“I can’t draw or paint very well, and I don’t know how to play any instruments” (quote). Half the people I know can’t either, and the half who can play instruments have impressed me as much as DJ Sunderland.

Then again, if I’m not being amazed by how much I genuinely like the Bastard Pop (again, a phrase coined by Sunderland himself) mixes made by him, I’m being astounded by the sheer humbleness of the man.

An Astra-driving, UK-comedy loving, merchant of useless facts, I’m totally sold. As Equally annoyed as me by the band brown nosing that NME has succumb to, DJ Sunderland not only plays songs before they inevitably hit the mainstream but works the seldom used art of the mash up upon them.

This stuff is not for the faint hearted, frankly I can imagine that they’d find it that little too much. Similarly, the know-it-all Indie fans (and possibly of the scenes harshest critics) will read too much into it. But I can see his music is just about having as much fun listening to it, as he did making it.

If you’re bored with predicable play sets, text book chord progressions, and skinny little rich kids trying to provide a social commentary on a life they never lived, you need DJ Sunderland . If you just need something cool and different to play to your friends , DJ Sunderland is your man. Or if you simply fancy a refreshing change, DJ Sunderland is the one you need.
