SHORT INFO:
Freude am Tanzen is back for a very special occasion. In 2022, three Various Artists EPs will bereleased, celebrating the 24th anniversary of the label from Thuringia. Whilst occasions like this would normally be celebrated on the quarter century, this release makes sense not only on the mathematical level. 3 compilations with 4 tracks provide the half of 24.
The release however also makes sense in terms of history. Freude am Tanzen is showcasing a broad range of electronic music, never neglecting their history but also looking into the future.
Chapter 001, as the first of three, comes with four deep house tracks.
The A-Side comes with a focus on broken beats and versatile arrangements. Module One delivers a dreamy ride containing a stunning vocal sample. Rising Sun has provided a superb collection of samples that have emerged into a track, that’ll light up moods everywhere its played.
On the flip side in contrast, Chuck Boris has contributed the catchy house roller „Put A Mask On Your Face“. Soela rounds of the first edition off with a very emotional yet forward thinking production, making it a gem your record bag should not miss.

Marek Hemmann - Gemini 09:09
2024 repress
Tracklist:
A Inessa 08.08
written & produced by Marek Hemmann
B Gemini 09:09
written & produced by Marek Hemmann
The Hemmann lasagna is ready! With a healthy dose of ground beef and sun-ripened tomatoes between the sauce and layers of pasta with a peppy salad.
Once again Marek has two tracks with which he arms the planet richly, but also where the cooking spoon just explodes in the kitchen. The writer has quite a steam building upÖbut this music is just so filling, that the stomach just knows that there was a hole there.
To prepare for this first album from the Hemmann kitchen, two long sides strike a tone with a powerful punch, breathless grooves with a long puff and an empire of sounds for the endorphin thrust within and without the headphones. This isnít a construction, but rather a composition.
Exquisitely vibrating grooves with a hopping deepness, percussive elements together with a melodic party radiating in a finely sensed positivity. Itís as if you could together with Inessa and Gemini mutate into a bouncing ball. When his tracks begin to spin, that which happens to the listeners is the stuff dreams are made of.
A Inessa
A track like the remembrance of an energetic dream. The typically exhilarating Marek tribalism (without the tribal) cares for the ëhousyí elegance and hearty thumps for an enriching regarding the musical vocabulary of techno. Music for ass and hips, likewise for knees and shoulders and not to forget the calves and lumbar regions which just pulsate relentlessly.
B Gemini
A balance of driven sounds called from the crowd, and that exactly with a concentration and cunning confronted which one doesnít so soon let go of. Fully packed and tidy kept brings Hemmann to the fore with this solsticeish enterprise. Emotionality in the laptop space and leaving the machines croaking and singing. With an impactful and gentle interior, cheerfulness is probing just in case!

Info:
The first LP is always a reason to celebrate, and also grounds for elated expectation (for more, of course): and now, respect is in order because here is the double premier. The first LP from Marek Hemmann, the multifaceted electro-tinkerer near side of the Saale River, and as well the first CD-Long player from the house of FAT!
We know Marek Hemmann is solo as well as half of the congenial duo Hemmann & Kaden, who for years have been the pillars of the new house & techno scene, both as producer and live act. The complete releases are in the meantime around a dozen; the innumerable remix business for colleagues from Trentemøller to Monika Kruse can it be counted. After the most recent EP, the floor storming Gemini, it was clear that the time is now to get a load of the night fulfilling complete artwork. On to the in between.
What Mr. Hemmann offers here on technoid material, despite the stacked title, is but a small universe. Not quite a snack, but rather right in the middle we find ourselves standing in an eclectic house-world, which in every corner offers a new discovery. From classic deep-droning dub epos over the ëfrizzed-upí house with Bossa shots and demanding horn action up to highly complex sample tone-art. Yes, it is a long trip through techno-land; one in which Marek takes us along, and one which it must be said, is quite wonderful. In the best way. With a round of wholly comprehensive melancholy, it comes over us like a sunrise through the broken club doors after a completely danced-through night. That happens often enough, but for the swinging beauty and manually-labored final touch, flashes forth Mr. Hemmann’s golden hands, bringing back the hypnotic bass lines. The humming monotony lives, as does the subconscious when it says to us: Stay! Move your ass! And look, what beauteous northern melodies there on the horizon. Then the sun arises. Blazing through those same - broken club doors...
Thank you Mr. Hemmann! More

