By: Caryn Robbins Nov. 18, 2016
Sewn deep into the DNA of Hourglass-the debut album from MAKO (Alex Seaver and Logan Light) due out December 9 on Ultra Music--lies a distinct hybrid musicality layered with their diverse backgrounds and unique interests stepping forward to present a new, consolidated sound. Dig into "Let Go Of The Wheel" today, Novemb er 18 where a serene guitar-and-piano combo pair beautifully with Seaver's love-hued lyrics which explode as he sings of simpler times and future days.

"Let Go Of The Wheel" sits alongside other highlights such as: "Wish You Back" featuring Kwesi; "Smoke Filled Room," MAKO's breakthrough single which soared into pop and dance radio airplay charts via continuous support on SiriusXM's BPM and iHeartRadio's Evolution channels and landed at #1 on the Dance Airplay chart; "North Dakota," a stunning and unique soulful ballad about finding solace outside of the big city; "Run for Your Life," which is three minutes of pop genius produced with the help of Norway's Rat City and features a guest vocal from Natalola; and "Craziest Day I Ever Had," a hilarious tale of misadventure in Los Angeles.
Around the release of the album, MAKO will perform their first-ever live shows with a trio of showcases at the Mercury Lounge in New York City December 6, Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco December 13 and Resident in Los Angeles December 14.

About MAKO: In an era where unexpected ingredients thrive, MAKO (Logan Light and Alex Seaver)offers a truly unique experience. Before an introduction was made, the two budding artists spent their early life progressing musically in radically different worlds. Alex attended The Juilliard School on full scholarship as musician and played with some of the world's elite classical artists in the most storied of venues. Meanwhile, Logan was quietly mastering the art of DJing and within only a few years, began opening for some of dance music's biggest international acts, including Tiesto and Avicii, and major appearances including Lollapalooza. The duo's first release "Beam" quickly circulated on blogs and YouTube, logging more than 5.7 million views to date. The track was featured on SiriusXM's Beta Test Tuesday which then prompted them to proclaim MAKO is "the next big thing." Since then, MAKO has found themselves in studio with some of dance music's top artists: Avicii, Steve Angello, Sander Van Doorn, R3hab, DubVision, Heather Bright, Le Castle Vania and many others.
