Sunshine are a Serbian rapcore/hip hop band from Belgrade.
The band was formed in 1993 by the vocalist Branko Bojović "Bane", also known as Gumbrowski, who, having previously worked in the Novi Beograd band Green Cool Posse, formed Sunshine with vocalist Đorđe Radivojević, also known as Đole Ramirez. Recording several demo recordings in the early 1980s and being directly influenced by rap music, while spending two years living in the United States during the late 1980s, Bojović decided to present his own interpretation of the genre. The band recorded their debut album, Ljubavna likvefakcija (Love Assassifaction), released through Jugodisk, combining rap and hardcore punk with sexually overt lyrics, being thus distanced from the mainstream media but nevertheless gaining a loyal fan base. At the time, the band did not have a steady lineup, and the album was recorded with Del Arno Band members, Margita Stefanović (keyboards) and Zvonimir Đukić (bass guitar). The material from the debut album was reissued on CD by Metropolis Records, featuring the remixes of the songs "Priđi mi ti" ("Come Closer to Me") and "Pretty Boy", as well as the track "Extended Wicked Raggamuffin' Style Mix" as bonus material.
The followup, Sh.g.t.m., featured a similar lyrical style, having numerous vulgarisms, and sampled music combined with heavy beats. The recording sessions featured the guitarist Vojislav Bešić "Beške", a former Bezobrazno Zeleno and Glsiersi member, and Margita Stefanović's EQV appeared in the song "Misli mene gone" ("Thoughts Are Haunting Me"). By the end of the album recording, the band got the first steady lineup which beside the vocalists Bojović and Radivojević also featured a former Policijski Čas vocalist Nenad Bogojević "Bogi", former Bloodbath guitarist Stanimir Lukic "Staca", Sick Mother Fakers drummer Boris and bassist and trombonist Nemanja Kojić and Del Arno Band saxophonist Aleksandar Petković "Petko". Soon after, several lineup changes occurred and Petković was replaced by DJ Drej (real name Andrej Srećković) and Miloš Velmir "Buca". For a while, Srđan Jovanović "Jole", a former Oktobar 1864 drummer, performed with the band. Bojović, Lukić, Srećković and Bogojević recorded the music for the Jedan na jedan (One on One), directed by Mladen Matičević, also appearing as actors in the movie, but the soundtrack was never officially released.
