About Pinkowitz

With dance music roots that stem from a love for 2000s trance and techno, Texas-born Andrew Pinkowitz turns lifelong curiosity into creative opportunity by diving beyond the static noise of daily life into the deeper textures of organic house. Pinkowitz’s productions blend the ethereal and the melodic, creating dynamic dancefloor explorations of darkness and light. Digital life in the pandemic age brought about his first release, a collaboration with Mexico’s Ricardo Angeles released on Sound Avenue in 2022. That track, “Hidden Pathway,” was followed by entries on Amulanga, 3rd Avenue, The Purr, Anoka, Equilibrio, Be Adult, and Stellar Fountain. His work has received support from the likes of Hernán Cattáneo, Death on the Balcony, and Fernando Ferreyra.

Closer to home, Pinkowitz is a collaborative leader in the lush landscapes of Colorado’s rising melodic house scene as a member of the Sky Terrace Collective. On the decks of Denver’s Beacon, 1134 Broadway, and Bar Standard, he fashions discourse from downbeats, combining danceable favorites with uncommon treasures and samplings of works-in-development.

Pinkowitz’s affinity with audiences forms compass points in sonic journeys that have led to direct support for Wassu and support for Eduardo McGregor, and which guide his path toward innovation and evolution in the years to come.

About Barr Hill

Logo that reads, "Barr Hill"

Barr Hill’s mindful approach to distilling is influenced by Vermont’s working landscape and the four seasons that so strongly define their place. The fermentation process captures the natural variation of wild yeast. With custom built stills that reflect the “do-it-yourself” ethos, Barr Hill distillers skillfully select the heart of each batch. Raw honey is the distinguishing ingredient in each of their spirits, imparting a soft and subtle essence of wildflower nectars.

Barr Hill Gin is an ode to the hardworking bees of the Northeast. The juniper-forward botanicals are brought to a perfect balance by the floral depth of the raw honey. The results are distinctive and unparalleled.

Barr Hill Gin is distilled once in custom-built botanical extraction still with hand-crushed, organic juniper, and then finished with raw honey from the region. The raw honey contributes botanical depth from the countless wildflowers foraged by the bees. How does Barr Hill extract such complexity from simple raw materials? The secrets are kept in the hive.
