The esteemed Mr. Nick Chacona, he of Moodmusic, Hector Works, and 2020 Vision fame, makes his stunning solo debut on Wurst. We reckon “Slice of Life” is the man’s finest work to date, the culmination of the past decade’s worth of his most excellent musical output.

Swedish newcomers Name in Lights bring up the BPM on their remix, turning Nick’s sublime number into an all-out disco rock jam session. Roy had the pleasure of meeting these fine chaps while playing in Stockholm back in the Spring, and immediately fell in love with their music.
