Music created with Sound Intentions to stir the soul
About
2020 was a chaotic year for planet earth; from the devastating Australian wildfires to Brexit to Covid-19, a global pandemic that put a sudden end to any traditional music and entertainment events with physical distance restrictions imposed around the world. No more concerts, clubs, beach parties or even gatherings in person.
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, live streaming exploded. A form of musical expression and social connection over the internet with broadcasts by musicians, DJ's and producers around the world. From global icons streaming from their kitchens, gardens, bunkers and even baths (we're looking at you Binary Finary) with audiences of tens of thousands (Gracias Hernan!) to local DJs playing for handfuls of friends, connecting music lovers in a new way, providing positive experiences to help everybody through uncertain times and building new communities. The technical challenges were not insignificant; platform copyright algorithms, optimising audio and video codecs, virtual audio routing and internet connectivity caused many hiccups along the way, but also gave rise to heroes like SUAT wandering around like a 21st century one man mobile disco encouraging everybody to dance (we salute you Sir!)
With travel restrictions in place, there were no pilgrimages to Café del Mar or Café Mambo, Benirras or Pikes on the white isle of Ibiza. Music lovers forced into isolation for long periods instead.
Secret Sunset was created by Gus F on the beautiful island of Jersey to share something a bit different, for those still under quarantine, for those who mourned for Ibiza, for those who love magical moments at sunset (and maybe the occasional sunrise) in beautiful locations on this incredible island.
Sound Intentions followed soon after; an outlet to release music that had been produced especially for those magical Secret Sunset events.
Gus F is a musician, DJ and producer with a broad range of musical tastes reflected in the wide variety of events he plays at, from his residency at club night Dig Deep on the beautiful island of Jersey to extended sets at beach bars, outdoor parties and underground lock-ins. A regular late night contributor to The Beat Laundry live streams and Sunday Sessions with numerous sets during lockdown, Gus also curates and produces music for Secret Sunset; live streaming from different beautiful locations showcasing the island of Jersey at sunset, sharing deep melodic vibes around the world. Winner of the Sasha / Last Night On Earth x TRAKTOR mix competition in November 2019.
