Leaning into old-school production warmth, Wellington’s Mike Fabulous nimbly mixes funk, rocksteady, downtempo, and Afrobeat as Lord Echo. His early breakout “Thinking of You” plays like vintage reggae with a trippy cosmic edge, while his multiple collabs with Māori Scottish singer Mara TK locate the buttery best in both artists. Even instrumental cuts such as “Things I Like to Do” sound primed for sampling in hip-hop and beyond.
