The nine-track album opens up with the infectious single ‘Hit ‘Em With The Boogie’.

The album transitions into the previously-released single ‘Sau Paulo’ next. The downtempo soothing single provides a funk-forward soundscape that transports the listener into a tropical paradise.

With a hint of experimental elements, ‘Bounce It’ is unlike any other track on the album. Next up is another lead single, ‘Better Mind’ with Raven Jane. Opening with an enchanting bassline, Raven Jane’s captivating vocals effortlessly grace the sonic landscape. ‘Better Mind’. The simple yet intricate production shines throughout the duration of the track with Raven Jane’s sultry vocals as the perfect finishing touch. The titular track, ‘Disco Nap’, leaves a lasting impression and brings the entire project to life. With heavy nu-disco influences fused with groovy downtempo instrumentals, the title track expresses the musical prowess of Luke The Knife. The eighth track ‘Head’s In The Sky’ is much like the title itself, with an atmospheric melody and disco vocal samples sprinkled throughout that engulf the audience from start to finish. Closing the album on a high note, the final track ‘Dawn Light Hits The Snow’ lends an intriguing melodic and progressive melody. Throughout the duration of his debut solo LP, Luke Miller’s artistry and creative expression shine with each track adding a unique component to the full Disco Nap project.

“When the lockdown hit I had my first long-term break from touring in many, many years. I took that opportunity to start writing original Luke the Knife tracks. At first I was planning on doing mainly disco and funk-influenced tracks. I recorded a full album-worth of those and thought I was done with the debut. I kept listening to these over and over and I felt like it didn’t represent the full vision I wanted for Luke the Knife. So I wrote 9 more tunes pushing into more sides of my sound - tech house, future funk, bass house, melodic techno. Then I picked the best from both groups to make “Disco Nap”. It’s a special pleasure to release my first solo album and bring these original Luke the Knife tracks to people’s ears.” - Luke Miller (Luke The Knife)

Adding an exciting body of work to his own repertoire, Luke The Knife’s debut album sets an exciting precedent of what’s to come with his solo alias. With years of experience already under his belt, his innate dexterity as a producer and musician is clearly defined in Disco Nap as he brings his independent project to life.

To commemorate the release of the album, Luke The Knife will be hosting a release party at Club Vinyl in Denver, CO on Saturday, June 19th, 2021. More information can be found at -- https://nightout.com/events/luke-the-knife-clubvinyl-rooftop/tickets.
