Mari brings us on a space funk and indie dance voyage, a fun and edgy kind of mix that could revive a graveyard. It goes retro and glossy, loading tracks from the likes of Mr. Ho and Donald Dust for echoey breakbeats, chiptune arcade synths, robotic vocoders and romantic vocals. It’s power-puffed nostalgia with a modern sheen, and it illustrates the archetypal vitality you can expect from a Mari set. All aboard. This is Mari.
