Out Now : Bob Marley ft. Robin Schulz – ‘Sun Is Shining’
ROBIN SCHULZ BREATHES NEW ENERGY INTO THE BOB MARLEY CLASSIC ‘SUN IS SHINING’
Grammy-nominated DJ and producer Robin Schulz has remixed the Bob Marley classic ‘Sun Is Shining’, out 17th July via Island Records.
A high-energy, club-focused version of ‘Sun Is Shining’, Schulz adds an infectious bassline and feelgood piano chords to the more downtempo original, delivering a dance track that’s been crafted with summer in mind. Originally released on Bob Marley & The Wailers’ 1971 album Soul Revolution, ‘Sun Is Shining’ is one of Marley’s most critically acclaimed tracks.
“It is an absolute honour to be chosen to do this remix. Bob Marley is a true legend. It is a privilege and a highlight of my career to have the opportunity to add my individual note to this magnificent song. I am really looking forward to the release.” – Robin Schulz
Schulz burst onto the scene in 2014 with his remix of ‘Waves’ by Dutch hip-hop artist Mr Probz, which later received a Grammy nomination for ‘Best Remixed Recording’. He has since become one of the most recognisable electronic artists on the planet, collaborating with the likes of David Guetta, Cheat Codes and, most recently, Swedish singer-songwriter Winona Oak on May single ‘Oxygen’. Schulz has also made it into the coveted DJ Mag ‘Top 100’ list every year since 2015.
On ‘Sun Is Shining’, Robin Schulz has transformed a Bob Marley classic into a sunkissed dance track with serious crossover appeal.

**The last Bob Marley remix ‘Is This Love’ with LVNDSCAPE & Bolier did over 125 million Spotify streams, reaching the Spotify charts in 20 countries including #112 globally*
BOB MARLEY HAS BEEN CALLED “THE FIRST THIRD WORLD SUPERSTAR”, A VISIONARY, A REVOLUTIONARY AND EVEN A PROPHET
Certainly he was one of the most characteristic and challenging performers of this century. His timeless and evocative music continues to have an enormous impact on people of all races throughout the world.
Like most popular artists, Marley wrote about love. But his music also reflected a militant spirituality, a blood-red hatred of racism and colonialism, and a deep yearning for personal, artistic, political and social freedom. It is important to consider the roots of this legend. All these themes reflected the experiences of a man of mixed racial heritage growing up in a poverty-stricken crown colony. Marley was the product of Jamaica, a country with a unique mixture of black pride and fundamentalist religions set against a background of extreme economic deprivation.
Although there was clearly genius in his vocal abilities, in his on-stage charisma and in his vastly underrated guitar work, it was Marley’s attitude and lyrics that made a lasting impact on listeners. He mined fresh artistic territory by reflecting the concerns of impoverished people everywhere.
Marley¹s musical career stretched over twenty years. During that time his style reflected every new development in the rise of modern Jamaican music-from ska to contemporary “international” reggae.
