PERFORMERS

Inspired by the beats of cities around the world, Seattle’s SunTzu Sound collective extends the soul of dance music, bringing people together to dance with a cosmic blend of urban cultures and organic rhythms. Best known as the Northwest torchbearers of the rising brokenbeat scene, SunTzu is fueled by a faithful following in their motherland and beyond. The crew’s tireless efforts have made them an indispensable mainstay in Seattle, where they regularly book and promote top-shelf international talent and serve as the weekly hosts of Friday night’s City Soul on KBCS 91.3 FM. A tight-knit group of DJs, producers, and percussionists, together they have dedicated more than 50 years to music with soul—from brokenbeat to afrobeat, funk to jazz, hip-hop to house.