Tracklist:
A1 Intro

The new FAT comes off similar to a 12 step program without the raised index finger or narcotic dependence. The final report: intoxicating music is always better than madness by intoxication!
Fact is that this statement clears it all up – bellowing is redolence. It don’t stop with two intelligent digital rock waves. The one psycho with a proper nozzle in the veins, the other one purposefully en march on the tunnel opening to the hearts warmth! The ring of fire is presented in the House of the Wighnomy Brothers
Intro – Pele speaks:
We say YES to the new generation!
Track 1:
The British football legend George Best with the rest of the brew on the pitch - On goal regardless straight to the brain of everyone in the proximity of the dance floor! The just about typical Wignomy waterwheel, propelled through the waters with the 4 x 4 drive train, paired
with easy jazz sizzling, interspersed with a rocket from psychotic wellness for a tumble through the nightly orbit! This is pure moon music!
Track 2:
Breath a little sigh, charge it to the music. My blood needs from now on to create in the brain this new sound scape.
With driven strength the optimum of the heart is opened by a melody of the positive vibe needed to leisurely progress in the dark reality, in order to shine brighter! That is pure sunshine! Building dream machines to wake us up!

B2 Epinikkion 06:05
written & produced by Gabor Schablitzki
After a short summer hiatus the FAT dam is ready to reopen, returning the flow to the world. The sweltering July heat, broken limbs, Klinsmann fever, and full of Vodka accompanied by scantily clothed bridesÖshould come as no surprise, the typical Wighnomical diversity calls for that dash of personality. Rumblings filtering down from the crown down to the lower extremities, and not the other way around; in 20 years this will stand tall in the annals of techno.
Robag Wruhme – the producer of the duo has takes great pains plying his craft in order that club-music lovers can thoroughly savour the energy of the DJ-couplet (in separate beds of course) in sonic form. For the last 15 years the pair is seldom parted for long periods. Through a fondness for each other tempered with a subtle tension, a diligence accompanied by sweat became their trademark. Thus is ensured the proper balance between stability, advancement, and unpredictability. From such a union divorce is quite unlikely!
Epinikkion
The madness of the preceding summer billed as one account! With the heat and sun, and slippery from the warm raindrops, the dancers gallop over the rainbow. An ordered pause would perhaps drive everyone berserk; this number drives the rudders with a bodily compulsion that blasts away even the heaviest fetters.
Annopanno
Wordless
Gustav Wighnomy’s Okkasion re-(h)-and The green lunacy of next spring is will be envisaged. Especially since the winter is to be quite hard, the oven for the heart is trustworthily stocked.
A truly warm sigh out of the digital ether, for the positive, magically lucky moment is right here to find, ready to hear!
Here we have a remix with one of the most captivating melodic manuscripts of the dying year, full of feeling and expressed in the club. As if everyone could just fall luck blessed into someone’s arms in timelessness galore!
Hankkofloppe
The dark side of the Wihgnomy-Force. Darth Wruhme snatches his accomplice Jabba Maffia away to lure the last Jedi-dancer into the mysterious night. The best part: mystical and unstable energy can save lives and this is gonna be on the floor!
Best Wishes

