Premier: Eddie Witz Honours California and Supports No Res Gourmet With ‘In California’ Remix

February 28, 2025

California isn’t just a state. It’s a feeling, a dream, a memory woven into sunlit highways and the echoes of waves crashing against the golden beaches of the Pacific Coast. For Eddie Witz, it’s the foundation of his story. With the release of the remixed and remastered ‘In California,’—a project in support of the non-profit No Res Gourmet—Witz & The Most High have taken a song already thick with nostalgia and turned it into something even more touching—an elegy and a tribute, wrapped in melody.

THIS IS WHY YOU LOVE ME – Brian Jonestown Massacre Hypnotise A Packed Brixton Academy
