Dan Ghenacia's influence on the European underground over the last 25-plus years cannot be overstated. He has run vital labels, hosted essential parties, laid down definitive DJ sets, and produced seminal sounds solo and as part of the tastemaking Apollonia trio with friends Shonky and Dyed Soundorom. His understanding of house music across the ages and continents is second to none, and he brings all that experience to this fantastic new solo EP.

The bumpy and infectious "Rouge Ou Noir" opens with looped and funky guitar riffs and neon synths winding their way through dusty, dynamic drums. Cooing vocal stabs ramp up the steaminess of this most tasteful party starter. The superb "Chilly" has a bustling blend of louche rhythms and rugged synth arps that dart about the mix. They hurry beneath swirling vocal sounds up top with hints of Metro Area magic and tripped-out colors, making it a characterful groove. Last but not least, "Chilly" gets dubbed out and becomes a more low-slung sound with a fleshy bassline popping up the choppy, playful, and synth-infused rhythm.