After along with singer Fabian reichelt mimed the “erasure des clubwesens”, again the mr. hemmann appears alone with a healthy amount of frolicking around his favorite place – the studio.
For a long time he has belonged to those producers who tend to the opposite of the rather emotional-euphoria sound culture aflame in the clubs. The whispering under his breath “hey dancers, just wanted to say ‘Trance’ is back”, alternates constantly with “That’s what i’m telling you, the emotional quality must be placed in between the beats”.
Also here there is the melodiousness and let-us-laugh-while-dancing inside as in so many complete club nights. marek understands the further development of his signature and thereby, between the poles happiness and dreaminess switching ever back and forth; this is
taken to a new level.
The sparrows are already warbling from the rooftops – a new album out the pipeline. only as a small teaser-in-anticipation, this FaT release is not quite presented to the eyes. These three tracks massively blast the dance floors of the world. with the b2 piece “roundabout”, marek ventures into the breaks-dub-drum’n’bass-realm and injects it with a powerful dose of the hemmann medicine.
tracK information
a1 - infinity
it’s clear – it’s a hit! and what a hit it is! with “infinity” hemmann shoves the clouds to the side that this summer has so abundantly provided. rightly so, because the shorter days need more clear blue sky. above all our hearts need the sun. over the ear this functions wonderfully, especially with such songs.
B1 - You know
The laughter travels! a decently effective hopper for the club fiddlers sharing goodwill amongst each other is the program here. like with the best meals of the world, it’s the perfect ingredients mixed perfectly together that pleases your pallet best.
B2 - roundabout
The appetite on step together with rolling breaks and bass, has also infected marek hemmann. at first you might think ‘what like experimental drum’n’bass?!’ Then it morphs into an unbelievable shuffle-swing over the crackle of the beats and you find yourself overtaken, plunged into the heart of a techno set!

SHORT INFO:
Freude am Tanzen is back for a very special occasion. In 2022, three Various Artists EPs will be released, celebrating the 24th anniversary of the label from Thuringia. Whilst occasions like this would normally be celebrated on the quarter century, this release makes sense not only on the mathematical level. 3 compilations with 4 tracks provide the half of 24.
The release however also makes sense in terms of history. Freude am Tanzen is showcasing a broad range of electronic music, never neglecting their history but also looking into the future.
The last installment of the anniversary-compilation starts with the upcoming effgee reminiscing about something that’s most likely happened to everyone once or twice, packed into a classic yet fresh house track. Beautiful chords combined with a proper baseline. Sharing the A-Side with him is d.m.s., who’s production is settled somewhere between the urban and the jungle, incorporating elements of both worlds. Some groove to it, with vocals that stimulate to think!
The B-Side on this release focusses on variation. Lauer combines lush deep house vibes with some acid elements into his track ‚Janitors‘, while LoYoTo have opened their whole toolbox for their contribution. A wide array of samples and a meticious drum arrangement.
VITAL SALES POINTS:
effgee:
effgee is an up and coming producer and DJ from Hamburg, now living in Berlin. He has gained attention not only from Freude am Tanzen, but from renowned selectors all over the world with his own imprint felice. As there are already fresh releases cooking up in his studio, we are very happy that effgee is part of this compilation. Thank you!
d.m.s.:
The thuringian musician is no stranger to Freude am Tanzen. Formerly part of the duo Taron Trekka, Daniel Müller-Sachs has been concentrating on his solo-project in recent years, already contributing two EP’s alongside a compilation for the label. Apart from that, he is known for his outstanding deep DJ sets.
Lauer:
Philipp Lauer is no stranger to electronic music. Having been around since over 20 years, he is known for his solo productions and remixes as well as collaborations like Tuff City Kids and Arto Mwabe. Next to being a regular on Permanent Vacation, Running Back and LARJ, Lauer also runs his own label Brontosaurus. Having produced five solo albums already, Lauer is still hungry and creative. We like!
LoYoTo:
The Berlin-Duo has also been around since a minute. DJ Cle was part of the legendary Märtini Brös and one of the first residents at Planet and E-Werk, while Eva Be has made a name for herself since 1995, releasing on Pokerflat amongst others. LoYoTo have released EP’s on Upon.You, Watergate Records and Foul & Sunk. Nice to have them on Freude am Tanzen.

