Fred Falke makes an essential release
5 March, 2008 | 3.19PM- Section: Music News Topics: House Nation
Like his good friend and studio partner Alan Braxe, Fred Falke has risen through the ranks to become one of the pivotal masterminds in the Gallic house movement.
And if proof were needed, his ‘Music For My Friends EP’ on Work It Baby comes across like a breath of fresh air, pulling together a quartet of future classics (and a re-edit too) that really help define an era.
Built on simple melodies, warm throbbing basslines, disco and funk sampled riffs, it’s a simple formula, often imitated yet rarely equaled.
‘Love Theme’ could well become the theme tune to summer 2008; it’s a subtle instrumental with a killer bassline not unlike ‘Intro’ that he and Braxe delivered eight years ago.
There’s also the restrained jazz-inflected house instrumentation of ‘Last Wave’, the Daft Punk-ish bass heavy ‘Sanctuary’ and high bass compression on the rockin’ ‘909 PM At The Beach’ which has all the hallmarks of Cassius and Daft Punk in their youth.
Your collection needs this record - the must-have purchase of the day!
