Sunny Graves is the medium through which Latino-British producer and sound artist Simon Williams channels his current 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 (including Sonar, Primavera Sound, Mutek, MIRA, LEV) and independent events around Europe/UK, and has contributed to the development of the fwd-thinking music scene in Barcelona through curating and organizing events with like-minded artists and friends, most recently via the nomadic/shape-shifting No Skyline platform, while also creating sound work for performances, films and installations in collaboration with visual artists. Following five years of pre/post-brexit life in London, as well as an extended collaborative research trip to Mexico, he returned to Barcelona in 2022 and is currently preparing the release of his next record. Both in a live format and in his dj sets, Sunny Graves traverses a wide spectrum of emotions and sounds, exploring the free-form territory that lies between the concrete and the abstract, freely transcending stylistic/formal boundaries while activating the potentials of sound systems as instruments for sharing knowledge, healing and resisting together.
