Lucola Bang’s Favourite Tunes

New Zealand-born artist Lucola Bang, or Luke Benge quickly came to a lot of people’s attention due to his smooth, atmospheric disco vibes and all round good time guarantee whenever listening to him. He’s recently released his latest single Snakes and Ladders, which is a snapshot into his forthcoming EP, and it had us hooked from the first few seconds. We can’t wait to hear what is still to come!
