D.KO Records主宰者Ralph Maruani=Flabaireによるフランス発ディープ・ハウスの成熟を刻んだEP。
Flabaireは長年にわたり活動を続けてきたフランスのDJ/プロデューサー。約10年にわたりD.KO Recordsを主宰し、クラブ・ミュージックの現場と制作の両面で確かな評価を築いてきた人物でもある。The BandやFleetwood Mac等の楽曲をも演奏できるマルチ・インストゥルメンタリストとしての背景も持ち、その音楽的素養はダンス・ミュージックの枠に収まらない。本作は、DJ SprinklesとHardrock Strikerが選曲した「Skylax House Explosion」への参加を経て、Skylaxへの本格的な帰還作となる。
収録曲はいずれもディープ・ハウスの本質に強く根ざした内容で、Black Jazz Consortium(Fred P)やMike Huckaby、Soul Capsuleといった系譜を想起させる静かな強度を備えている。派手な展開や即効性を狙う構成ではなく、同一の制作視点のもとで丁寧に組み上げられたトラックが連なり、EP全体として一貫した流れを生み出している。
A1「Echoes」は奥行きのあるサウンドがゆっくりと広がり、作品全体の方向性を明確に示す導入曲。A2「Eventually」は柔らかな質感と控えめなグルーヴが共存し、内省的でありながらフロアでも機能するバランスを保つ。B1「Lip Them」ではジャズ由来のリズム感が前に出て、音数を抑えた構成の中で深い没入感を生み出す。B2「La Haye」はアンビエント・ハウスの側面が強調され、浮遊感のある音像で静かに締めくくられる。
全曲が自然につながる構成は、ジャズ・アルバムの流れにも近く、タイトルやムードには内省的なロック作品を思わせる感触もある。クラブでのダンス、仲間との共有、じっくりとしたリスニングのいずれにも対応する、実直で芯のあるディープ・ハウス。流行や誇張から距離を取り、音楽そのものの説得力で勝負する一枚。

Flabaire, a seasoned French DJ and producer, has been a mainstay in the electronic music scene for years. As the head of the renowned D.KO Records for a decade and a multi-instrumentalist with the ability to play classics from The Band and Fleetwood Mac, Flabaire's artistry knows no bounds. We're thrilled to welcome him back to our label (his talent previously shone on the « Skylax House Explosion » compilation, curated by DJ Sprinkles and Hardrock Striker). With this latest release, we genuinely believe Flabaire has reached a new height of maturity in his production, delivering what we consider some of the finest deep house we've heard in years. This EP is steeped in the timeless essence of deep house, aligning with the legacy of Black Jazz Consortium (aka Fred P), the late, great Mike Huckaby, and the silky elegance of Soul Capsule. Every track feels meticulously crafted within the same creative framework, creating a cohesive listening experience that's as suited to at-home sessions as it is to the dancefloor. This isn't music designed for quick attention or fleeting trends—it's a powerful moment of deep house reclaiming its voice in a landscape crowded with Instagram “DJs” and shallow hype. The EP opens with A1.Echoes, an evocative track that draws listeners into its lush, immersive soundscape, immediately setting the tone for the record. A2.Eventually continues the journey, layered with smooth textures and a subtle groove that feels both intimate and expansive. On the flip side, B1.Lip Them explores deeper, jazz-infused rhythms, each note purposefully placed, creating a rich, hypnotic atmosphere. Finally, B2.La Haye rounds out the release, offering a dreamy, ambient house vibe that seems to float effortlessly—a testament to Flabaire's refined touch and sophisticated style. Each track flows seamlessly into the next, much like the movement of a jazz record, with even the titles evoking a Pink Floyd-esque sense of introspection. This is ambient house at its finest: real club music made for dancing, socializing, and deep listening. Beyond a simple EP, this record is a statement—a testament to the artistry and authenticity of true deep house.
