DJ, producer and Rex Club resident Molly presents the third EP for her RDV Music imprint, drawing on talent from across her native France, featuring fellow Parisian Aleqs Notal (Clek Clek Boom, Sistrum) and 1977, as featured on Syncrophone's For Those Who Know imprint. While each side and artist offer their own distinctive flavour, percussive, classy late-night house music is the main course; ideal for late nights under dim red lights.Aleqs Notal pays tribute to the timeless appeal of spinning analogue wax throughout opening track, ‘Sweet Rotation’; a simple hymn to the essence of house music, bubbling gently on bright keys and woozy basslines. ‘Hands On’ follows, offering a more nocturnal angle on this enduring aesthetic, reducing the energy but enhancing the atmosphere even further, both on-record and across any packed dancefloor.The more Southern sensibility of 1977 brings drumwork to the fore, weaving an exotic, patient tapestry of bubbling, alluring synths and analogue feedback across two confident, percussive jams. While ‘Vodoom’ indulges in tension and intrigue, EP closer 'Jdlf' is pure, unwinding pleasure, across which each of 1977’s influences and instruments are offered freedom to breathe and evolve.With this installment of emminently classy and supremely confident house, RDV Music continues to prove itself as one of the most worthy musical institutions on the contemporary Parisian scene.

Oakland's AYBEE will make his debut on Molly's newly launched RDV (Recit de Voyage) with the label's second release. The 'Nexus' EP follows the DJ/producer/filmmaker's 2016 LP 'The Odyssey' on his own Deepblak imprint and recent 12" 'The Motion Syntax' for London's DMK. Having established a reputation as one of electronic music's foremost innovative and versatile musicians - with a freeform, jazz-influenced approach to production that has lent itself equally to a prolific solo output under various guises and collaborations with Afrikan Sciences, Ron Trent and Jerome Sydneham - 'The Nexus' finds AYBEE again mining a deep & hypnotic house sound to maximum effect, employing the tribal drum patterns, hypnotic synths and signature grooves that helped establish the Deepblak sound. The trio of tracks make for a perfect follow-up to RDV's debut from Prophets of a New Generation, and fit beautifully within the trademark deep, subtle & groovy style of the Parisian DJ & Rex Club resident Molly, who herself is quickly establishing herself as a label owner with her own unique vision.
