Back to Fundamentals....This project should be the opportunity to get a more precise idea of how house music’s been perceived in France.

All the artists who appear on this project were asked to create a piece of music in which they would express their vision of early house music, thanks to their primal influences.

What’s very exciting about this concept is the wide range of people involved, quite illustrative of the impact on house music. From Martin Solveig to Dimitri from Paris, Julien Jabre, Dj Gregory, Dj Fudge, Frank Roger, Rocco, Torre, David Duriez, Llorca and many more…

BACK TO FUNDAMENTALS will give you a unique opportunity to know what those folks are really at. Let there be house !

After Dj Gregory, Julien Jabre, Franck Roger and Claude Monnet; Back To Fundamentals proudly presents an unexpected duo “Rumi & Solveig” for its fourth release “So Far Away”. 

The chart-buster Martin Solveig was glad when his roman friend and colleague Lorenzo Rumi called upon him to return to the roots of house music, starting from the early, glorious Chicago scenario and its immediate and infectious groove. “So Far Away” came to life, as an impulse with only 2 days of hectic studio session and a few liters of coffee (half a day spent to tune the lazy analog keys that we’re finally happy to hear). The guys worked on a stricltly old school basis, (original instrumental) then added a full vocal and new elements to bring the fine “charme “of today’s house, turning “so far away” in a contemporary composition rich of surprises and thrilling breaks.

The performance of Australian soul singer Rachel Claudio gives a touch of attitude with passionates and unforgettable vocals.

Definitely another epic stone in the B2F wall!
