about

Musical Style: Cinematic Future Western Funk

Musical Influences: Tarantino films, Theodore Shapiro, Dick Dale

Musical Inspiration: This track is the second out of our cinematic based on the persona of The Cowboy. Pays homepage to those old black and white westerns Williams used to watch with his Dad with more of a hip hop vibe to it.

Artist Statement: "I originally recorded this track with Alan Evans and Darby Wolf in western Massachusetts at Alan’s Studio. He had this great idea and we just ran with it. I love this song a lot and we’re just finishing an animated film to go with its release." - DJ Williams

Track Description: DJ Williams’ Shots Fired puts on their boots and plays the role of ‘The Cowboy’ in their second Color Red single “Sunset Trails.” The cinematic, future western funk tune pays homage to black and white westerns Williams used to watch with his father. Shots Fired leaves a modern imprint on these classic visuals with hip-hop vibes, cascading horn lines, and driving motifs that could easily fit into a Tarantino film while weaving in influences of Dick Dale’s iconic surf rock and Theodore Shapiro’s quintessential film scoring. “Sunset Trails” will be followed up with two additional singles and a full EP coming out on Color Red in fall 2020.
