no charge for these, but the opportunity to help support Sunday Soul is there if you have it to give, and want to support our efforts.

A Little History

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

Sunday Soul’s debut began in early 2003 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.

Little Plans and Designs

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
