Pegasvs closes his vinyl trilogy with Transition

Pegasvs returns to Burnin Music this winter with Transition, a soulful deep-house excursion featuring legendary New Zealand multi-instrumentalist Nathan Haines on sax and flute. The final chapter in a vinyl trilogy that has quietly become one of 2025’s most personal and meticulously crafted stories in club music.

For an artist whose trajectory spans Paris bedroom turntables, London disco dens, artist management, and a decade-long pursuit of soulful club culture, this release feels like both culmination and release: a point where movement becomes meaning, where house music becomes autobiography.

A warm exhale for the dancefloor

The original mix of Transition is a six minute meditation built around glowing Rhodes chords, deep and unhurried grooves, and Haines’ unmistakable fluidity. His sax doesn’t dominate, it breathes through the track, weaving gently between Pegasvs’ warm keys and Rude Jude’s subtle mix work.

This is the kind of record selectors play when the room is ready to soften: that moment at 4 a.m. when lights dim, people reconnect, and the dancefloor sighs back into a steady pulse. Soulful house in its purest form - warm, melodic, emotionally present.

Tom Laroye on the flip: jazz-tech urgency and dancefloor grit

On the B-side, Laroye delivers a remix that pushes the original into a more hybrid, club-ready zone. His signature jazz-tech sensibility cracks the rhythm open into broken-beat fragments, tucks in deep stabs, and rides on crisp afro-leaning percussion.

Where the original floats, Laroye’s version steps confidently into the late night energy - elegant, complex, and built for dancers with their ears wide open.

The end of a trilogy and the start of something else

Transition completes the arc Pegasvs began earlier this year with his Burnin Music EP series. What started as a personal excavation tracing his own journey through house, disco, movement, cities, and self-reinvention now closes on a track explicitly about becoming.

Pegasvs’ story is woven into the music: leaving a dead-end Paris office job in the early 2000s, launching Burnin Music first as a DJ agency, then as a label; long nights DJing at the legendary Chiltern Firehouse after moving to London in 2014; deep dives into disco culture, The Loft, Paradise Garage, and the spirit of selectors who shaped emotional dancefloors.

You feel those roots here. Kerri Chandler’s warmth, Larry Heard’s introspective depth, Danilo Plessow’s precision and the more recent textural sensibilities of Space Ghost, Medlar, and Fritz Wentink. Not in imitation, but as lineage.

If the trilogy is a narrative, Transition is the chapter where the protagonist understands the journey wasn’t about arrival, but about movement itself.

With Transition, Burnin Music continues to carve its space as one of Europe’s essential outposts for soulful, story-driven club music. Pegasvs signs off this trilogy with a record that feels both intimate and universal: a warm, deep, beautifully played release that will resonate with dancers who listen closely.

Out on 12” vinyl and digital December 12, 2025.
