Daniel Hugh’s debut solo album, Now or Never, is available on limited edition tape cassette featuring the full album on side A, and never before heard Instrumentals on side B.
Now or Never is a 1980s-inspired synth pop/new wave journey through a broad spectrum of human emotions and experiences. From love and loss, to regret and change, strap in for the ride! The Instrumentals, shows the album in a whole new light, featuring alternative versions and collaborations throughout. It places the 80s-inspired instrumentation at the centre of the listening experience and lets the music do the talking.

Is it heavy,
The burden you carry?
Do you find a way to make it through the day?
Do you wonder
When the music disappeared?
Did the beat inside your heart just fade away?
You used to shine
You used to sparkle
You used to move
Like the rhythm flowed directly through you
I'll connect you to a heartbeat
And we'll dance
And we'll dance
And we'll dance
I'll connect you to a heartbeat
And we'll dance
And we'll dance
And we'll dance
Can you hear it?
There's a song inside your head.
So listen to the soundtrack of your life.
You used to shine
You used to sparkle
You used to move
Like the rhythm flowed directly through you
I'll connect you to a heartbeat
And we'll dance
And we'll dance
And we'll dance
And we'll dance
And we'll dance
If you just give it a chance
Then world outside will start to fade away
And we'll dance
And we'll dance
If you just give this a chance
And the world outside will start to fade away
I'll connect you to a heartbeat
And we'll dance
And we'll dance
And we'll dance
I'll connect you to a heartbeat
And we'll dance
And we'll dance
And we'll dance
What can I say? Chaos Mesa is a perfectly dark synth pop masterpiece. Filled with melodies that are catchy as all hell, and stay with you long after the song ends and impeccable keyboard hooks and sound design. A must have for your indie electronic music collection. jonnyfallout
Lush & lovely compositions from this duo that blend dreamy electronics with floating melodies in songs that drift between pop & ambient. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 27, 2021
