4 Tracks OF Boogie / Nu Disco - Sundrenched Vibes with Great synth stabs, Daft Punk vocoder and a beefy Matt Hughes edit.
The mythical Liquid Pegasus returns - this time on Clandestine Boogie, firmly setting out his stall as one of the best around when it comes to modern synth boogie.
‘Makin It Hot' opens up proceedings, synth stabs and squelchy basslines a plenty, married with layers of intricate melodies and a vocoder transported straight from the 80's.
