Andy Ash arrives on Departure Lounge Records with When The Sunlight Comes, a new single/EP campaign from the label run by Brandon Pinel. The release brings together a tightly built set of house cuts that lean into melody, groove and a warm, late-summer feel, with the Bandcamp release serving as the public sales option for listeners who want to dig in further.


The title track sets the tone with soft-focus motifs, bright electronics and bubbly acid lines wrapping around a wide-eyed house groove. Elsewhere, “Sunrise Acid” brings a more yearning edge, while Flabaire’s remix stretches that mood into dreamy, acid-flecked electro territory. “Deep Edge” shifts into a Hammond-laced, mid-tempo shuffle, and “3 Feet East” pushes hardest into peak-time energy. It’s the kind of material that balances movement and reflection without losing its club weight.


Andy Ash’s release fits neatly within Departure Lounge’s broader approach, as Brandon Pinel has increasingly used the label to showcase like-minded producers alongside his own Ode to 97 output. Here, Ash’s writing is described through its balance of soft-focus melody and functional dancefloor pressure, with the record drawing on deep, warm, introspective and nostalgic moods. That combination gives the project a clear identity: expressive enough for headphone listening, but still built for systems and floors.



For listeners wanting to explore the music, the release is available via Bandcamp, and the premiere links below offer a closer listen to select cuts from the campaign. Those previews capture the record’s range well, from the richer low-end pulse of “Deep Edge” to the more airy and acid-touched side of “Sunrise Acid” and its remix treatment.
