John Barera & Brian Abelson - Boundary Waters (Malik Hendricks Remix) by Sorry Records published on 2022-06-03T21:09:20Z [SR49] John Barera & Brian Abelson - Myrtle Ave Wetlands EP w/ remixes from Malik Alston (@malikalstonofficial) and Malik Hendricks (@malikhendricks) ** OUT JUNE 3rd 2022 -- sorry.ffm.to/sr49.PBT ** We conceived this record as a musical love letter to our favorite club and musical institution, Bossa Nova Civic Club. The iconic street corner depicted on the cover is where we met over a spliff a few years back and serves as the backdrop for conversations that tie our rich music scene together. Bossa has been a musical home for many - including us, having both thrown parties there. When we decided to have our first recording session in early March 2020 at Brian's old loft by Myrtle Broadway, we ended up with the title track. It was clear that something clicked musically and we set forth to complete an EP, eventually finishing it during lockdown. The EP tells the story of a night at the club, moving from upbeat and airy to dark and claustrophobic tracks. In 2021 we got to road test "Myrtle Ave Wetlands" at Bossa and it went off, which is one the best confirmations that a tune is working. The EP includes remixes from NYC's Malik Hendricks and Detroit's Malik Alston, producers we greatly respect. We hope you enjoy this slice of music, inspired by our New York dance music heroes and infused with live instruments that we played. Thank you for listening and to Sorry Records for giving us a home for this project. - John Barera and Brian Abelson Written, produced, mixed by @JOHNBARERA & @abelsonlive Remixes by @malikhendricks @malikalstonmusic Mastered by @aliberger Artwork by Mitchell Johnson Genre Deep House
