Forthcoming to Lazy Days Recordings is the absolutely phenomenal and ingenious "8 days" full length album by Atjazz (Martin Iveson) and Fred Everything (Frederic Blais). The project took shape during an eight day stay at Atjazz's home where they challenged themselves of writing one track per day, then over the next three years the material was carefully developed and subsequently finalized. Featuring an illustrious list of guest artists including vocalists Jorge Bezerra, Dominique Fils-Aime, Ernesto & The Basement Gospel and Clyde Beats as well as trumpeter Octavio N. Santos, "8 days" is a timeless masterpiece that draws on the spirit of 90's deep house while applying decades of experience to a deeply rooted, forward-thinking sound.