SHORT INFO:
Freude am Tanzen is back for a very special occasion. In 2022, three Various Artists EPs will be
released, celebrating the 24th anniversary of the label from Thuringia. Whilst occasions like this would
normally be celebrated on the quarter century, this release makes sense not only on the mathematical
level. 3 compilations with 4 tracks provide the half of 24.
The release however also makes sense in terms of history. Freude am Tanzen is showcasing a broad
range of electronic music, never neglecting their history but also looking into the future.
The second Edition of the Compilation features tracks from Caldera, Freund der Familie, Gathaspar
and Front Left. The A-Side focusses on Dub-House. Calderas Track ‚30 Friends‘ gets a smooth yet
groovy vibe across. Freund der Familie contributes a hypnotic production, which would suit well
incorporated in a warm up or on the home speakers.
The flip side goes deeper into the minimalistic region of electronic music. Gathaspar has produced a
trippy journey, featuring the vocals of Anna Partini. One for the morning hours on the dance floor.
Front Left praises the groove with his track ‚AM3N‘. Very playful and delicate and a lovely selection of
percussion. Do not miss!5. More

The third time is the charme...that’s right. Thus, the joy about the third album by Marek Hemmann is huge. Likewise, the third album is perceived as an important brand which ought to show the actual extent of a musician’s potential. Either hold one’s ground or dare something new? Marek Hemmann is not deterred by such expectations. He was merely in the mood for new tracks. The eight newcomers on “Moments” sound accordingly - easygoing, detached and characterised by the same profoundly and harmonically balanced musicality for which Marek Hemmann is world-renowned. Anyhow, a “just continue as before” mentality is not an option for the Berliner by choice - from the beginning, his music effort- lessly blurred the established genre lines. In this vein, his new work is influenced by a great candour. As already accomplished with his highly esteemed albums “In Between”and “Bittersweet”, in “Moments” Marek Hem- man takes the listeners - and certainly the dancers - on a journey through different spheres of contemporary electronic music. Nestled in “Helio” and “Bob” branches to significantly different moods are introduced from silent pauses to weightlessly lifting off to dancing around dreamily. Yet, within the many interwoven details, a noticeable sophistication can be picked out. Even more seamless and subtle, Marek Hemmann manages to unite euphoria and sweet melancholy, playful and sublime sounds, warmly shifting basses and sweeping synth-melodies. “Moments” provides moments of life and moments on the dancefloor with the fitting soundtrack. We are very happy about this.

Power. Mildness. roofs. The first album is always a challenge, when it is compared to the great releases. expectations – your own as well as those of others – must be met and a little innovation can't be missing. with the ep "all Those moments" maurycy zim- mermann alias mooryc has fascinated both critics and fans alike. gentle electronica meets up with melancholy and his voice reconciles the relentlessness of the straight tact with quixotic ballads. unforgettably he stamped his bittersweet song on ""krl", the strong firstling work of douglas greed. From that arose their collaborative project eating Snow, and in the words of douglas greed "a bipolar friendship" and the wonderfully beautiful downtempo track "Siamese Twins by choice" that appeared on bpitch control. There was also dapayk who recognized the qualities of mooryc and released quite recently the limited 10" "Simply" on his Fenou label. and now there is "roofs" the debut from mooryc. it is an or- ganic continuation of his work heretofore, that unites everything from then and takes it one step further. Thought-through and still from the depths of his heart is "roofs" which is structured as "all Those moments". This is without losing any of it's playfulness. mooryc experiments strongly with new rhythms, explores new tone worlds and adapts carefully for his own dance floor ideal – both imaginary and in reality. in all ten titles from "roofs" it is abundantly clear who is behind the signature and that is mooryc. he is reinforced by his haunting song. "To make music is for me like therapy. i can let things go things that occupy my thoughts" he said a little while ago in an interview for electronic beats. you can believe that from mooryc. including the lyrics from "Separate directions" his buddy greed wrote for mooryc, which means all the texts come from the same quill. with his voice he moves constantly between painful despondency, courageous expectation and a muscular courage. This album doesn't merely satisfy expectations – it is a gift for all the finely-tuned of the world.

