Prom King

Saint Pepsi · as Skylar Spence

Why it matters

Released 18 September 2015 on Carpark Records, and the record where the sampling stops being the method. Where Saint Pepsi used decades-old boogie, disco and new wave as grist for the sampling mill, Skylar Spence works overtly in those aesthetics through his own production and vocals. He took the new name after copyright trouble over the old one; the album is what the new name was for.
