It’s almost two years since Freak ‘n Chic main man Dan Ghenacia delivered any of his trademark undulating house for the label so it’s pleasing to see “Eightball Deluxe” where he teams up with Freak n’Chic new talent, Djebali.
Ghenacia has little to prove in the house music arena, having carved out a career as true leader in house music, but relative newcomer Djebali has set his bar pretty high too, with his two releases marked as standout output for both Freak n’Chic #36 and Jay Haze’s Tuning Spork #36.
With ‘Eightball’, the duo deliver an electro-break fuelled slice of deep house which, for all of its retro stylings, sounds 100% fresh. Filtered and phased chords swirl around the mix creating a blanket of warmth while frantic high hats push the track at pace and, combined, these two elements manage to keep the track deep yet provide more than enough drive for peak time moments.
‘Now You Need’ is an altogether darker affair, with jarring percussive effects and a staccato bassline welded to a clinical drum track to create an austere yet infectiously rolling groove.
An old school and raw ethic runs throughout this two tracker, which is yet another unmissable release from Freak ‘n Chic, as well as a welcome return from two of it’s finest artists.
