It’s fair to say that Adelaide’s synth master Luke Million had a massive 2015, touring throughout Australia, the UK and Europe, collaborating with an array of artists and seeing his single ‘Fear The Night’ featuring Jesse Davidson getting love nationally.

To follow all that he’s now returning with his brand new single ‘Archetype’ featuring Jeswon from Aussie hip hop crew Thundamentals. Luke told us a little about how the collar came about “I found myself at Studios 301 in a writing session with legends Jeswon, Trials and Chance Waters.

“We were vibing out working on some tracks together, we gelled really well and before we knew it we were channelling funk, hip hop and electronic music into this next level party jam. After a few months sitting on it I knew it had to see the light of day.

“I re-tracked the instrumental on nearly every bit of vintage gear I have in my studio and hit Jeswon of Thundamentals up to write and lay the final vocals down and he sure brought the goods.”

If that wasn’t enough Trials also from Adelaide hip hop crew Funkoars has taken the track and given it a whole new re-work with this his remix (which we’re premiering today).

Trials says about working with Luke “The way Luke touches synths makes me constantly question how much he sold his soul to Satan for and whether or not I can get the same deal with a referral. I co-produced a very early demo of ‘Archetype’ with Luke, Jeswon and Chance Waters in Sydney on a lazy hazy Friday till Luke took it home and polished our beautiful baby ready to be a full grown record released into the wild.

I also did two different remixes of the tune – this one’s full of thumping drums direct from the MPC and a rinsing of L. Millys dangerous keytar outro from the original, the other one is uhh, wavy. like me trying to fit in a bathtub wavy.. ENJOY !”
