Matt uncorks a 2.5 hour extended trip through soul in different dance styles. From chill Detroit nighttime transitions to synthy boogie, house, and some abstract dub electronics. Don’t miss your medication from Talking Heads, and Deadbeat’s searing remix of Saul Williams for the closer.

Alright – looking forward to this one!
Many thanks…
always a pleasure
nice to see you back boys
woohoo!
new sonic sunset mixes are definitely one of the better things in life. digging the new website too.
Fantastic selection in this one.. Your mixes are always an inspiration for me! Thank you and Dave for bringing SonicSunset back!
Nice to see you back guys….
site looking good.
matt! waddup doe!?
More sonic sunset mixes going up!
This really is the best news. Your show opened new doors for me and always inspired me creatively.
Gonna turn the lights down low and absorb.
Keep em coming.
yay! for sonic sunset remixes. (especially the mattmcqueen sessions) I’m so pumped up at the moment, I regularly check sonicsunset.com – this was a big surprise! So excuse my enthusiasm ;D
I agree with everything Aether says. Your show inspires me so much! It’s a butterflies-in-my-stomach kinda thing. Oh, you know what I mean?!
Big Love.
is it just me or the mix is all breaked, like a scratchy cd?
cheers
Hmm, file is fine on this end. If you are streaming it right from the website, please download it instead first.
only the first record in the mix sounds like an old scratchy record, though, because it is one.. ha
cheers
I actually did download it, but let’s just try again 😉
Great track listing. Looking forward to this. Much respect from a first time visitor. Mind if I take a look around? 😉

Nice to see you again!
fantastic to have you back matt!
you guys have been seriously missed.
and a sublime selection as ever. loving mr flagio over here ;D
best wishes from london,
Dylan
Loving the boogie selections!
Downloaded and slept on this for a month, what a mistake! and how come I never caught that cybotron track?!
nice mix matt!
hello! i put two new tracks on my blog, may the funk be with you!!!
loving the tracks from 50:00 to 1:10!!!!!!
hey matt and dave–actually just swung by to see your dj bios page (i love those guys!). but it’s awesome to see you guys still putting mixes out there! i don’t know if you recall my name but i was streetbeat producer for a year while clinically inclined was around, and you guys were always my favorite show on the station (seriously!). you guys have a deep pool of knowledge that nobody else i worked with could even touch. when i was digging around in the stacks i would always take a listen to anything that had dave’s handwriting on it. i was very sad to see ci’s end, especially given that the representation of your style of music on wnur pretty much went with it. so it’s terrific to see that the two of you are still at it. i’ll try to tune in periodically, as it were.
here’s to many more fantastic mixes, gents.

Hi Ben,
yes I do remember you..
thanks for your very kind words. I look back at the WNUR broadcast show with a hazy glow.. driving up lakeshore drive from the city to the station, night falling all around, friday buzz in the air, walking from the parking lot through that eerie little forest in mist, snow, or evening beauty, up the weird little path to the tiny studio to do our thing. for all those years, really a ritual. so your comments are really nice to hear that we made an impression on the next generation of WNUR and radio DJs. I hope you will join our mailing list and you’ll get an email whenever we push a new site live. BTW we’re overdue for a new one this fall, soon enough.. -Matt
INNERVISIONS – thanks. the track is Modaji – Seen But Not Heard. It’s from a short-lived label called Co-Operation from 2000. It was on 2×12″ and CD.. here’s more info – http://www.discogs.com/release/93141
glad you dig it,
matt
Whens the next chapter .. coming guys ? I need my sonicsunset fix
Regards
Martin
Excellent!!
Greets from Tokyo!
Hey there,
discovered your show and beautiful mixes just recently through a friend of mine. Just can’t believe what quality you drop! This must be the best radio show on Earth…
Hugs & kisses from Germany,
Charalampos.
thanks we’re glad you found us, here in our little dusty crates basement of the internet…

The Talking Heads are still increadible
Just happened to be watching Bladerunner, and thought I had seen that owl image somewhere before… now I know – they stole if from the Superpeople mix.
