Chaleee & Yoliswa - Rise Up (unreleased)

There’s a moment at the very beginning of Frolojaz where the track seems unsure whether to reveal itself or remain in reflection. The rhythm stutters gently, as if sound were testing its own balance – not yet settled into groove, but circling it with curiosity.
Organic percussion – tactile, earthy, full of breath and hand – opens the space with a kind of living pulse. A soft yet weighted kick joins, not in insistence but in calm invitation. It doesn’t impose. It suggests.
Then come the strings – quartal, echo-drenched, gently disintegrating across vast imagined halls. They hover, not so much leading the track as dissolving into it. There is no urgency here. Just atmosphere, tone, and time – stretched.
Gradually, without fanfare, the structure coalesces. The four-on-the-floor returns, unobtrusive and patient. A vocal sample loops into earshot – filtered, cycling, shimmering. There’s a sense of French house here, but blurred at the edges. Less homage, more daydream. Labels like Kompakt, All Day I Dream, Sol Selectas or Do Not Sit On The Furniture might come to mind – aesthetics that favor tone over tempo, and repetition as revelation.
Then the tension shifts. A bassline sneaks in – playful, thick, warm. The groove fattens. Just before the break, the drums recede, as if stepping aside. The vocal remains, now fully exposed, soft-spoken yet commanding. A snare build begins – understated, but full of intention.
And when it returns, the track opens wide.
The second movement feels sunlit. Chords rise – smooth, cool, summery. The bass grows bolder, but never brash. This is house music, clearly – but refracted through warmth, ease, and texture. It's not about climax. It's about continuation. A horizon stretched out in rhythm.
Frolojaz doesn’t chase energy – it reveals it slowly. There’s a subtle lineage here, to labels like Lump Records, or Innervisions – imprints that understand dance music as architecture, as emotion in form. But Frolojaz keeps its own posture: steady, self-contained, and quietly generous.
It doesn’t demand to be heard. It waits – and for those who do, it rewards in depth, not volume.

The Space Between

The paper felt crisp in his hands. He had never been as wealthy in all of his days and now as the proud owner of a 100 Crown bill he would simply spend, spend, spend. He dreamt of living life to the full, luxuriously and extravagantly beyond his wildest dreams. He would buy the finest clothes, dine in the fanciest restaurants eating nothing but fresh strawberries and cream. He would drive fancy cars and live in a castle upon the hill. Nothing else would compete or compare. 

Parviz features as part of a new EP alongside Folamour. The pair are set to release on FHUO Records in the coming weeks, a record label which is run by French up and comer Folamour himself.

Cody Currie - Pool Of Red  (November)

Right place, right time. It's an old cliché, but it's one that's been the definition of Dennis Ferrer's musical career. Just as the dance music world was heading into the world of afro-centric house, Ferrer was there. And then, when it began to embrace the mix of tech and soul, Ferrer was there again, leading the way with his impeccable productions. As Ferrer goes, it seems, so does electronic music. And, as someone who's never content to do the same thing twice, it's clear that he'll be staying on top for years to come.

Ferrer burst back into the consciousness of most dance music heads with the release of "Sandcastles," (Ibadan) his collaboration with Jerome Sydenham in 2003. But, to his credit, Ferrer didn't simply repeat the formula afterwards. He has continued to push a variety of genres all at once. It's clear that Ferrer isn't content to rest on his laurels: he's too busy dreaming up new ways to shock and delight audiences.

In the mid-90’s, Ferrer was crafting techno records as Morph and then had success in the Afro and gospel house scenes with releases via his Sfere label, an imprint he began alongside Kerri Chandler. But it's this past work that gives his new productions such resonance: unlike many of this house peers, Ferrer's techno experience has given him an edge that you can hear in his recent work.

"Son of Raw," (Ibadan) "Church Lady," (Defected) "Underground Is My Home," (King Street Sounds), "Touched the Sky" (King Street Sounds), “Transitions” (King Street Sounds), “P 2 Da J” (Defected),  “Sinfonia Della Notte” (Strictly Rhythm), “Hey Hey” (Objektivity), “Red Room” (Objektivity), “Underground” Nick Curly – Dennis Ferrer Remix (Defected), to name a few, have all been huge dance floor anthems and all show a different side of the Ferrer personality as well as his impressive range as producer and remixer.

Ferrer has brought his ‘anything goes’ approach to his label, Objektivity.  Celebrating its 8th anniversary in 2014, the imprint has thus far focused itself on vocals, featuring often unlikely turns from indie heroes like Ane Brun and Télépopmusik. Low slung and deep, Objektivity is a cutting-edge label in touch with its time, putting a uniquely American spin on the deep house revival that is currently making waves in Europe. Objektivity is a living, breathing thing - one that's set to drop bombs on the dance floor for years to come.

While Ferrer closes out 2013 with “Mind Ur Step” (Defected), “Mind Ur Dub” (Objektivity) and a remix of Coyu - “Salvation” (Noir Music), the best is yet to come. With a deep knowledge of the past and a constant push for the future, Ferrer remains one of the true greats of house music - a leader and innovator whose enjoying the buzz around him but keeping on pushing the limits. Stay tuned.
