Invincible

Makoto

Makoto returns with Invincible, a lush liquid roller featuring Lauren Archer’s stunning vocals. Out now on Liquicity Records, this one’s perfect for sets, streams, and deep listens alike.

Liquicity Records Released 8 January 2025

Makoto returns with Invincible, a track that embodies his signature warmth and liquid soul, this time elevated by the sublime vocals of Lauren Archer. Released on Liquicity Records, this one is built for both the dancefloor and those intimate, late-night listening sessions.

From the outset, Invincible drapes itself in lush atmospherics, with delicate pads and a crisp drumline laying the foundation. Makoto’s unmistakable touch is present in the rolling bass, subtle jazz-infused instrumentation, and perfectly timed vocal chops that create an effortless flow. Lauren Archer’s vocal performance is nothing short of mesmerising—soft yet commanding, carrying an emotional depth that lingers long after the track fades out.

What sets Invincible apart is Makoto’s mastery of groove and melody. The track moves with a fluidity that feels both uplifting and nostalgic, reminiscent of his classic productions while still sounding fresh for today’s liquid scene. The breakdown offers a moment of introspection before surging back into its hypnotic rhythm, making it an essential selection for DJs looking to inject some deep soul into their sets.

Whether you’re rinsing it in a set, vibing on a solo listen, or featuring it in a radio show, Invincible is a track that embodies everything we love about Makoto—refined, heartfelt, and effortlessly timeless. A Liquicity gem through and through.
