Take In The Past, Present & Future Of sundial [TMN Interview]

sundial
who cares!

Do you think you could work alongside the person you were in a relationship with? Could you live the dream together, doing exactly what you wanted to do? That’s just what sundial is doing. This exceptional duo of Berklee musicians consisting of Jisu and Dorothy have come to brighten your days with their poppy musical presentations.

Their latest track “who cares!” has already made its way around the internet and is continuing to do so with positive feedback from listeners and industry figures alike. sundial took their classical training and applied their knowledge to electro pop and are coming up with incredible records that are further bridging the two genres together.

We recently caught up with sundial in the dojo to talk about how they came to be, what they’re into and what we can expect from them for the rest of the year. Expect it to be a big one! Enjoy the stream of “who cares!” while you dive in and get to know these two talents.

TMN: How did you two end up meeting?

s: We were grabbing food with mutual friends during college!

TMN: What made you want to put together the Sundial project?

s: We decided we wanted sundial to be a serious project once we made “your scarf”. We were messing around on Ableton together and came up with the idea, “we’re excited for life”, and knew that we wanted to continue making music together and sharing our stories with other people.

TMN: I’m intrigued by the name, how’d it come to mind and what made you stamp the project with that monikker?

We were brainstorming while eating chinese take out outside our dorm room one night. We love the idea of life, nature, time, and staying in the present, and we felt that sundial was the perfect word to encompass all of those things.

TMN: Can you describe your sound in three words?

s: Snap, crackle, pop.

TMN: Speaking of your sound, you just released “who cares!” on Seeking Blue. Tell us a little about the song.

s: We tend to get too caught up in seeking validation from other people, and that could really affect the way we see and love ourselves. So, we created this song to remind people not to care about what other people think of you, because they don’t define you.

TMN: When you’re not making music, who are you listening to?

Jisu: Camila Cabello, Logic, Mura Masa, Selena Gomez.
Dorothy: Kehlani, Tori Kelly, Taylor Swift, Tom Misch.

TMN: If Trump’s America made it law that musicians could only collaborate with five artists, who would your five be?

s: Jon Bellion, Kanye West, Julia Michaels, Cashmere Cat and Diplo.

TMN: Hard not to notice your streetwear-esque style! Coincidence? Intentional branding? Any brands in particular you guys would love to collaborate with?

s: We both love street style clothing. From growing up in a city to skateboarding, fashion was something we were always aware of. We usually go for more minimal pieces because less is more. We love brands like Adidas, Champion, Supreme, CDG, or anything that has clean designs really. If any of those brands were interested in using our music, we would be so blown away.

TMN: What are some of your milestones for this year?

The past year was crazy for us because we achieved so much more than we thought we could. When we first started sundial, one of our biggest dreams was to release a song with MrSuicideSheep’s label “Seeking Blue”, and having already done that is super surreal for us. After playing our first show, reaching our first million plays, and meeting our fans and some of our idols in real life, it inspired us to dream bigger for the new year. In 2018, we will finally be graduating college, releasing an EP (or two), and playing our first headline show. We’re so excited and ready to see what’s in store for us!

TMN: With that in mind, what can we expect in 2018 to get you through those milestones?

s: Lots of new music, lots of performances, and lots of memes

Missy Elliott – Lose Control (Who Cares Remix) [TMN Premiere]

Missy Elliott
Lose Control (Who Cares Remix)// FREE DOWNLOAD

One of the most iconic songs of the early 2000’s is “Lose Control” by Missy Elliott. Everyone loves it and if you say you don’t, you’re just kidding yourself. Today we have for you something very special from one of our favorite breakbeaters Who Cares, who remixed the hit single and dropped it for free. Here in the dojo you get the first peak with this premiere!

Who Cares always puts out magic of his own kind. Electro/breakbeat is starting to make a comeback and the shrug life aficionado is contributing to a big part of that. With his “Lose Control” remix he dishes out some hardy basses that will get your body moving. The original was highly memorable given it’s catchy nature, which Who Cares plays off of with its stems, but also infuses his own features that will nest themselves in your mind. It’s not easy to remix a song of this caliber but Who Cares did so with ease. Don’t forget to grab this free download. Whether you’re a DJ or simply a fan, this is a must have.
