His sound incorporates vintage synths, Rhodes keyboards, guitars, real drums – whatever the 25-year-old multi-instrumentalist can lay his hands on. Echoes of Caribou and Toro Y Moi showcase his eclectic approach to production while elements of disco and seventies jazz funk creep onto tracks like Invitation. Elsewhere, his tracks Popup Cinema and Home & Consonance deftly meld old school house with Latin flavours.
