Suncrawler: Paris: Relax: Mika: Take It Easy



Suncrawler reports from Paris that the latest track making the rounds in the Parisian discos is Mika's Relax. While we here at W4 HQ think Mika is nothing more than a cheap rip off of Queen this track somehow works. A fitting tune for this Bank Holiday / Memorial Day weekend.

Mr. Mass Takes Communion: Oronoco


We here at W4 aren't experts regarding rums (since we prefer our single malts and traditional martinis) but when our latest correspondent Mr. Mass kindly offered to send us a bottle of Oronoco we became connoisseurs on this premium Brazilian gift from the Amazon Gods. Distilled of fresh Brazilian mountain cane juice from the lush slopes of Fazenda Soledade, Oronoco contains flavors of subtle vanilla with hints of pineapple and coconut, like a cool breeze or a soft breast on a beautiful Carribean morning. The rest from south of the equator seem like soft drink residuals in comparison. Cocktail options are numerous although we personally like the Paulistano preparation or just consuming it straight from the bottle. The bottle design is perfectly reminiscent of our favorite scotches and we expect with the help of Mr. Mass it will be marketed much better on the global scale in the upcoming months. The producer, Bastos Ribeiros seems to be focused on becoming the new Lafite of the rum world and they encourage supporting local growers and sustainable farming practices which makes us want to get assed out on this stuff even more, guilt free that is. This is not a marketing ploy, just a call to drink some quality shit.

Saúde! Happy Memorial Day Weekend.
