CARPARK RECORDS

When Ryan DeRobertis announced the name change of his project from Saint Pepsi to Skylar Spence, there was no indication of any stylistic departure, though the change arrived with a musical shift toward faster tempos and more pristine production. Whereas Saint Pepsi had often used decades-old boogie, disco, and new wave as grist for the sampling mill, Skylar Spence is intent on trafficking more overtly in those genre aesthetics through his own production techniques and vocal contributions. With "Prom King," DeRobertis reoriented his music for his new full-band live act and wound up with an album full of tight and enveloping dance tunes. In the last decade, the album has taken on a life of its own. With over 42 million streams and a strong cult following, Carpark & Skylar Spence are excited to reissue "Prom King (10 year Anniversary Edition)," out September 19th.
