It is hard to believe that it has been over 20 years since the first Joey Negro record "Do It, Believe It" was released on New York's trend setting house label Nu Groove.
Unsure of an act name for the track Dave made up a spoof alter ego from two records he had next too his desk at work - Pal Joey and J Walter Negro - it was not something he anticipated would be used for more than that one track let alone the next 20 years...
This new “10 Years of The Sunburst Band” album that accompanies the "20 Years of Joey Negro" album celebrates the best of Joey's Sunburst Band productions with DJ Spinna drafted in to mix the tracks.
The Sunburst Band mix is a journey through some of the finest output of this much lauded live-band project. A return to the purity of Daves influences, The Sunburst Band has been a huge critical success and is a veritable goldmine of unadulterated, sundrenched soul, disco and funk.
With a steady trajectory from the live and lazy vibes of "We Can Live Forever" to the swinging Idjut Boys remix of "Twinkle" and on to the NY-house of Dennis Ferrers interpretation of "Journey To The Sun", the mix is a smooth yet varied affair which makes joyful sense of what is wildly eclectic source material.
