Their newest release, appropriately titled <strong>\u201cGhetto Funk,\u201d<\/strong> is a perfect example of their production prowess\u2014from the moment the first roomy, bouncy bassline drops, the track begs for booty shaking, foot stomping, and mean muggin\u2019 throughout its entirety. It\u2019s clear that Sunstars is here to teach us \u201cthe sound of ghetto funk\u201d as they perceive it. The track is Sunstars\u2019s first single release on Protocol Recordings, which follows their premiere on the label with \u201cFlames\u201d as part of the Protocol ADE 2016 Compilation. Labelhead Nicky Romero has taken a shine to<strong> Sunstars<\/strong>\u2019s productions, dropping both <strong>\u201cFlames\u201d<\/strong> and <strong>\u201cGhetto Funk\u201d<\/strong> some of his biggest shows as of late, such as Balaton Sound, Tomorrowland and Ultra Europe. Nicky also held the worldwide premiere of \u201cGhetto Funk\u201d on Protocol Radio, where he also interviewed the trio as a new part of the Protocol family. With more new music coming soon, there\u2019s no doubt that this is only the beginning of the journey for Sunstars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/prot.cl\/ghetto-funkPS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download \/ Stream &#8220;Ghetto Funk&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Italian trio of Andrea, Alberto and Luigi first broke onto the scene as Sunstars in 2014 with their first release on Ultra Music, titled \u201cReckless.\u201d They quickly followed it with a massive remix of Benny Benassi\u2019s \u201cLet This Last Forever,\u201d which landed them a slot performing at the iconic Ministry of Sound in London. After that gig, Sunstars was swept in a whirlwind of production and remix opportunities: \u201cThe Blitz,\u201d which was a collaboration with Swanky Tunes; teaming up with Merk &amp; Kremont for \u201cEyes,\u201d and doing an official remix of Bob Sinclair\u2019s \u201cSomeone Who Needs Me.\u201d Most recently, they released \u201cRitual,\u201d and now they have joined Protocol\u2019s ever-growing roster of forward-thinking and dynamic talent with \u201cGhetto Funk.\u201d Sunstars is also set to perform at Protocol&#8217;s Amsterdam Dance Event showcase at the legendary venue Melkweg on October 18th so stay tuned for more fresh content from this dynamic duo under the Protocol moniker!<\/p>\n[vc_video link=&#8217;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EKkNLZ_YF6Q&#8217; align=&#8221;center&#8221;]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like their namesake elements, Sunstars has a knack for fusing unexpected styles of dance music into a catchy and unique sound that is all their own.
