To celebrate the release of his latest song Heard It On The Radio's new retro disco-inspired video, producer Luke Million has dug deep to outline his favourite party drink/party song combos exclusively for Cool Accidents.
As we've come to know from Luke, Heard It On The Radio harkens back to the synth sounds of the '80s - if it sounds like it could sit on the Stranger Things soundtrack, remember when Luke went viral for recreating the show's famous intro theme?
He explains, "The track was born in Touch Sensitive's studio. We had been jamming on a disco tip for an hour and then decided to drop the bpm and head into the synth wave realm. We picked a random patch on a DX7 and the moment I touched the keyboard and the sound came out, the mood was set. We connected with the textures of an 80’s soundscape courtesy of the DX7 being joined with an M1 and the Arturia Fairlight emulation. We new we had something special but the track sat on a hard drive and would not be rediscovered to almost a year later."
He's currently on tour around the country until September 21st, but not only does Luke know his synths, he knows his cocktails so behold - here's what your next drink should be soundtracked with.
Espresso Martini x Sade's Smooth Operator
Nothing beats a cracking Espresso Martini. When I first tried one, I couldn’t believe what I had been missing out on. Smooth Operator is the perfect pairing as it just oozes refined class and sophistication.
Aperol Spritz x Air's La Femme D’argent
The perfect combination to enjoy whilst relaxing on the beach on an island in the south of France. I was doing exactly this one year ago in Corsica and plan to do it lot's more.
whiskey on the rocks x The Doors' Alabama Song
“Well, show me the way to the next whiskey bar, oh don’t ask why”… Without a doubt, the ultimate song to pair with whiskey no questions asked.
Black Cow x Steely Dan's Black Cow
What more perfect pairing than a song that is about this drink? Can’t say I ever have tried this combo of Kahlua and Coke, but when I finally do, I will be listening to Steely Dan.
Manhattan x Frank Sinatra's New York, New York
Classic cocktail from the city that never sleeps. Can’t imagine drinking anything else whilst listening to Swoonatra’s epic tale of the city.
