Review: FCL (the Belgian duo of Red D and San Soda) released their Cherry Pie EP on Kai Alce's NDATL label back in 2017 - one of the year's deep house highlights in our humble opinion. Now Alce returns the favour for We Play House, with his remixes for the Ghent based imprint. Here FCL serve up the sensual "The House Music Track" which once again features the amazing Lady Linn delivering some sweet vocals and Filip Vandebril nailing an awesome bassline on this absolute anthem. The Atlanta based Alce's rework goes deeper into late night - with helluva lot of soul to boot!
Review: Given the runaway success of their 2013 anthem "It's You" (licensed by Defected after vinyl copies began changing hands for huge sums online), hopes are naturally high for this belated follow-up from Red D and San Soda's FCL project. "Can We Try" is nowhere near as potent as its predecessor, but is still a decent effort; certainly, plenty of house DJs will enjoy the bright-eyed combination of bleep-heavy electronics, surging analogue bass and Lady Linn's breathy vocal. Deetron provides the obligatory remixes, going all saucer-eyed and Balearic with the help of some spine-tingling pianos. His Dub, which strips away Linn's vocal, is particularly potent.
Review: Belgian duo Red D and San Soda resurrect their stand out 2010 house throwback "Vocals For Everyone" with this revisit, complete with a huge new remix from Arto Mwambe. "Used To Be" shines immediately thanks to a mercifully un-effected vocal and a winning mix of soft stabs, hi pitch mod-wheel rocking squalls and deep 808 beats. Also included is the instrumental version of deep Detroit delight "Back" - with the full vocal version being kept back for FCL's debut album due out later in the year. However Frankfurt funk fiends Arto Mwambe step up with a gloriously vivid and ethno-imbued remix that uses reed leads and some gloriously dubby delays over everything to create a truly standout groove.
