Available on: Memories 12”

Pangaea might not be as prolific as his peers Ramadanman and Untold, but when he releases a single he always seems to deliver. Last year’s ‘Router’ did the seemingly-impossible in sampling cheese God Michael McDonald and turning it into something as evocative as the best of Burial, and new single ‘Memories’ is on a similar tip: combining an over the top soul vocal with wraithlike garage.

But best of all it’s got that one note, the one that appears every four bars, sticks in your head and guarantees you’ll spend the rest of the track counting down to every occurrence of it. You’ll know what I mean if you’ve heard it. Note of the year? How fucking micro is that?
