Sun & Sound Detroit proudly announces its debut vinyl release - EASE set to drop Friday, April 17, 2026.
This isn’t a compilation—it’s a vinyl conversation between cities, generations, and musical bloodlines. This inaugural release embodies the spirit of collaboration, community, and cross-generational artistry that defines each artist’s deep musical legacy.
A statement on wax bringing together Glenn Underground, Coflo, Jon Dixon, Kevin Reynolds and sillygirlcarmen, this four-song project documents the shared language of five Artists through deep house, jazz roots, and forward-looking soul. Though these artists have shared DJ booths and dance floors around the world, this release marks a rare moment where their creative voices intertwine on wax. Each track stands on its own, but together they form a continuum—past, present, and future etched into wax. Pressed with intention and made for real systems, this release exists for the heads, the selectors, and anyone who still believes vinyl is where the story lives. Meant to be played—not archived. The kind of tracks that feel alive in the room and grow every time you hear them.
This record came together naturally—no agenda beyond putting real music on wax. Four tracks from artists who carry the Detroit and Chicago influence in their DNA, expressed through deep house, jazz, and forward-thinking sound. Glenn Underground represents a foundation that never cracked. Kevin Reynolds channels Detroit’s electronic lineage, merging soul, technology, and deep futurism. Coflo and Jon Dixon bring rhythm, musicianship, and culture into the present. sillygirlcarmen ties it all together, as a fresh voice pushing the sound forward without losing the thread.
Released on Sun & Sound Detroit in distribution partnership with Norm Talley’ Upstairs Asylum Detroit. Mastered by Brian Kage. Available April 2026 everywhere…
