The combination of real soul funk music from the golden age of disco, sexy and witty dance performance originated from Korean club culture, and the exotic costume which is likely to be found in B-movies. It’s the darling of Cosmopolitan emotion sweeping through America and Eurasia. Yes. This is Sultan of the Disco.

Sultan of the Disco is a soul/funk/disco band from Seoul, South Korea. Members include Nahzam Sue(lead vocals), J.J Hassan(dance, performance), Ganji Kim(drums), G(bass), and Hong-ki(guitar). In 2007, the band was formed and named after the song of Dire Straits “Sultan of Swing'. It’s Nahzam’s ability to inherit the vintage disco sound directly from the 60s~70s soul and funk masters like “Kool and the Gang”, while sexy, unique and perfectly synchronized group dancing is purely Hassan who has spent more than enough years on the dance floor. Through the exotic costume that befits the name ‘Sultan’, the band combines musical seriousness and entertainment altogether.

In the very first full-length album 《The Golden Age》 which was released in February of 2013, Sultan of The Disco showed off their uniqueness like no other. This album obviously showed its remarkable nature even from the album cover which successfully portrayed the sentiments of 80s B-movies. Following the release, it was also immediately selected as the album of the week in the biggest portal site in Korea, Naver and garnered a great public response. Sultan of the Disco has been showing off their distinctive stage combined with dance and live performance through the most of the top Korean festivals. Now they are definitely beloved of all Korean music fans achieving a reputation like “Whoever watches Sultan’s performance can’t help dancing with those attractive guys”.

Owing to the great success in South Korea, Sultan of The Disco is currently working on a new single “Tang Tang Ball”. This song aims directly at the dance floor with straight-up rhythm and addictive hook and it will be released worldwide after the January of 2014.

The band is officially invited to Glastonbury Festival 2014 in the U.K, and has played at other international festivals including Summer Sonic(Japan) and Music Matters(Singapore) 2014.

Sister's Barbershop - Most Ordinary Existence (2008)

가장 보통의 존재

산들산들

구름이 걷히고 난 뒤 
눈부신 햇빛을 받으니
뚜껑이 열린 차를 타고
너와 단둘이 달린다

시커먼 먹구름 이제 다 걷히고
사랑하는 사람과 뚜껑 열린 차를 타고 길을 가 
바닥은 햇빛으로 반짝이는 
어느덧 먹구름 한 점 없는 하늘엔 무지개가

싫었던 추위는 모두 가 버리고
따뜻한 바람만이 귀를 스쳐 가
어제는 잊으면 돼 내일을 알진 못해도
난 네 옆에만 있으면 돼 
기름을 한가득 채워 다시 출발할게

오늘 고른 옷들이 맘에 들어 날씬 맑음야
제껴놓고 나가 할일대신 커피야
괜히 자리잡아 테라스에
시간낭비래도 좋아 잠깐 미뤄둘래
                                             
의자 뒤로 빼 창문도 다 내리지
떠나고 싶었어 뿌연 회색도시
여긴 문제없었고 내눈에 낀
시꺼먼 문제들이 먼지같았을뿐
  
매일같은 낮과밤 피해 맞는 바닷바람 뭔가 될꺼같은 기분
이건진짜 낭비일까
사랑하는 사람과 나눠 소중한 시간 흘려보낼래 내안의 복잡한 생각
                                                                        
갇혔었어 많은 시간을 혼자
범인은 분명해 남이 아닌 나 
날씨같이 변할래 순식간에 전부 다 
외면할래 산처럼 쌓인문제부터 난
자유로워질래 딱 지금 순간처럼만

구름이 걷히고 난 뒤 
눈부신 햇빛을 받으니
뚜껑이 열린 차를 타고
너와 단둘이 달린다구름이 걷히고 난 뒤 
눈부신 햇빛을 받으니
뚜껑이 열린 차를 타고
너와 단둘이 달린다

간혹 어둠이 떠올라 괴로워진대도
난 너만 있으면 달릴 수만 있다면
언제든 난 계속 갈거야

구름이 걷히고 난 뒤 
눈부신 햇빛을 받으니
뚜껑이 열린 차를 타고
너와 단둘이 달린다
