Download: Pariah - Detroit Falls
I’d not heard of Pariah up until a few months back, but his first release I was aware of ‘Detroit Falls’ and ‘Orpheus’, is one of those 12’s you’ll just be going back to again and again.

The track is on quite a funky house sort of vibe but has a nice swing to it for sure. Watch out for Dj...
