I REMEMBER THE SUN by JAMEL LEE

Closing out the record is a gorgeous deep-house ride by Jamel Lee Markx. As keyboardist and co-songwriter in Cole's old band Ownership, Jamel made his way into the Bay Area scene as a storied musician, only to emerge as one of its best DJs and most promising producers. "I Remember the Sun" pulls you in with its playful, yet thoughtful chords and flits, and sets the stage with a spoken word call to the power of the sun, and to being present in the moment. It wouldn't be out of place on a release from Ajuna Deep, but it's so much more than that. Joy Theater is proud to release the first track by Jamel Lee.

JAMEL LEE - I REMEMBER THE SUN_SNIPPET

COLE ODIN (who occasionally uses the moniker Ownership) was raised to the pulse of the twin hearts of the San Francisco Bay Area… a gritty underground DJ scene, and the blinding light of a rock and roll stage. A gigging and writing multi-instrumentalist of over 25 years, his music is inspired by arm hairs on end, uncontrollable smiles, and the concept of a song you can't take off repeat.

Since compatible comparison is justifiably needed by some to draw them into something new, the sounds of COLE ODIN's music can be traced from a variety of influences into a new hybrid of moving music. Some (sonic) examples might be… THE VERVE, COBBLESTONE JAZZ, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, KAUF, REMI WOLF, AMEN DUNES, ANDREW WEATHERALL, LCD SOUNDSYSTEM, BILL WITHERS, ROISIN MURPHY, FLAMING LIPS, EDDIE C, TAME IMPALA, RUB 'N TUG, M83, FLYING MOJOTO BROTHERS, SPIRITUALIZED, TOOL, PSYCHEMAGIK, SINEAD O'CONNOR, ANIMAL COLLECTIVE, SPOON, PRINCE, JANE'S ADDICTION, NITZER EBB, TODD TERJE, LORDE, ALL THEM WITCHES, CA7RIEL Y PACO AMOROSO, DJ HARVEY, FATHER JOHN MISTY & MANY, MANY MORE... As a DJ of over 20 years, his versatile style of moving through genre, tempo and mood is also reflected by looking at the selectors that influenced his desire to create the set as one long song- Thomas Bullock aka Tom From England (and all of SF's Wicked Crew), Solar, Eddie C, Idjut Boys, DJ Three, Colleen "Cosmo" Murphy, Balearic Mike, DJ Spun, Marshall Jefferson, Sean Johnston, Young Marco, Charlotte the Baroness, DJ Harvey, Karizma, and the too-long-to-list roster of local badassery the Bay Area is known for around the world.

Some recent notable accomplishments would be releases on such great labels as Leng, Eclectics, Golf Channel, NuNorthern Soul, and Das Sind Wir Recordings, and playing festivals and clubs with his heroes and peers. Cole is proud to have had his music included in sets by such legends as DJ Harvey, Eddie C, DJ Garth, Doc Martin, Psychemagik, Thugfucker, Sean Johnston and more, with his tracks having made Tim Sweeney's Beats In Space's best of 2019 show, and in end-of-year "best of" lists by Balearic Mike, Bill Brewster, and Sean Johnston.
