ABOUT THIS ITEM

Hatchback is Samuel Milton Grawe, Californian native and best buddy with Sorcerer aka Dan Judd, with whom he makes tracks under the Windsurf moniker. Hatchback is the sound of cruising through sun-drenched landscapes, along crystalline coastlines from the Autobahn to the California Highway. Inspired by In-Dash MP3 players playing the perfect song at the perfect time, Hatchback creates soundtracks for the film unfolding through your windshield. Utilizing an array of vintage synthesizers, analog drum machines, and the venerable Fender Rhodes electric piano, these are classic sounds with a modern twist. Spanning Neu-like motorik grooves, sunny disco moves, epic ambient journeys that rival Vangelis or Klaus Schulze for sheer electronic deepness and downtempo funk head nodders with Kraftwerk keyboards, this is a such a perfect summer album that it can make it seem like summer anytime of the year, even in the UK. Includes the seminal "White Diamond", as remixed by Prins Thomas and a big favourite with Ewan Pearson and Lindstrom.
