Mystery surrounds London-based producer Maigret Jnr as he prepares to release his debut EP. What is clear however is that he’s announced his arrival with a flawless beginning that’ll motivate many to look further when it’s time for more.

With smart atmospheric beats, smooth synths and golden baritone vocals - echoing many of rock’s great starlets - ‘Always Again’ builds a colossal sound bigger than the sum of its parts. It’s early days for Maigret Jnr but if this level of intelligence, care and attention goes into each track, there will be much more to come.

Maigret Jnr’s debut EP ‘Sick Friends’ is due for release on 3rd September via the superb Make Mine Records (Disclosure, Tourist).
