This is the debut single of musclecars, a DJ / Producer duo consisting of two native New Yorkers, Brandon Weems and Craig Handfield. As musicians, they equally share an admiration for the art form. Their desire to blend genres and express their appreciation for music is focused around their community- the end goal is to bring people together. Through a regular stream of high quality mixes, they have begun to turn heads in underground circles.
In 2018 they launched ‘Coloring Lessons’, a party that was aimed to add value to their city’s nightlife culture. While the party and sound is not genre specific, it is heavily focused around house, disco, jazz, and soul, embracing the musical elements of their black and brown ancestors. The monthly party's intention is to bring New York City's dance music scene back to what it was during the golden era of NY nightlife. They aim to spread the music that has been influential to them, and share it with a younger generation of their peers.
To set the record straight,
Told you be mine,
Please don’t go
But you went away,
If you can’t be here,
Then you can’t be,
Baby please don’t go,
Stay right here with me,
Cause you’re all I need,
With and without you,
I still feel a connection,
What am I to do when there’s no answer,
Tears are running down,
Where are you now to catch me,
Going round and round, round and round and round,
but you can’t be,
Baby please don’t go,
Stay right here with me,
Cause you’re all I need,
Lost in the moment of time,
I rewind,
The cadence of distance is blind,
I will find,
A chandelier up in the room, I can’t escape your light,
Diamond pierces blue and green with shadows golden white,
More silver than the movie screen, Watchtower over night,
Broken glass of fantasies, with you a lose the fight
I can’t escape your light
Shadows golden white
Over night
Lose the fight
Can’t escape your light
Shadows golden white
Over night
Lose the fight

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
