Swedish artist Arc De Soleil, also known as Daniel Kadawatha, returns with his first release of 2025, the vibrant single “Sunchaser”, out now via Maison Records. A true one-man orchestra, Kadawatha writes, performs, produces, and mixes all of his tracks, crafting a sound that blends funk, rock, psychedelia, and world music—all anchored by his signature guitar work.
Inspired by a trip to Egypt, “Sunchaser” channels the awe-inspiring power of the sun, echoing the reverence ancient Egyptians had for Ra. Known for his ability to evoke cinematic emotions through instrumentation, Kadawatha has been incorporating more vocal elements into his music, with “Sunchaser” offering a vivid example of his evolving artistry.
Since launching Arc De Soleil in 2019, Kadawatha has remained an enigmatic figure, letting his music speak for itself. With a catalog spanning over three dozen singles and EPs, his genre-blending sound has drawn comparisons to Khruangbin while remaining uniquely his own. Standout projects like The Thief in Marrakesh Got Caught in Amsterdam Trying to Escape transport listeners into a 1960s spy film, while Libertalia and its Thai-influenced psychedelia showcase his global inspirations. Meanwhile, Bocosaurus shifts toward groove-heavy rhythms, proving his versatility.
Following a sold-out European tour in early 2025 and a U.S. ballroom tour in 2024, Arc De Soleil is gearing up for another exclusive run of U.S. dates, including performances at Electric Forest Festival and Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where he’ll open for Vulfpeck. He’ll then head to London to support Leon Bridges at Alexandra Palace Park.
Listen to “Sunchaser” now and stay tuned for more from Arc De Soleil.
