With his artist album ‘Frequently Flying’, Sonny Fodera cemented his position as one of the most highly-rated producers on the planet. Singles like ‘You & I’ and ‘Caught Up’, featuring vocals from Janai and Yasmeen respectively, encapsulated Sonny’s maturing, song-led sound, whilst ‘Always Gonna Be’ has become a firm favourite even before its single release, racking up millions of streams and seeing fans singing Alex Mills’ vocals back to Sonny at his gigs worldwide. 

This Deluxe Edition will particularly please DJs, or indeed anyone who just can’t get enough of Sonny’s winning combination of catchy songs, infectious melodies and dancefloor heft, with almost every track from the album re-presented in extended form. House music royalty David Morales and Kings Of Tomorrow turn in typically classy remixes, along with energetic reworks from Sonny’s scene-leading contemporaries Low Steppa and Mat.Joe, whilst the appearance of two brand new tracks will delight fans clamouring for new material. On ‘Everything’, with assistance from vocalist Yasmeen, Sonny unleashes his trademark one-two of twinkling grooves and a hard-hitting bassline, whilst ‘No Chill’ is a cheeky, irresistibly bouncy tech-house cut. 

It’s time to buckle up once more, as the Deluxe Edition of ‘Frequently Flying’ prepares to take Sonny Fodera further and wider than ever before.

Sonny Fodera  'Feeling U' (feat. Yasmin)(David Morales Remix)

Simply an iconic track from Swiss brothers Mandrax and Seb K aka Shakedown, ‘At Night’ is one of the most recognisable house tracks of the last two decades. Stepping up to tackle this masterpiece with a sophisticated house remix with a nu-disco edge is Purple Disco Machine. Hot off the success of his debut album ‘Soulmatic’ in 2017, Tino Piontek fuses a funk-infused bassline with Terra Deva’s unforgettable vocals that give ‘At Night’ its resoundingly unique after-dark quality. Adding magic to this track seemed an impossible task, but one which the Disco Machine has risen to with ease, bringing the track neatly into 2018.

One half of iconic British duo Basement Jaxx Felix Buxton and vocalist Gia make their Defected debut with the soul-stirring ‘So Hooked On Your Lovin’, alongside two groove-loaded remixes by Mousse T.. The first ever release under their Selace pseudonym, the record comes laden with lingering organ chords and stunningly raw vocals, echoing the stripped back quality of Switch’s ‘I Still Love You’ and with a similar deep-reaching feel to Massive Attack’s early 90s classic ‘Unfinished Sympathy’. Production maestro Mousse T. works his magic with his funk-drenched Disco Shizzle mix loaded with a pumping bassline and guitar riffs alongside a deeper Dubby Shizzle version laced with a spoken word hook. Less is more with Selace; this is a minimalist yet undeniably stunning record that lets its captivating song do all the work.

Few artists strike the balance between the classic and contemporary quite as effortlessly as The Vision.
