It's been two years since the world lost Colin Butts.   Before he passed I had the chance to do some work with him in the studio, when he asked me to record the vocals for a song that he had written years before called Lying In The Sun.   I've never uploaded it anywhere before, but as it's been two years since his departure to a higher place I thought I would share this version of his song which I recorded with him as a tribute to the brilliant, funny, cheeky and incredibly talented human being Colin Butts was!

Lying In The Sun (A Song By Colin Butts)

Peyton’s voice and lyrics have become synonymous with soulful house. His trademark gospel-infused, uplifting sound borrows inspiration from his childhood as the real-life son of a preacher man in Virginia where he grew up. For the past two decades, Peyton has performed in over sixty countries and across six continents, making headline appearances at events like Sydney’s Mardi Gras and the official Beijing Olympics afterparty and also holding summer residencies in Ibiza at Blue Marlin and Space. Peyton has collaborated with some of house music’s most beloved all stars, including the late godfather of house Frankie Knuckles and the legendary Eric Kupper.

In 2022, Peyton co-founded and launched Revival Records, a label and music collective committed to creating high quality dance productions and more opportunities for artists.
