Band Members: Brighton (UK) based musician, producer and DJ, Will Sumsuch writes and produces chilled soul, hip hop, even a bit of deep house on the weekend... Playing live guitar, keys, drums and percussion gives Will's music a unique organic sound, even though he tends never to stick to one genre for more than 5 minutes....
Will’s tracks have garnered radio support across the Globe from such tastemakers as Ben Watt (Everything But The Girl, Galaxy FM) and Ras Kwame (BBC 1Xtra) among many others. His debut EP ‘Wait For Me’ was released on Deft Recordings in 2007 to much acclaim from his peers, and he produced poet/MC Asbest The Moor King’s ‘Never Had It Right’ EP released in 2008 on Latenite Lounging records. Remixes for Grand Agent & LivL Raynge, Candy Apple & Ozzie Jones have made him increasingly in demand as a producer.
As a DJ Will is a consistent champion of new underground hip hop, deep house and soul, often performing with various vocalists and musicians to add that all important live 'organic' feel to his sets. He regularly performs with artists & DJs from labels such as Catskills, Grand Central & Freerange, and has warmed up for DJ's from Zero 7 & Crazy Penis among many others.
.
His label Latenite Lounging launched in 2006 with a strong roster of artists from the UK and US.
