Frankee has stood as one of the most hotly tipped producers on
Ram’s roster, catapulting himself onto the scene with aggressive and
divisive dancefloor slayers. However, having two decades within the
game already notched on his musical bed post, the producer has
cemented himself within the genre’s trophy cabinet. And he’s
returning after a brief hiatus with two brand new pieces of sonic
artwork to take you into Summer’s final months; a farewell to the
festival stages his anthems have been played from.
Receiving support from Ram’s head honcho Andy C, who’s
pedestalled his sound since it was first discovered by the revered
veteran, and radio tastemakers alike, Frankee has a firm history
behind him with previous releases. His next single ‘Clap Your Hands’
and ‘Love & Peace’ present two immensely different tracks which
epitomize why Frankee’s music has garnered such a backing, whilst
exposing the polar opposites of his sound. Whether you were looking
for the pounding, bassline driven layers of ‘Drop it Low’ or the more
ethereal, heart-felt vibe of his Loadstar ‘Away’ remix, this single
channels both sides of the coin.
Your first introduction to Frankee’s return is via ‘Clap Your Hands’,
once again platforming the sub-driven records he’s famed for.
Building up into a cascading drop whilst grinding LFO provides the
steps, it’s difficult not to be pulled in by its relentless beats and quick-
fire drum patterns. With metallic vocal samples adding
encouragement between each segment, Frankee is back and carrying
the weaponry which made him so dangerous behind the decks.
On the reverse, ‘Love and Peace’ adds another dimension, not only
proving Frankee’s production capabilities, but also a contrast in
musical attitudes. Natural yet still synthetic, it brings together
shaking percussion and female vocals in a way that curtails both the
light and dark shades of his skillset. A blissful liquid roller that
carries itself from start to finish, it features nostalgic breaks whilst
keeping a mechanical continuity.
This next output proves Frankee is back… And just like before, he’s
demonstrating why he’s become a quintessential part in people’s
libraries.
