Sun People is making a splash with some of the most influential names in music. KCRW Music Director Jason Bentley said, “Sun People reflects a rich musicality, while infectious rhythms keep the party live. Nickodemus truly knows no borders on this global dance floor” while Wax Poetics wrote “Riding high on a whirlwind energy of world beats, Sun People sounds like a steamy summer of bright nights and breaking dawns. Simply put, this is hot.” Last week, All Music Guide (AMG) noted “If you love the summer, sunshine, and New York City, then you just may find quite a bit of pleasure in the sophomore outing by Nickodemus, Sun People” while San Francisco Bay Guardian added “Nickodemus delivers a groove pummeling sound collage that expands on the cosmopolitan spirit fundamental to the Afrobeat tradition.”

The critics totally got it right because Sun People IS the soundtrack of summer – it was crafted by Nickodemus for people who love the sun, sunshine and brighter days to come. Sun People mixes positive sonic vibes from all over the globe with collaborators spanning 10 different countries.
Recording artists The Real Live Show guests on the uplifting Hip-Hop jam ‘Sun Children’ while Quantic lends his unmistakable groove on the Salsa Ritmo of “La Lluvia.” Not to be outdone, Brazilian songstress Liliana Araujo features on the hot samba of “Gira Do Sol” while Mandingo vocalist Ismael Kouyate lends his Afro-beat groove to “N’Dini.”

Apart from Sun People, Nickodemus is hot n’ heavy into the 10th anniversary of his famed summer NYC outdoor dance party Turntables On The Hudson (TOTH). The live vibe of Sun People is fully realized at each TOTH event where an eclectic musical blend of Hip-Hop, funk, house and soul is played back to back with Latin, Afrobeat and Eastern European gypsy sounds. TOTH parties taking place every Friday at the Water Taxi Beach in Long Island City, Queens overlooking Manhattan and the East River.
