Luke Million and Munan light up the night on ‘Smoke & Mirrors’
Australian producer Luke Million and South Korean artist Munan join forces on ‘Smoke & Mirrors,’ a cross-continental blend of retro disco and indie-pop, produced and mixed by Luke Million.
‘Smoke & Mirrors’ uses 80s-inspired synth and analog sounds. Luke Million brings vintage, polished grooves. Munan adds hazy guitars and ethereal vocals. Together, they balance retro and modern indie-pop, letting each style stand out. Luke Godson and Mun Hwan Lee co-wrote the single, which has a psychedelic, dancefloor-ready energy.
Luke Million shares:
“‘Smoke & Mirrors’ began as a fun 80s synth-infused bop where I channelled influences from Justice, Giorgio Moroder and even Billy Joel. When it was time to find a vocalist, I was drawn to the psychedelic, indie-pop sound of Munan. I wanted our two worlds to meld together, and when I received the first demo back from Munan, I knew we were on to something magical right away. His dreamy vocals and epic guitar melodies encapsulated a feeling of mystery and a feel-good vibe that took the instrumental to a whole new level. It was such a pleasure working with Munan. His passion and musicianship made this a dream collaboration, and Smoke & Mirrors is the result of this instant connection we made.”
Munan adds:
“‘Smoke & Mirrors’ is a song I worked on with Luke Million (aka “The Synth Lord”). Being an avid 80s disco lover, I was really excited to be part of something like this. Luke sent me the instrumental, and I got straight into writing the melody, then recorded fuzz guitars that acted and sounded like a synth lead. The phrase ‘Smoke & Mirrors’ came to mind immediately – the track had this mysterious energy that felt both nostalgic and surreal.”
‘Smoke & Mirrors’ stands as a collaborative release shaped by shared influences and analog-driven production, now available to stream worldwide.
