Already known to the musically enlightened (and awake) as Sorcerer
(DanielJudd) and Hatchback (Sam Grawe) they hail from San Francisco and
they make some incredibly exciting and beautiful music.
As you'll read in the Q and A with Sam further down, I was already
doing remixes for both Daniel's and Sam's solo projects before I
realized they where Windsurf together.
My first idea was to put out their previously digital release
(“WindsurfEP”) on vinyl but as we connected more tracks and ideas came
up. Finally, when I was over in San Francisco last summer our
relationship was further cemented over glasses of scottish whisky.
Now...it has been a long wait for us all and I'm very thankful that Dan
and Sam trusted me with their “baby” even though they had no idea of
trusting me as a capable “babysitter”. The record was originally
intended as the perfect pre summer release but I've got to say it suits
the cool breeze of autumn just as perfectly. This album has been
constantly on my ipod for a few months now and even though I might be
biased I know I'll be playing this the whole winter through (and next
summer to) Coastlines a true labour of love I'm unfortunately not very
good at describing their music ( Tangerine Dream's Edgar Froese meets
Steely Dan?) but I guess the best point id to check the guys own
“SoundCosmos” further down.
The album will be followed shortly by the second 12” release take out.
It will include “Bird of paradise”, a remix of said track by Studio and
a very cool slo-mo house take by fellow californian The Beatbroker. And
hey!.....the first Windsurf release (INT002) is also available of
course. Also worth mentioning, in the meantime since we started
collaborating Sorcerer has released his debut album on Tirk and
Hatchback has recently completed an album for LO Recordings. They've
also managed to complete some seriously stunning and epic remixes for
Shawn Lee, Low Motion Disco, Black Mustang and LCD Soundsystem.
This is just the beginning...
