Mike Perry is Paces, a guy on the DJ watchlist. Mixing influences from Jersey Club, Future Beats and Garage, Paces released his debut EP, The Pact, last year. He released the EP on Kastles’ US label Symbols, being their first Australian release. At the beginning of the year he followed it up with Julian. The EP featured the vocal talents of Erin Marshall on the title track. It also found its share of love, with triple j, London’s XFM and New Zealand’s George FM all giving the EP a working. “I played a show with this fella a few months back, he was playing as I walked in and I still remember the vibe he had going, it was something else – everyone was going off! His originals are awesome, with a massive catalogue to back him up.” – Yahtzel. Wherever, Bendigo – June 27.
