Sun People - Look Within (Album Sampler)

Look Within` is the first album on All Things Records providing a glimpse of (all) things to come. In over 10 tracks, Sun People follows previous explorations into footwork and techno influenced realms at 160bpm. Yet, here he mostly leaves the sonic palette of the footwork/jungle/bass continuum to go beyond it, building a wider musical context including references to minimal music or jazz. Stepping into territories without structural or functional limitations leads Sun People towards raw, experimental, analogue jams, while remaining in the realm of club music. This form suggests a deeper exploration of dance music that wants to create and allow a meditative zone on the floor, evoking not only physical but also mental reactions and affects. Sun People: ‘The album title refers to an inner journey that – at least potentially – all of us have to go through. Based on my experience, I believe that it is only by taking the path of getting to know ourselves, our traumas, our heritage, our boundaries, our limits, our misconceptions and our compulsions that we can find a better way to live, to love and to interact both within the inner and wider social and political contexts that we are born into. In that sense, the idea of ’Look Within’ is about looking outside and beyond ourselves. Regarding the complex and very demanding circumstances of living in the early 21st century I think we need more clear visions to be able to transition into a world beyond the violence and injustice of late fascist capitalism’.