what do you do when a live project exceeds its own ambitions? Just keep doing the wonderful concerts and eventually head to the studio. Sounds simple and conclusive. in the case of karocel, that was exactly how they went about it and surprisingly, all six band members made it happen. Though the four marbert rocels, mathias kaden and michael-mitchi- nagler have known each other from their hometown along the gera-Jena-erfurt corridor, and the karocel live shows have been well received: an album is an entirely different beast. you can add to that the full schedule of events and shows for everyone involved and the various songwriter habits of each. yet still, the wish to work together on a deeper level stood out front for everyone. The fun they had on the stage brought karocel the best idea since the carousel. That is, to take the live show and produce it in the studio without a concrete sound in the subconscious. in the fall of 2012 everyone got together in the studio of marbert rocel for three intense jam sessions. with a single click it all began – after a while everything was knotted together only to be woven through the mixer where it then lay. post-production vocals and overdubs weren't needed. The 10 pearls that emerged from those sessions glistened in its raw form that the direct multifaceted nature of a karocel event is now available in album format. in various dramatic curves 'plaited' prances over the dance-floor. right smack in the middle

Next year the iconic anthem Cafe Del Mar will celebrate its 30th anniversary, a landmark that will be celebrated with a series of brand new remixes alongside the finest existing remixes in specially remastered versions. Launching the series of vinyl releases in September is a remastered vinyl-only release of the original mix, as well as the best-known version of this classic track, the iconic Three ‘N One Remix.
Nearly 30 years ago, Paul M aka DJ Kid Paul recording as Energy 52 unleashed a record onto an unsuspecting public that would go on to define club culture for an entire generation of dance music enthusiasts. Named as an homage to the legendary Ibiza sunset spot, Café Del Mar broke down boundaries between the underground and the mainstream, charting in the UK singles charts on three separate occasions and named as the “best tune ever” by Mixmag at the start of the new millennium. In terms of cultural and emotional impact in dance music, it’s hard to find a record that comes close.
Café Del Mar has come to represent the most euphoric and hedonistic pleasures of dancefloors - in Ibiza and all around the world - and has been remixed by some of the biggest names in the industry. Now, 30 years after its original release, Superstition Records will be putting out a new series of releases, with brand new remixes as well as remastered versions of some of the many remixes from across the last three decades. The vinyl-only remastered version of the original and Three ‘N One mixes will launch the series, with further details about the rest of the series announced in the coming weeks.
In 2021 Paul Van Dyk’s Café Del Mar remixes launched a series of vinyl and digital re-issues on the Superstition Records imprint after an almost 20 years hiatus. From 1993 until 2003 Superstition Records was a groundbreaking Techno, Tech-House and Trance Label and released some of the biggest and most revered records of the early German electronic scene.

Original Tracks written and produced by Stefan Kozalla / Published by Kosikos Publishing
A1 - Vocals and lyrics by Sophia Kennedy
Release Info:
DJ Koze unveils a spiritual and surprising journey into rapturous spheres with Wespennest EP. The visionary artist and master of electronic sound, presents his first own release after 2018's global club hit "Pick Up".
"Candidasa" and "Wespennest" are the result of DJ Kozes inspiring stay in a secluded Benedictine monastery on the enchanting island of Sulawesi. Amidst this idyllic setting, he found the perfect environment to unleash his musical vision. He composed all of the music of "Candidasa" while lying on his stomach, in an act of deepest devotion and self-reflection. In doing so, he fed exclusively on so-called heroin kebabs to immerse himself in a trance-like state of creative flow. The result is a soundscape of unimagined depth and beauty that enchants the senses and transports listeners to another dimension by massively increasing the frequency of flicker fusion.
On "Wespennest” the wonderful Sophia Kennedy takes the stage and breathes a new dimension into the music with her impactful lyrics and vocals. With generous dedication, Sophia has provided exclusive excerpts of her yet unreleased songs, giving this track a radiant psychedelic power. The combination of DJ Kozes musical genius and Sophia Kennedy's glorious vocals creates a club track full of wonderment, opening up a mystical rapturous world for listeners. Already an instant classic of German dance music.
With "Candidasa" and "Wespennest" DJ Koze has once again pushed the boundaries of electronic sounds and created a spiritual journey that touches the soul and frees the mind. This EP is the first harbinger of his highly anticipated new album, which will be released in 2024. The time until the release can be wonderfully bridged with the magical album "Hit Parade", which DJ Koze has produced for the British legend Róisín Murphy and on which we can be carried away into the world of musical brilliance.

