Sunny Graves

Sunny Graves is the medium through which Latino-British producer and sound artist Simon Williams channels his most recent sonic output. Born in Guatemala, he grew up between Venezuela and the UK, eventually becoming a foundational part of the then nascent jungle and outsider club movement in Caracas before migrating to Barcelona in the early 2000s. Since his initial releases as Sunny Graves, he has performed at various international festivals and DIY events, and has contributed to the development of the fwd-thinking music scene in Barcelona through organising events with like-minded artists and friends, most recently via the nomadic/shape-shifting No Skyline platform, while also creating sound work and soundtracks for performances, films and installations in collaboration with visual artists. Following over four years of experiencing post-Brexit life in London, as well as a collaborative research trip to Mexico, he returned to Catalunya in the spring of 2022 and is currently preparing the release of his next record. Behind the decks, Sunny Graves traverses a wide spectrum of genres, tempos, rhythms and sounds, exploring the free-form territory that lies between the concrete and the abstract, freely transcending stylistic/temporal/geographical boundaries, activating the potentials of the sonic medium and the space, and constantly re-thinking the idea of what a dj set can be.
