{"product_id":"white-magic","title":"White Magic","description":"\u003cp\u003eA near-perfect record, \u003cem\u003eWhite Magic\u003c\/em\u003e was the lauded CD-only debut album by \u003cstrong\u003eSorcerer\u003c\/strong\u003e (Californian native Dan Judd, one half of Windsurf with Hatchback). Just in time for Spring\/Summer, we present the first ever vinyl issue, released as a deluxe double LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBack in summer 2007, this majestic set gently nestled itself into the Balearic soundtrack-to-summer slot for many, making him a household name for Cosmic Disco heads alongside the likes of Lindstrom, Metro Area, Todd Terje, Mudd, Studio and Quiet Village.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the intervening years, exceptional producers have created vibrant variations on the dreamy, dubby, melodic nu-disco theme. Happily, the emergence of such luminaries as Jex Opolis, Harvey Sutherland, Suzanne Kraft, Tornado Wallace et al has only served to make the master – \u003cstrong\u003eSorcerer\u003c\/strong\u003e - sound ever more brilliant and vital.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUtilising his array of guitars, drum machines, synths, and trusty MPC, the loved-up \u003cstrong\u003eSorcerer\u003c\/strong\u003e sound inspires halcyon memories of warm days, endless sunsets and pure youthful abandon. Influenced by surf, 80s dance pop, acid-R\u0026amp;B, space jazz, krautrock, disco, dub, and am radio gold, his music maps a tour through a uniquely Californian lifestyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYet when music so vividly captures a vibe and a feeling, it can make writing about it appear almost redundant. Instead, to glean the full colour of what your turntable will soon gratefully radiate, we prescribe the generous soundclips presented here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd, for a unique insight into the process behind the wonderful sounds conjured up, here's \u003cstrong\u003eSorcerer\u003c\/strong\u003e himself: \"\u003cem\u003eWhite Magic\u003c\/em\u003e is a reflection of personal freedom and discovery. Having been in bands for years, this was a chance to develop music that stood alone and for me to be in full control. I was living alone and worked on jams whenever I could. I was highly inspired by a new openness to music as a pure inspiration, not being part of any scene. I tapped into the mixes I was hearing coming out the UK where deejays were playing \"\u003cem\u003ecosmic\u003c\/em\u003e\" sounds that were so strangely familiar. I was picking up all kinds of $1 vinyl and throwing bits of it into my sampler almost randomly to see what would come out. In my mind, I was making music to be played at my friend's Broker\/Dealer Pop nights where they fused golden German techno sounds with the new disco emerging at the time. Also, I took vacations and reconnected with the Pacific Ocean where I spent so much time as a kid: it spilled out into the sounds. Lastly, I forged a partnership with Hatchback (Sam Grawe) who was working on music in the same way. I learned so much about arrangement and the colors of music. We began recording together as Windsurf and released our own stuff. It all seems like a small glorious moment in time, so I am so excited to keep the legacy alive and I continue to work on my music with these spirits inside of me.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLovingly remastered by the esteemed Simon Francis, cut reassuringly loud onto heavyweight double vinyl and presented in a deluxe gatefold jacket with freshly commissioned artwork throughout from original designer Rich Robinson, this limited edition of 500 copies is sure to fly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Be With Records","offers":[{"title":"LP | x2","offer_id":50436766302539,"sku":"1037787","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/white-magic","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
