The world is a scary place. Living life openly and freely only for it to break down your front door is a risk not everyone is willing to take. Indie folk artist, Ship & Sail, is willing to take that risk, and he’s already removed all of the locks. Colin Haggerty, the bearing soul lingering inside the body of Ship & Sail, has learned to leave his doors wide open for pain, peace, and everything in between to come and go as they please. He greets each encounter with a nod and then grabs his guitar to start writing. He’s not going to rebuild the door itself. He’s learned to appreciate the breeze. His songs are his protective barrier, each one like an imaginary brick, heavy and unbreakable.

The uncommonly close relationship with loss can be observed in each song written with masterful dexterity. Haggerty’s crooning vocals drift in and out with ease and vitality like breaths inhaling and exhaling. Ship & Sail devises a necessary tension in the room like a lung chamber collecting each gasp of air, cycling it up through the body for brief release, then pulling it back in. Haggerty holds his guitar like an extension of his heart. Each thrum gently weaves like a trickle of blood flowing delicately from an open wound, while chilling lyrics thicken each crimson drop, leaving it frozen and still. As each minute passes with Ship & sail behind the mic, he captures souls right out of their bodies. He collects them in his jar of truth where they feverishly burst before eventually settling at the bottom. 

Based in Ypsilanti, Michigan, Haggerty can be found writing something, anything down at all hours of the day- a habit that formed in 2012. His first band, Cass Benton, formed in 2017 and featured Haggerty on vocals and guitar. Two years later, what started as a songwriting exercise became Ship & Sail’s first EP, Even From A Dying Tree, The Worry Bird Sings (2018). Shortly after the release of this EP, Haggerty began writing From Seeds (2018) as a tribute to his late mother. The repeating line, “From seeds grow trees” in the title track, represents the certainty of growth and nourishment: The thought that something so small and bare, like a seed, blossoms into a towering, flourishing tree. While grieving of the loss of his mother, as apparent as it is in the music, Haggerty fixates on this idea of life, the loss only making it seem all the more precious and explorable. 

 Mixed and mastered by Doug Gallo (of the band Hodera) at AGL Sounds in New Jersey, From Seeds is, according to Haggerty, “the most important release I’ve ever had and has been a blast to play live.” Since the release of From Seeds, Ship & Sail has shared the stage with John Nolan (Taking Back Sunday, Straylight Run) and Breathe Owl Breathe and has performed as a four-piece, a soon to be six-piece, and will also be doing a three-piece acoustic-folk outfit. All while continuing to play solo. Drawing comparisons to Conor Oberst, Mount Eerie, and Jake Ewald of Slaughter Beach, Dog, Ship & Sail embodies a similar sense of vulnerability like an exposed vein peeking through the delicate soft tissue, revealing each story of his life like a nerve ending inflamed with authenticity.

Bursting on the scene in 2014 with his critically acclaimed Bantwanas Piano on Defected records, a record described by Dj Mag as a towering achievement in modern house music, South African legend Ryan Murgatroyd has continued in fine form with over 100 releases to his name, spanning labels as diverse as Get Physical, All Day I Dream, Purified, Still Vor talent, This never Happened and his own imprint Swoon Records. A musicians musician, he is a true student of the craft, and much of his work is truly transcendent of the cliches of 4/4 music.

Paving the way for countless electronic artists in South Africa, he pioneered a fusion of African and electronic elements long before the Afro House trend began, releasing the Ikalimba EP in 2015 to massive support from Solomon and countless others, and continuing to forge new sonic ground and help to place south african electronic music on the global map.

Sharing the boiler room stage with Black Coffee, Satori and Blondish in Amsterdam in 2018 he had a chance to showcase his unique sound, and incredible live performance, to the world, and from there the gates were open.

His 2019 smash hit Wicked Eyes was voted Record of the Summer in Ibiza that season, and was played on dance floors around the world but a list of heavy hitters and top 10 regulars.

His label Swoon Recordings continues to set the standard for underground electronic music parties, and top shelf releases with artists like Cioz, Atmos Blaq, Corpino and countless other local talents unearthed. While Murgatroyd took up residence in Mexico City in 2022, performing at some of CDMX’s biggest club nights and continuing to push new boundaries in the live performance, his best work is still to come.

Deep in a city renowned for its musical history, through walls of tall speakers and towering buildings a crew can found bathing in their mutual love of the sound system culture - either wobbling to subs in front of the stack or locked up in their lab... tweaking pots, hitting keys and conjuring sirens for all to hear.