Release Info:
A heaven-made match is now complete with Gerry Read’s debut EP for Pampa Records. The British producer’s distinctively twisted, lo-fi sound, combined with Pampa’s deep-vein instinct for quality quirks, ushers in a new phase for two of house music’s most celebrated names.
The opening bars of “It’ll All Be Over” are immediately evocative, hinting at the patchwork style to come. Twangy banjo strings and a foot-stomp beat seem to herald a folksy arrangement, but that isn’t to be. Soft floaty pads rise up to form an unlikely partnership, softening sharp edges and adding sophisticated melodic expression. Once a compressed vocal sample is introduced, the entire structure reveals itself and begins to spin and loop in the style of iconic French house productions. Propelled further along by the endearing drama of flooded bass drum kicks, falsetto voices and xylophone pings, “It’ll All Be Over” is immediately memorable and expertly architectured.
Read’s second cut, “Satyricon,” is woven in the spirit of micro-house. Sharp waveform cuts, timely pauses, loops of noodling keys and hints of percussion shakers combine for a low-slung psychedelic effect. With the sunniness of a vintage folk-pop sample and sultry snatches of Spanish dialogue added atop a deep mid-tempo shuffle, Read secures his place alongside the Bradocks and Leclairs who came before him.
On the flipside, Pampa’s figurehead takes an expert turn at the controls of “It’ll All Be Over (DJ Koze remix).” The original’s jagged edges are buffed out, and shined up into a gleaming disco house anthem. With its artfully timed strumming breakdowns and cowbell accents, it is an appetising teaser of the forthcoming summer.

Label mainstays Fouk just dropped the perfect dancefloor Bomb with ‘Mirage’ paired with a high-octane Elisa Bee remix
We all know Dutch duo Fouk from their soulful, bouncy take on house music. They’re also responsible for some of Heist’s biggest tracks like Kill Frenzy or their Lil Louis inspired 2021 release ‘Blue Steel’. On their new EP, the talented duo shows us a fresh side of their sound: the main-room hands-in-the-air-going-wild side. To top things off, Italian producer Elisa Bee made time in her busy schedule of DJ’ing and releasing for artists like Ben Sims on his Hardgroove imprint and Unknown to the Unknown to deliver a killer remix of the title track.
Fouk’s return to Heist after 3 years is a welcome one and with ‘Mirage’, they might just have given us their biggest house track in their decade spanning career. The track is built around a stuttering synth loop and a seductive female vocal chanting ‘What made you wanna…” The real star here is the bassline, which propels the track into a seriously infectious groove. Add some lush strings and moody changeovers and you’ve got yourself a full-blown dancefloor weapon. Mirage has been a staple in Dam Swindle’s sets for the past months and has been one of their set highlights ever since.
“Coffee” is one for the classic Fouk fans. It’s got lovely Rhodes, a joyous combination of whoo’s, snare-rolls and synth hits grooving on top of an infectious orchestral background loop. “Tapioca” is a hybrid latin-electronic groove that builds on punchy synths, live percussion and drunk keys to balance the energy of the track.
Elisa Bee’s remix of ‘Mirage’ is an intense percussive workout that builds on a breakbeat loop and a rave-bassline. The tempo is turned up a notch or 2 and that stutter synth and vocal of the original make this remix a wild warehouse affair.
Closing track of the EP is ‘Abalone’; A lovely bleep-house affair that still has a bit of that warehouse vibe. It’s got the perfect amount of distortion the drums while keeping things dreamy with some face-melting pads throughout the track.
As always, enjoy the music and play it loud!

