How Old-School Synth Works Best For Luke Million

Luke Million has had a big year, touring with Client Liaison and partying at Splendour In The Grass. Now, the electronic artist is dropping his latest EP Come Together inspired by old-school nostalgic sounds. "I draw inspiration from jamming, and then working these nostalgic sounds into the present time," illustrates Luke Godson, the mind behind the madness. "The EP overall is quite varied," Godson explains about the thematic nature of the release, "whether that be the anything-goes nature of Alive, or the dark, hypnotising journey of Return To Transylvania.

"I like to immerse myself in a vision, and then create a sound palette from my synths and drum machine to bring it to life," Godson enlightens. He then outlines how "capturing the moment of inspiration" is the "most honest and human" element of recording. He makes no secret of his love for vintage machines, recording the EP "with a studio full of analogue gear" despite the possibility of malfunctions, which happened. "I sent my Prophet-5 [synthesiser] off to get repaired and continued tracking other synths until I got it back."

Now, ahead of his Aussie national tour, Godson hints at some sneaky guest vocalists, as well as visual elements to tingle all the senses: "I have recently put together a new live show with all new gear and an awesome lighting experience. I tend to stay relatively true to the original tracks, but I also give them that extra bit live and throw in a few surprises."
