Lo/Hi is the collaboration between Steve Rusch, a Grammy-nominated producer/engineer who once was chief engineer at Westlake Recording Studios, and singer-songwriter Mischa Mandel, longtime vocalist for the R&B outfit John Macy & the Heavy Hand who in 2013 released a solo full-length, “All I Know.” Rusch produced that, but as the onetime CalArts classmates went all in, the music took more of a beat-driven sensibility, and Lo/Hi was born.
