'Pan Am Into Philly' isn't really typical Fluke - it's slightly more experimental and jazzy than their more recent stuff. I hated the track on first listening, but now I love it. I suppose you'd describe most of Fluke's music as progressive house, before that tag got stuck with the tedious for-the-dancefloor-only dub house stuff. Strong on melodies, lots of layers of pulsing synths, occasion Beloved-style vocals, not too bass heavy.
