And....Here it is..

May I introduce to you....The one and only.....

SCOTCH HOWARD!!!

This album was like a long, psychadelic journey into the inner depths of our imaginations and aspirations. I have always looked at Scotch as somewhat of a taste maker. Producing his debut album was further proof and was some of the most fun I have ever had. period.

I like to think that sometimes when you press record, you capture more then is right in front of you.  In certain situations, it feels like a little extra presence is there when you press playback. Almost like a ghost was in the room coming through a synthesizer or an old guitar amp, or riding on a frequency through a sizzling tube mic. It is the mystery and the addiction of recording music to me. The small miracles and unexplainable vibe that sometimes seems to pop out of nowhere, and all of a sudden it is captured in the form of a song!

Throughout the process of making Mandara, there were many of these moments and small revelations. Different moods which changed like the weather and different songs which told this story. I like to think the story of Scotch Howard is ever-evolving and that this is the first chapter...And it all started in a hot basement in the heart of LA... filled with vintage synths, a makeshift vocal booth, red concrete walls and a surge of kinetic electricity...Check out the story!
