Windsurf

Windsurf are the duo of San Francisco-based producers Daniel Saxon Judd and <a href="spotify:artist:6AUMk9WLY52cBTArQhLTKu">Samuel Milton Grawe</a>. Both together and separately -- <a href="spotify:artist:6AUMk9WLY52cBTArQhLTKu">Grawe</a> also records as <a href="spotify:artist:6AUMk9WLY52cBTArQhLTKu">Hatchback</a>, while Judd, formerly of the band <a href="spotify:artist:0FBCfZZ8QmZbZwAeuw9vRc">Call & Response</a>, works on his own under the name <a href="spotify:artist:52dOB8NnVebX03xhmfpHpR">Sorcerer</a> -- they are among the primary American exponents of the internationally dispersed style of free-floating, downtempo, gently psychedelic electronic music known as Balearic or cosmic disco. After they each independently caught the attention of Norwegian scene leader <a href="spotify:artist:4rsEVNO1tGTY0beCnsnHi6">Prins Thomas</a>, he invited the duo to reissue its debut, Windsurf EP (originally a 2006 digital-only release on the Los Angeles label Sentrall), as one of the first offerings from his Internasjonal label in early 2008. Their full-length debut, Coastlines, appeared in November, completing a loose spiritual trilogy alongside <a href="spotify:artist:52dOB8NnVebX03xhmfpHpR">Sorcerer</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6AUMk9WLY52cBTArQhLTKu">Hatchback</a>'s respective debut albums, White Magic (2007) and Colors of the Sun (2008). ~ K.
