From finely chopped soul vocal hooks to early Chicago-style bass textures, this release features timeless sounds backed by the history of deep house! FRANCK ROGER, a veteran house producer who has been a pillar of the French scene since the early 2000s, has released a new EP. The deep chord progressions—soft yet poignantly evocative—are exquisite; a truly excellent release.
FRANCK ROGER—known for his house project SUN ORCHESTRA on the 〈STRAIGHT-UP〉 label, who has remained at the forefront of the scene since his debut and has recently produced hits on labels such as 〈NU GROOVE〉 and 〈P.O.D.〉—continues his strong run of releases. “The Number Track” (sample 1) lulls you into a drowsy, hypnotic state with its finely layered, reverberating neon-colored chords and organ keyboard layers; “Fast Lane” (sample 3), where the keyboards and bass reveal strong influences from the early Chicago deep house scene, and “Don’t Make Me Wait” (sample 2), featuring a interplay of delicate pads and poignant soul vocal samples—he delivers a house sound that’s more nostalgic than ever.
