The long-running DJ/producer celebrates his 30th year in the business with a new album that's a love letter to Houston and a performance combining beats with an orchestra.
“Loveletter” came about when he was looking to do something after his 2016 album “Qingxi,” a project that had the mixed-race Sam-Sin venturing to China to explore the Chinese side of his roots. “After doing such a personal-life journey,” he says. “I was a little stuck as to what am I going to do next.”
Hanging out in Red Hook also took him back to his days growing up in Rotterdam, where he was born. As he says of his hometown, “I only have love for that city.” One idea that stuck out was performing the whole album live, creating with musicians the beats and sounds he made in the studio. “I was just thinking this through and wanting to perform what I’ve composed in a drum machine, and have it be represented by world-quality musicians in a live setting for the first time.”
Joining Sun, Chen and The Loveletter Orchestra will be Chris Dave & the Drumheadz, Fat Tony, Tim Ruiz and others. Artist/performer/Sun’s daughter, Khaili Sam-Sin, will recite some romantic prose alongside the music. A pre-show reception happens at 6:30 pm, featuring music from Oakland’s DJ Platurn and artwork from visual artist DUAL.
