Peace! Love! Ecstasy! Unity! Respect!
Muscles, is modular records' one-man party machine. His sound built around keyboards and korg synths that sounds like he has just hit randomize purposely on his sequencer and seen what has come out. "Guns Babes Lemonade" is packed full of extraordinary catchy dance/party anthems, explosive vocal harmonies, rigid techno, lo-fi house & soft trance synths. Each track has its own unique elements but cocooned within the characteristic dirty synthesizer & very 80s keys resulting in a delicious mess that just might start your party or put a sharp end to it.

"His messy irritating voice annoys the F%#K out of me" is a common line between first time listeners but you gotta know hes one of those artists you love or you hate! The album rampages with a set of the most annoying vocals i have heard in a long time. The Muscles sound is overblown and genuinely luscious – epic softsynth lead lines, infinitely strong FM bass, kickin’ doof & his hoarse, multi-tracked voice offering party politics, heartfelt shout outs & designs for a brighter future. There’s a carefree falsetto ‘WOOo!’ in practically every song and rave stabs throughout!

DL: Muscles - Guns Babes Lemonade

It’s obvious Muscles gets a natural buzz from toying with his plug-ins, bettering his craft with every pitch-shift & beatmap. With a ‘huge’ moniker, huger aspirations & flexible software, there’s no reason why Muscles can’t get exactly what he wants. Obnoxious? YES, but already classic.

His voice is very Gavin Rossdale. Love this album, it's the happiest anyone has sounded on a record in years.
