Sons And Daughters Of Lite - Let The Sun Shine In | Luv N' Haight (LHLP034)

Formed in Oakland in the early 1970s, the Sons and Daughters of Lite recorded Let The Sun Shine In, their only LP, which has now achieved holy grail status among collectors.

Let The Sun Shine In is a spiritual recording filled with soul, funk, jazz, and African percussion. The musical collective described themselves as a mix of African rhythms, Latin flavors, and Far Eastern textures.

This album was virtually unknown to DJs and collectors until Michael McFadin's discovery in the late 80s. He then scoured the bay area and bought up multiple copies for his record store The Groove Merchant on Haight Street in San Francisco, many of which were bought from flea markets and the dollar bins of other shops.

The outrageously funky title track became a jazz dance classic, courtesy of heavy radio and club play by top UK DJ and tastemaker Gilles Peterson.

After meeting and working with Janko Nilovic - the extraordinary French library maestro - on a new album, while traveling and performing together around the world for almost 10 years, Igor Zhukovsky & Romeo Miussky - the multi-instrumentalist production duo, and rhythm core of The Soul Surfers - were inspired to make a record of free, spiritual, esoteric sounds which blended together on tape and made Sound Excitement happen.Drawing on their experience as soundtrack composers and using heavyweight Soviet analog equipment, including a few vintage personal instruments belonging to some legends of the Soviet leftfield music scene, Igor & Romeo started experimenting with genre-blending music. The outcome of their recordings are a mixed bag of different moods and genres.“It's something similar to a library record or more like a compilation of many different library records on one LP for a good decade if you know what I mean? It's the work which we're really excited about and excited to share with you! ...oh that's hell of a wordplay!"- I. Zhukovsky
P-Vine: ...US funky drummer Les DeMerle is one of the representations of rare groove scenes. His 1st album was released in 1968 and is finally reissued as vinyl for the first time! Many killer tracks for diggers are included, such as “A Day In The Life” which is also known as sampling material of HIP HOP classic OC “Time’s Up” and the US No.1 hit great funk number “Aquarius” by Fifth Dimension.In addition, great musicians were joined for this great funk album such as Frank Foster, Lew Tabackin, Arnie Lawrence, Charles Sullivan, etc…you can find how young Les DeMerle was a talented drummer even though he was just around 20 years old at that time!
