[House, Disco House]
Simon Newby, aka Da Sunlounge began DJ'ing in and around the Midlands
deep house scene 13 years ago. In the early days he was resident of the
much-respected night 'Travelling Without Moving'...
...playing alongside DJ's such as Terry Francis, Inland Knights, Peace Division, Andy Wetherall, Digs'n'Woosh and Diesel. It was at this night, he played a dub plate of one of his first production's. Clive Henry of Peace Division heard it and immediately signed it to his label, Low Pressings.
Da Sunlounge has been producing deep house music for over 10 years, with releases to date on some of the most recognised international label's within the industry, and of course his own label's Myna Music and Bambino Recordings (launched Dec'05). Myna has reached it's 34th release and is regarded as a leading underground label and receives continuous support from some of the world's most renowned DJ's such as Laurent Garnier, Nic Fantiulli, Pete Tong (Radio 1), Ian Pooley, Miguel Migs, Silicone Soul, Swirl People, Lawnchair Generals, Ashley Beadle, Inland Knights, David Duriez, The Littlemen, Mark Farina, among many others.
Many of his productions have been licensed to various compilation mix CD's. His busy DJ schedule continues to take him around the world. Past gig's have taken him to the USA, Australia, Malaysia, Brazil, Serbia, Spain, Czech Rep., Lithuania, Slovakia, Poland, Latvia, Berlin, Belgium, Bulgaria, Norway, Sweden and the UK. Ranging from backrooms & bars, to clubs with a capacity of over 1000 people. Then of course, there's playing in the middle of a field in the Midland's countryside to free party goers!
