musclecars, composed of Craig Handfield & Brandon Weems, are staples in NYC’s House scene and beyond through their party-turned-label Coloring Lessons, effervescent sets on The Lot Radio, and increasingly acclaimed productions. Expanding on their debut EP ‘Street Dreams’, the duo returns to
toucan sounds with ‘Street Dreams (Deluxe)’, bringing together remixes from London’s K15 and Tokyo’s Dazzle Drums alongside original cuts.
Leading the release, ‘She Raised Us In Sunset Park’ sees the duo offer a fresh take on ‘The Man Who Kept Bedstuy Warm’, bringing a flurry of dense live percussion alongside soaring guitar licks, vibrant horns, and smooth keys. K15 brings wildlife ambiance and gorgeous, soft chords for his take on ‘Sol’, burying the vocals under a bed of dreamy house.
Dazzle Drums takes ‘Sun Track I’ into downtempo territory, reworking Tiff Ortiz’s vocal performance into a delicate and organic affair. Offering two parts to the release, ‘Street Dreams (Deluxe)’ includes a digital three-track release of brand new material alongside a 12” vinyl including the latest works alongside tracks from their 2020 debut.

Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb. jef37
