“From day one, Frappé has taken its inspiration from the French Touch artists of the 90s and 00s. In 2023 the label also produced EP’s from North American artists, with the likes of Demuir and James Juke. It’s only logical that collaborating with DJ Sneak was part of the plan, a true House Music legend who has inspired the 1st generation of French House Music artists and countless others. As always with the Parisian imprint, it’s also a matter of the heart”.  Basile De Suresnes and Ten Fingerz, Frappé Co-founders.

VINYL is available from Oct 20th 2023.  DIGITAL EP will be available from April 20th of 2024.

If you're looking for a slice of vinyl which will lift your spirit, fill your soul and put a smile on your face, then please introduce yourself to the latest EP from St. David, namely his "Essential Grooves EP", courtesy of the formidable Chiwax label. Written back in 2022, the four tracks here showcase the breezy dancefloor vibes that St. David brings, with all the cool Italian swagger you should expect from the Theory Of Swing main-man. 

So let's get into the EP; on the A-side we are greeted with “The Groove Goes On“, which is best described as “slinky“ House music at its finest. The bassline is one that the finest funk jam would be proud of, here it's layered with neat percussive elements and lively keys and synths, interwoven for a deeply enriching dancefloor experience. 

The A2 jam, “Summer Nights Fall“, also has an extremely tidy bassline, this time a more 80s-sounding affair, and as with the A1, the warmth floods out of the speakers, with delayed keys and little riffs coming in and out of the groove, percussive knocks panning to add space and a xylophone-esque riff as the track motors along. Both tracks on the A-side are winners, oozing class and depth, these could (and should) be dancefloor staples for all House-heads this summer. 

Flipping the wax over and things head into Fred P/Zepherin Saint territory on "Tech-no Peace“. Off-beat percussion gives a marching style to the rhythm, while the floating spaced-out synths are held together with a wriggling acid line, low-resonating pads also weaving their magic. The Acid line opens and closes, giving way to panned delayed FX, working back up to a superb break, after which it's all-systems-go. This is a truly excellent piece of pure-dancefloor-driven music and worth the price of purchase alone. Bravo!! 

To close the EP, the vibe slips back to that of the A-side, with a gentler, live-keys led groover, namely "Touch Of Jazz“, featuring the silky playing of WB. The bassline here is set back into the track, allowing the flow and rhythm of the keys to be the main focus which, as with the A-side cuts, gives the track a gorgeous vibe, leaving you feeling uplifted and buzzing once the vinyl has reached its closing runout crackles. 

This is, without doubt, a wonderful and timeless 12", one which any half decent DJ or House music fan simply must check out and add to their collection.

For the third release on Astropical Tapes, the Polish label have invited various artists to contribute to the ‘Interstellar Funk’ EP. Among them are Marcin Krupa and Astro Buhloone, who contributed the past two releases on the label, alongside a host of new talent. 

One of these new artists is Easy Audio, whose effort ‘Gypsy Funk’ we premiere today. ‘Gypsy Funk’ uses snatches of vocals and a 2-step drum pattern to create a vivacious sense of life within the track. This is supplemented by strummed guitars and whispering flutes that sound like they are lifted from old traveller’s folk music, perhaps explaining the song’s title.

Anthony Fade's made a few stand-out appearances on FH over the past year-or-so with a bunch of stellar offerings on a handful esteemed outlets such as Nerang, Dansu Discs, Shall Not Fade and sister imprint, Lost Palms. He returns this time on fellow tastemaker Sloth Boogie's new(ish) record arm with four club destined pumpers, crafted for the dancefloor.

'M1 Cause Everyone's Gotta Have Fun' is bursting with 90's euphoria,  something we haven’t as of yet seen emanate from Anthony's artillery - but damn he does it well. Still embodying the hallmark Fade fuzz n' crackle, Anthony achieves a nostalgic club experience as well as a contemporary one. A real 3am energy raising jam, contributing towards yet another excellent release.

French dusty house maestro G2S is back on the scene after his never-getting-old EP 'Check Dat Hiss' and a couple of classy collaborations on his own imprint In Any Case Records last year. But, we've got some sad news to share with you - speaking to Theo recently, he admitted that 'Bounce' may be his last track of this kind. Whilst his passions still very much lie with funky, head-nodding vibes, he's taking a bit of time to drift away from his usual house beats to focus on something a little bit different. Having immersed himself in mainly Jazz-Funk and Fusion records of late, I'm sure whatever that something is, it'll be special.

If this is to be his last track with his trademark house feel, then highly regarded French label S3A is surely the ideal home for it. G2S has perfected the art of sampling and this one, part of a 4 track offering alongside Felipe Gordon, Sweely and S3A himself, makes no exceptions. A heavy kick is spread thick with Rhodes, sprinkled with sax and punctuated by a mean, bouncing bass line. A real classy production.  

We are as excited by what could come next from Theo as we are sad that this may be the last we hear of his dulcet, dusty tones. Watch this space!

The @apparel-wax serves up some tasty disco-fied treats and their 5th release has another few gems on it. This emotive '80s boogie/soul cut-up oozes funk from its slinkly bassline with yearning vocals and luscious strings abounding.
