❤️‍🔥💥RELEASE THE REMIX! "SOOK-YIN LEE- BROKEN ENGLISH (MOON KING MIX)" OUT NOW on all platforms.  LINK IN BIO (full visualizer on Youtube) MOON KING is a sonic wizard who has blazed a dance music path through Montréal, Detroit and Toronto. He remixes Sook-Yin Lee’s version of Broken English (Marianne  Faithfull) and takes the track back to its original disco roots, offering a sick spin of the powerful anti-war anthem. A propulsive beat, hard cut breakdown, and abstractions alter Lee’s cover of the song to great effect. In this time of uncertainty and possibility, the song circles back to usher in a new era of change and chaos. Let us dance. REMIX by @danielmoonking mastered by Robert Steenkamer @just_roberto Original song by Marianne Faithfull, Barry Reynolds, Joe Mavety, Steve York, Terry Stannard, 1979 Reimagined by Sook-Yin Lee: vox, synthesizers, organ, guitar, samples, electronics Additional beat & keys by @danielmoonking 🌝👑 📸 Portraits by @dylangamblez Solo MK pic & stills from the visualizer by @sookyinleee We had a ton o' fun in the tiled subterranean palace @thejama___ for this shoot on Daniel's birthday when he was DJing with his brother Airick Asher Woodhead. 💐🎊 🙏🏽Special thanks to @james.o.mejia & @galkin.jonathan + @mariannefaithfullofficial 💗 Sook-Yin Lee’s full-length album, will be out on @handdrawndracula May 30, 2026
