its mildly comical, that tim wagner and amy douglas, two former long islanders would choose sunrise hwy (former sunrise highway) as the name for their venture, but one listen to the music, and its clear as to why they chose such a lofty and expansive name. sunrise hwy is atmospheric, sophisticated, broad, and most importantly a return to the song as king.

>its killing!< nile rodgers a five track masterpiece of pure 8os influenced pop/funk/boogie from new york. mastered by herb powers (sade, eric b. & rakim, sharon redd, evelyn champagne king etc.)

lago santo was made for the road. inspired by a drive through the mountains and valleys of northern italy in the summer of 2016, mculo s new ep is a soundtrack for highways, torn maps, sunrises, glacial lakes, and the wind. opening with in retrospect, a motorik, driving number that climaxes with a synthesized melodic hook, the b-side softens into the shimmering, windows-down piano riffs of bra hugh. the title track wraps things up with dizzying psychedelic tones and a smattering of percussion. early dj support from san soda, dark sky, gratts and kong, chaos in the cbd, youandewan

yuri mendez jr. has an amazing gift for composing good songs. he arranges them and records them brilliantly, and then groups them together on an album in an unpredictable yet cohesive way (his last album had 22 tracks. this one only has 8). uri mŽndez jr. is a true artisan in the best sense of the word. this is pajaro sunrises third album, and although the essentials havenÕt changed (good songs, great songs), the rest has certainly evolved. yuris voice sounds more and more emphatic, and with an extensive register full of nuances, he sings a story in every song. in doing this, he covers a stunning vocal range that dazzles from the first listen. yuri has been playing together with the same fantastic band for some time now. with them, he has rehearsed the tracks (many of which they were already playing in concerts), and then gone into the studio where almost everything was recorded with everyone playing live. the benefits of having a group that has already travelled together, as well as shared stages and life experiences are evident. and, if this disc breathes anything, its travel, highways, and familiar stories stolen from faraway places that also feel nearby. its a grandiose yet intimate album that thrills and grows with each listen.

one per customer! edwards 2nd album -into a better future- accompanies you for hours, makes you forget that daily grind. it is serious encouragement of movement, telling you to get away from the thick mess and find your way onto a proper highway. you will pass machines along the side of the road, engaged in a process of construction while your hands feel clean. and once in a while you ll hear the sound of sunrise and sunset racing each other in a tight rhythm.
