Congrats to Dr. J's 1LUV project. They've got some tunes on the following compilations:
Secret Love 2 released by Sonar Kollektiv
Inspiration "Exclusives" released only in Japan on Columbia Records
"Drums, gongs, flags, and pennants are used to unite men's eyes and ears. When the men are united, the brave cannot advance alone, the cowardly cannot retreat alone. These are the principles for employing a large number of troops." - from 'The Art of War'
Created at the end of 2002, SunTzu Sound is a collective of DJs, producers, and promoters based in Pacific Northwest. Taking inspiration from the ancient text 'The Art of War' by Sun Tzu, the collective's strategy is to exercise patience, be visible when the time is right and speak loud when people are most ready to listen. SunTzu Sound believes this is the true way to gaining exposure and dominance in the growing electronic music scene.
Musically, SunTzu Sound is dedicated to connecting the dots between various grooves and genres. They are tuned into the ever expanding worlds of brokenbeat, future jazz, downtempo, hiphop, soul (old and new), jazz (old and new) and deep house. SunTzu Sound also exposes audiences to the importance of our musical past, as it pays respect to the creators of jazz, funk and soul.
Collectively, the members of SunTzu Sound have over 20 years experience as DJs and promoters. The following list proves their broad musical range and dedication to promoting both established and up-and-coming artists.

My Interests

Broken Beat, Future Jazz, Nu Soul, Afro-Latin, Deep House, HipHop, Brazilian, Dancehall, Electro-dub, Dusty Jazz, Soul Grooves

I'd like to meet:

lovers of music who are not constrained by labels or the need to have their music packaged in a tiny box. Let's unite all those who enjoy more than the 4-to-the-floor and DJ sets that encompass the entire spectrum of soulful beats. Breakers, rockers, head-nodders, booty-shakers.. come one, come all. We have heard the future of music and we want to share it with you.
