Info:

Ibiza-based producer John Fritz kicks off a shimmering new chapter on Robsoul with ‘French Touch #1’ – the first half of an eight-track, two-part love letter to the golden age of filtered House. It’s a project rooted in nostalgia but built for modern dancefloors: a tribute to the time when French producers in bucket hats and robot helmets changed club music forever.
“Some tracks are deeply rooted in the classic French Touch sound, while others reflect the diverse influences I’ve gathered over the years,” says John.
Opener ‘Ouh La La’ was born in lockdown after he got his hands on a legendary 3630 compressor. “I totally overcooked it,” he admits, but its rediscovery years later sparked something raw and sexy: pure underground heat, sans chichi.
‘Fédération Française du Filtre’ follows with a full-bodied ode to artists including Daft Punk, Cassius, and Étienne de Crécy – the heroes who first lit the fuse. Expect heavy filters, euphoric tension and a thumping kick made for basement dancefloors.
On ‘Another Funk’, Fritz channels his Ibiza energy into something darker. Hypnotic guitars, 909 rides, and that unmistakable Amador-style darker edge. Finally, ‘80’s Lover’ takes a left turn into minimal territory, blending clinical samples and after-hours vibes.

A perfectly formed homage and a knowing nod to a sound that shaped a generation, ‘French Touch #1’ is warm, playful, and timeless. A reminder that some grooves never fade.
