Kaz James Drops New Summer Anthem ‘Sun Is Shining’ with Iconic Cover Art

Melbourne-born DJ and producer Kaz James is back with a vibrant new single, Sun Is Shining, perfectly timed for the sunny Australian summer. Known for his infectious house beats and energetic DJ sets, Kaz has delivered a track designed for long, warm days by the ocean, with a cocktail in hand and the sun high in the sky.

The new single has already received major support from global DJs, and Kaz recently played it live to an enthusiastic crowd at Burning Man. Released via his own label, Krushes, Sun Is Shining combines euphoric melodies with a laid-back groove, making it an instant summer hit.

Accompanying the track is up there with the best cover art in history, featuring none other than Hollywood icon Bill Murray. A surreal encounter at a party in Jamaica, where a shirtless Murray joined Kaz in the DJ booth, sparked the memorable moment.

“So, I’m playing at this wild party in Jamaica, and out of nowhere, a shirtless Bill freakin’ Murray walks up. He casually comes into the DJ booth, gives me this mischievous, almost devilish look. I hand him my headphones, and he starts messing with the mixer like he’s done it a thousand times. He strikes a pose for a pic, then just heads off and dances like a madman for two solid hours in front of me on the dance-floor. It was one of those ‘did that really just happen?’ moments.”Kaz James.

With another feel good jam under his belt, Kaz once again proves why he’s one of Australia’s most celebrated dance music talents.

Let this track be the soundtrack to your summer and beyond! It’s available now, everywhere via Krushes.
