Introducing.... Grapefruit Sound Lab!!
Introducing Robert Cotnoir, Shawn Muldoon, Andrew Deitch, and Philip Caporaso Jr. Together they are Grapefruit Sound Lab!
There is something about discovering new music, and there's something even more wonderful when other people discover it for themselves. We stumbled across Grapefruit Sound Lab back in 2013 when they held their record release party for their first album, 1031 during SpookyBear Weekend in Provincetown, MA. The guys of Grapefruit Sound Lab were there to promote their new disk, and they were warm, fun, and exuded talent. Their music was electrifying, refreshing, and adventurous. They lit up the Wave Video Bar with the sound of their Halloween-themed epic, and accompanying full-length video. It was pretty clear that these guys wanted you to dance, and they meant business.
At some point while the boys were working on their follow-up release, 21st Century Man, various Grapefruit Sound Lab dance remixes suddenly began popping up on DJ turntables across the east coast. Case and point, on a return trip to Provincetown in early 2015 for a weekend getaway, I was happily surprised to hear a remix to Horseman in the middle of a late night dance party. The Paramount Nightclub resident DJ, Chris Racine, mixed the song into his set flawlessly, and the guys just ate it up. It's so exciting to hear your favorite music out at the club, and with these guys I could have guessed that it was just a matter of time.
Anyhow, after many months of waiting, Grapefruit Sound Lab finally put out a collection of these remixes, called, Fruits of Sound (The Remixes), which arrived just in time for summer. Included in this set are two remixes for each of these great songs: Horseman, TrumpStomper, and Pazuzu. And as if this wasn't enough, when the Supreme Court ruling on Marriage Equality came through in June, Grapefruit Sound Lab wasted no time in giving us Love Is Love: the President's historic remarks on the occasion set to dance music, in only the way that these guys can give it to us.
Bottom line: Grapefruit Sound Lab are going places and they want to take you with them. Do check them out on Soundcloud, and if you like them, go out to iTunes and buy a few tracks to support them. Visit their website here.
