Spanish label Mate welcomes Rafa Santos and Franck Roger for a new deep house EP ‘Where Is The Clubbing?’.
It is Rafa Santos who serves up the originals starting with ‘Where Is The Clubbing?’ which has depth but also drive – rich pads swirl about over the supple kicks and clipped vocals bring the soulful little hooks. French maestro Franck Roger remixes with a little more swing and a stripped-back, late-night feel that is sprinkled with cosmic dust. On the flip, ‘Smooth Jazz’ is just that over cuddly beats as star-gazing piano tinkles and sombre sax notes bring real class. ‘Don’t Fool Me’ shuts down with plenty of Chez Damier-style weight in the kicks and steaminess in the female vocals.
The ‘Where Is The Clubbing?’ EP is out for pre order on MATE Records here.
