Detboi’s new track on Cheap Thrills ‘Sanctuary of Love’ is being promo’ed at the moment, which can mean only one thing… it’s getting a release soon! The words ‘kid’ and ‘christmas’ spring to mind as we’ve been eagerly awaiting the new EP since, well… since the last one came out!
We’ve already posted the video of the original mix of this track (produced by Detboi himself!), which blew us away with some stunning visual work, and happily there’s more of the same for this mix.

Detboi’s followup to “Curse of the Voodoo Drums pt1″ (yes you’ve got it, “Voodoo Drums pt2″) is all finished and ready to go… watch out for release on Cheap Thrills in the coming weeks.
Once again Dublin based Detboi delivers that little bit more with nine fresh tracks including collaborations with label mate Baxta and the up and coming Mista Men. Not content to pigeonhole himself in one musical genre, “Voodoo Drums pt2″ covers pretty much everything good about dance music, from deep house, dubstep and disco to tropical beats and beyond.
We just can’t get enough of the 90’s rave vibes going on in this number “Sanctuary of Love” ft Mista Men.
More previews + Voodoo Drums pt2 promo mix coming soon!
