Seattle broken-beat crew SunTzu Sound recently signed to Giant Step, “a leading concert promoter, music and lifestyle marketing company, and independent record label” based in New York. This is big news for the hard-working local DJ/producers, who for the past few years have been diligently trying to raise awareness about this British-born style of organic, weird fusion of house, drum ‘n’ bass, hiphop, and soul.

Giant Step, which has worked with Gilles Peterson, Zero 7, Jody Watley, Zap Mama, and many others, says its "mission is to introduce high quality, innovative music, talent, and products to our national and international community."
