(2438) August 2024, long-serving French deep house hero Franck Roger dipped into the bulging back catalogue of the Real Tone imprint he co-founded in 2005 and came back with a quartet of his favourite productions. Here he presents a swift sequel showcasing four more tried-and-tested deep dancefloor workouts. Roger begins by highlighting the accurately titled 'Deeper', a gorgeously tactile and loved-up slab of early morning hypnotism, before offering up the killer combination of jazzy synth riffs, spine-tingling breakdowns and tactile deep house grooves that is 'Your My Wing' [sic]. Over on side B, 'I'm Waiting' is percussively dense but heady, dreamy and intoxicating, while 'Whispers' combines the soulfulness of New Jersey garage with the thickset, floor-focused deep house headiness that has always been a hallmark of Roger's spellbinding productions.
