His lively take on familiar sounds has courted him both plenty of fans and interest from fellow artists, with Mystery Skulls’ debut album Forever featuring guest appearances from Brandy, Snowblood and, impressively, Nile Rodgers of Chic and “Get Lucky” fame.ĭubuc has been spending the year touring the album worldwide and is currently in the middle of a string of East Coast dates. Since the release of the project’s self-titled EP in 2011, Dubuc has been churning out reliably groovy pop songs tinged with an electrohouse edge and brought to life by his own R&B vocals. Mystery Skulls is the pseudonym of former The Secret Handshake artist Luis Dubuc. Those looking to keep the party going would do well to add Mystery Skulls to a playlist or two.

With excellent recent releases from Hot Chip, Passion Pit, Twin Shadow and Shamir, as well as the incredibly promising debut of Skylar Spence around the corner, the past year has been great for anyone looking to dance like it’s the 80s. Of late, synthpop fans have hardly been starved for good material.
