Departing from the themes of the rave/hardcore revival and cinematic interstellar travel, "Airglow Fires" sees him exploring a more considered and intimate sound alongside a rediscovered love of classic hip-hop, as he explains, "I love hip hop and house music when it's at its rawest - to me "Airglow Fires" has that kind of 90s basement vibe to it, where the lines between the two genres are kind blurred."

As a comeback single, "Airglow Fires" has certainly been worth the wait - arriving just in time to surely nestle its way into all discerning DJs' record boxes this summer - from the opening celestial melodies to the insistent processions of jazz inflected chords, dance around the crunchy proto house drums, that shuddering sub bass- it's obvious that this track has golden sunshine in its DNA.

On the flip, "Begin To Begin" explores similar territory to "Airglow Fires" but wears its charms in a more subdued, but no less infectious manner - a repeating hypnotic chord stab, draped with burbling synth melodies and yet more tough drums combine for a sumptuous and mesmeric listen - as the song says, "Am I dreaming? Am I awake?" - with music like this to soundtrack your dreams, who would want to wake up?
