All the way from Cologne, Germany, Sunday Love welcomes SIS to the District. The German native became the first producer to be featured on Ricardo Villalobos’ imprint, Sei es Drum, which at that point only released records of Ricardo’s. More success led to Sven Väth signing SIS to his Cocoon DJ agency, where SIS would go on to become a resident of Cocoon on the white isle of Ibiza. Damian Lazarus also released an EP on his Crosstown Rebels featuring “Faces” by SIS. With aliases such as Mr. Dolomite, which explores his funky side, as well as a solo live act ‘SIS and the solo ensemble’ and Chupacabra, an ambient act accompanied by live musicians. SIS has received support from some of the biggest names in electronic music, and now he’s ready for your support at another edition of Sunday Love.
He is joined by two of DC’s finest, Metabanna, and Faridjee, formerly of Thursday People.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
SIS:
There is a wild unbridled energy to Burak Sar aka SIS. At any moment, he will change character; each one of his faces is as emotionally believable as the next. The mischievous schoolboy, the brooding artist, the entertaining clown, the lovable rogue; with hints of criminality, insanity, and tortured genius all in one, a rollercoaster of personalities he is, theatrical and yet, as real and deep as the ink that covers his arms and chest.
That volatile mix is just who SIS is. With Turkish genes, a German upbringing, and a deviant teenage life that saw him tussle with gang life and engage in cheeky, morally grey activities, SIS is the exact opposite of the cardboard cut-out, squeaky clean radio DJ.
His musician father was the one who introduced him to music. As a young boy, SIS used to accompany his father to smoky gigs with his Turkish musical group, where bearded men of sweat created hypnotic rhythms and intoxicating folk using only their rough hands, exotic instruments, drums, and spit. The raw intense collaborative music sessions were imprinted
firmly on SIS’ soul, affecting him and his music ever after.

Mettabana:
Mettabbana’s sets and productions range from raw analog and folkloric motifs from all corners of the world to melding sounds with electronic productions. He has been a thrust in the DC global music scene as a founder and curator of a number of music event series and collectives welcoming international artists. These include the all-vinyl global vintage groove Analog Soul Club, Crepúsculo events, and 1001 Beats. He has released tracks on labels such as Cosmic Awakenings, YNFND, and trndmsk, among others, and has performed in venues and festivals across five continents.
