Brother Cleve is a consummate musician, record producer, mixologist, DJ—and The WAITIKI 7 have called upon him for all of those things at one time or another. He produced albums for W7’s previous quartet incarnation in 2005 and 2007. This time around, Cleve joined forces with us as production consultant, providing oversight for the mixing, mastering, and track sequencing stages of Adventures in Paradise.

In addition to sonic wizardry, Cleve also contributes the “Cactus Flower,” an original tiki cocktail recipe he devised for the 2008 Tales of the Cocktail event in New Orleans, LA.

Lounge fans may know Cleve as the keyboardist from the 90s exotica act Combustible Edison, or from his TV work as composer for HBO/Cinemax, the Discovery Channel, Universal Studios, and Hormel Foods.