Hot Creations recruits Italian duo ItaloBros as the pair deliver three vibrant tracks across their latest EP, ‘Gosadera’ .Hailing from Scalea, Italy, ItaloBros have been riding the wave of success, captivating dancefloors worldwide at venues like Ushuaia Ibiza, Motion Bristol, and PM Open Air in Buenos Aires and boasting releases on Circus, Material and Knee Deep In Sound, amongst others.

Music that is suitable for dancing, especially electronic music
A type of music with a strong beat that people dance to in a nightclub
For all the theoretical posturing and hifalutin claims that accompany a lot of modern-day electronic music, it’s great to be reminded that dance music can simply – and beautifully – exist solely as a functional collection of sounds that gets people moving on the dancefloor. This is the unapologetic premise at the heart of Phillipi’s second solo EP, ‘Terra Gira’ on DEEWEE.
The lead track, ‘Hacido’ is a driving, peak-time banger that delightfully mixes old school acid house flavours a la Larry Heard and DJ Pierre with the modern squiggles beloved of Overmono. ‘Tensao’ is equally dynamic – a jackin’ metronomic groove blended with some suitably disorienting touches. ‘Todo Dia’ meanwhile has a classic – in both senses of the word – Derrick Carter, Chi-town vibe.

For all the theoretical posturing and hifalutin claims that accompany a lot of modern-day electronic music, it’s great to be reminded that dance music can simply – and beautifully – exist solely as a functional collection of sounds that gets people moving on the dancefloor. This is the unapologetic premise at the heart of Phillipi’s second solo EP, ‘Terra Gira’ on DEEWEE.
The lead track, ‘Hacido’ is a driving, peak-time banger that delightfully mixes old school acid house flavours a la Larry Heard and DJ Pierre with the modern squiggles beloved of Overmono. ‘Tensao’ is equally dynamic – a jackin’ metronomic groove blended with some suitably disorienting touches. ‘Todo Dia’ meanwhile has a classic – in both senses of the word – Derrick Carter, Chi-town vibe.

SHORT INFO:
More about the world has changed than not in the decade since dance production dyad Frank & Tony released their last full-length record, 2014’s You Go Girl. Despite, or perhaps in spite of, this shifting landscape, house music has managed to stay fundamentally reliable (either a bug or its greatest feature, depending on who you ask). Where previously, Frank & Tony have been celebrated for their contemplative, studious approach to the genre, with 2024’s Ethos, the Brooklyn/Biarritz-based duo return amidst metastatic cultural upheaval to prove out those scholarly credentials — with an album that serves to remind listeners why dancefloors and liberatory politics consistently share the language of movements and revolutions.
Undoubtedly, Ethos is tremendously influenced by the multitude of projects originating from, and supported by, the duo and their label in the decade since You Go Girl– releasing records from a vast diversity of artists (including Nadia Khan, Gry, Villete, Darand Land, Alex Albrecht, DJ Sprinkles and CCL), and Harris becoming curatorial voice of Brooklyn’s premiere venue for audiophiles, Public Records, where he continues to amplify work across a global diaspora (and where the duo maintain a residency of wide praise).
It is this bright energy and focus on the necessity of community and relationships that animates the aptly-titled Ethos. If past Frank & Tony releases have been lauded as ‘a coloring book in which someone has exclusively drawn inside the lines… with extreme precision,’ Ethos deviates by inviting friends in for a game of exquisite corpse. From singer and pianist Eliana Glass, whose androgynous, double-reeded voice freestyles across album opener Olympia, to distinct track features from fellow house masterminds DaRand Land, DJ Aakmael and Lawrence over half of the album’s nine tracks highlight artists in the larger Scissor & Thread circle.
