Having enjoyed the honour of launching the label last summer with the highly acclaimed ‘Firethorn’ and ‘Pandorum’, Frankee’s doubled his dynamite with no less than four dancefloor-focussed slices of absolute bass gold.
Showcasing his creative range with depth and clarity, every element on this EP is coated in a robust sense of timeless drum & bass magic and melody: Nodding at the scene’s rich past, while pushing us as far into the future as possible, each cut will quickly find its way to the very top of your playlist.
We launch with ‘Harlequin’, a purring roller that’s devilishly simple but demonically effective. A groaning bassline and tubular subs vie for your attention as the steppy riddim drills the message home with such razor-sharp punctuation, each additional percussive element that’s added as the track develops causes major chaos.
Next-up ‘Paranormal’. An instant hair-raiser, the quintessential pitched down pianos conjure up 25 years of rave heritage in one simple reverberated strike. Then, before nostalgia kicks in too much, in fires a scorching bassline that grizzles and kicks its way through the mix with uncompromising menace. If you thought the low-end growls of Frankee’s previous release were stuff of legend, just wait until you hear this bass behemoth!
‘Saffron’ follows. Oozing low-end luxury and a swift, skippy riddim, it’s an instant groove massage laced with floating vocal textures and emotive, ethereal pads. An instant hypnotiser, it instantly flies your floor to places they didn’t even know existed. Paying respect to the expensive, aromatic delicacies of its namesake, ‘Saffron’ more than lives up to its name.
Finally we hit ‘Flintstone’. Concluding this epic tale with a wry grin, it’s the perfect balance of deep, dark rollage and subtle humour. The overwhelmingly warm sub squiggles, icy pads and textured percussive dynamics make this track a must for all record boxes!
Seldom does an EP come with such a fitting title…Not just a bold statement of dancefloor intent, each of these four cuts mark a quintessential turning point in Frankee’s promising career. From young hopeful to bona fide hot prospect, Frankee has firmed up a front row seat in D&B’s future.
Stick with the Program for more future instalments very soon…

Turning Point EP

Harlequin

Paranormal

Saffron

Graduating from his ProgRAM label debut and a pivotal secondary release on the same label, Ram Records artist Frankee deservedly earns an exclusive spot on the acclaimed label with his latest offering “Black Heart/Wonderland.”

A tune that’s been making the rounds and doing damage all over the globe thanks to label head Andy C, “Black Heart” opens with throaty synths and jabbing drums that build-up in anticipation to a crisp crash of reverberated white noise and vocal hymns.

A serrated-like bassline follows, sawing along as the vocal sample continues to echo and increase in pitch while the bassline speeds up in oscillation and cleverly dissipates, building an immense amount of tension. Upon the drop, Frankee unravels a clean roller that bounces and stabs along in addition to croaking bass stabs, lashing drums, and haunting vocal whispers that build back into the original sample as the song progresses.

Black Heart / Wonderland

Black Heart

The B-side “Wonderland” decides to flip the darker vibes of “Black Heart” in favour for a more euphoric feel. House-like pianos and synths combine with whale cry samples and a powerful lead vocal that all just come together so…wonderfully.

As the synths float along and the underlying bassline continuously builds, a clean think-break sample in combination with a captivating piano-line take the lead and build upwards to a nice jungle-infused bassline. “Wonderland” is a laidback and funkier track in comparison to the lead single, but by no means lacks energy or depth. The warm and wobbling bassline rolls smoothly while the vocal sample rises up from underneath and reverberates over the crisp and addictively clean Lyn Collins sampled drum-break.

An infamously quick-fire dj, as well as one of the most hotly tipped producers to date, Frankee is returning yet again with a single to further solidify his position. 

Whether it’s from a set played on the notorious Ibiza waterfront, or amongst a packed out, dimly lit stage in super club Fabric, you’ll instantly recognise these refined cuts premiered over the last six months. Detonating a hard lined crowd at Drum & Bass Arena’s Easter weekend, Power and Downtown are of two totally different flavours, yet still pull raw energy and emotion from dancefloors globally. 

Featuring the vocal talents of Simon Franks, ‘Downtown’ demonstrates an ability to tap into a hugely diverse range of capacities. Fading between carefully textured breaks, as well as a cleverly distorted bass, it spans a hugely intricate composition. Fluctuating note patterns perfectly underpin slowly elevated synths; cutting open and laying bear the producer’s depth. Working his more emotive soundscape ‘Downtown’ epitomises Frankee’s versatility and his multidimensional approach to music making.

On the flipside, a much darker standard is set. Winding up before clanking into a maze of snapping hi-hats, reverberating bass and barrages of driving drum loops ‘Power’ demonstrates the harder style of his production, as seen in previous tracks like ‘Snarl’ and ‘Excalibur’. Brooding, gritty and a perfect 4am grinder, the delivery of this next single presents two opposing tracks that help to exemplify Frankee’s vast discography.
