🌞💓 🌞 💓 Hello my dear friends 🌞 💓 🌞 💓

This week, the Sunset Loves show has reached the magic number 69 with another fantastic guest mix, this time from producer and performer Simon Sheldon from Ireland.Sunset Lovers 

Simon Sheldon has been writing, producing, releasing, and performing under many pseudonyms for over 30 years. He bought his first synth at age 10 and began working in ‘The Pink Museum’, OMD’s recording studio in Liverpool from age 16. 

After spending several years in Liverpool, playing small gigs in pubs and clubs in the evening and working with the likes of Echo and the Bunnymen and The Real People and with influential producers like Michael Hass (808 State & Primal Scream) during the day in ‘The Pink Museum’, OMD’s recording studio. 

On arriving in Belfast in 1995, Simon started writing, performing, and releasing as Solaris before forming the drum'n'bass outfit Spree. Spree went on to release many tracks on labels such as Aspect Records, Basic, Formation Records, and NIR, and later a full-length LP on Anamorphic Records.

As a side project, Simon joined forces with Paul Brown (Bedlam) and Robin (Touched and Crazy) to produce dub reggae and also performed a live set supporting the Legendary Lee "Scratch " Simon also played keys on the highly acclaimed ‘Suzume Park LP by a the Irish nu-jazz maestro’s Bellcrash.

In 2012 Simon started writing and DJing with Quentin Kane and instantly found a connection through house, funk, jazz, and all things soulful.  
In 2017 Simon and Quentin got invited by DJ Spen to produce a full-length mix LP in the ‘Unquantize Your Mind series’ on Unquantize Records. A debut 20-track LP titled ‘Exodus’ followed in 2019 on Unquantize. 

During lockdown, Simon produced a solo studio LP in 2020, The Four of Swords which tells a story.  
2021 saw the 2nd full-length LP from Quentin and Simon released under the Naked Bongo Band pseudonym which saw a moving away from the house sound they are renowned for and marked a dive into the wonderful world of Funk, Nu-jazz, and Breakbeat. 

Simon is also behind the prolific record label The Freebooter Lounge and the long-running freebooter radio show which guested on Café Mambo radio during lockdown in 2020.

*** LYRICS ***

feel the tide again 
pulling on my person like the moon at 3 
a m always comes with un easy feelings 
isolating myself yea it’s scaring me 

then you came along 
and you made me hap py 
to a 
feelings unfamiliar questioning 
(overwhelming)
change for better each day
distract myself w work
i’m so focused my heart frozen understandingly u calming me 

feel the tide again 
pulling on my person like the moon at 3 
a m always comes with un easy feelings 
isolating myself cause it’s scaring me
