Info:

John Fritz makes a quick return with ‘French Touch #2’ – a continuation and conclusion of his heartfelt homage to the golden age of House. If Part One celebrated the genre’s glittering, filtered heart, Part Two digs deeper, exploring the grooves, grit and swing that defined a generation of French producers who had that special ‘touch’.
Opening track ‘Speak Easy’ sets the tone: stripped-down, looping and raw, it’s classic Robsoul material, full of that US-influenced bump, but refined with a distinctly European flair. Next up, ‘Filtre Er Funky’ turns the energy up a notch with a buzzing, ghetto-tinged rhythm and John’s signature filter play. “I love how filter-effects shape loops,” he says. “This one was recorded live, jamming the filters, tweaking the kick pitch in real time. It’s like a mosquito dancing in the air.”
‘Tech House’ serves as a nostalgic nod to John’s formative years on the dancefloor. Nights spent at Paris’s iconic Rex Club, lost in Phil Weeks’ Get Underground sessions with Didier Allyne on warm-up duties. Deep, hypnotic, and driving, it’s a love letter to that mid-2000s groove pioneered by David Duriez and the Robsoul faithful.
Closing things out, ‘Boom Boom Jack’ is the project’s exclamation mark, a must-have DJ tool built on modular synth basses, tight conga loops, and clever filtering. “I designed this jam to be timeless,” says John. “Suitable for any moment in a DJ set.”
A fitting finale to a project steeped in passion, precision and Parisian soul.
