Skylax welcome back Nicolas Aftalion with another powerful ep "Spirit of House II" after his sensational debut on the label, acclaimed by the queen of the genre Cinthie. Deeply inspired by the New Jersey house sound popularized by Tony Humphries, and the vibrant energy of the New York scene. This release embodies the essence of original house music, delivering an exhilarating and impactful experience. Following the success of "Spirit of House I", this sequel is a natural progression in Aftalion's musical journey. Prepare to be transported by the enchanting tracks within. "Cruise in Paradise" blends jazz and Spanish influences, reminiscent of the iconic moments on the album "Forever Changes" by the American band Love (as crazy as it sounds), fusing original house with free jazz in an improbable yet captivating manner. "A Message to Mad Mike" pays homage to the visionary DJ and producer of Underground Resistance, expressing profound admiration and love. This is a monumental record that encompasses everything contemporary electronic music has forgotten. "Paris Is Burning" serves as an ode to the voguing culture of the '90s, a celebration of queer expression and vitality. "Soulful in Paris" takes us back to the soulful and rhythmic sounds of Strictly Rhythm and the timeless energy of Ultra Naté. As a digital bonus, indulge in the excellence of "Baby Driver" and "Blaster." "Spirit of House II" is a masterpiece that captures the essence of house music's roots while embracing innovation and artistry. Prepare yourself for an extraordinary musical journey that showcases Nicolas Aftalion's profound understanding of the genre and his ability to create timeless and groundbreaking compositions.
In addition, on the label's bandcamp, with the purchase of the vinyl, you can get 2 exclusive unreleased bonus track.
"Skylax has never cared for trends of fads and has always dealt in classically inclined house music from artists old and new. The French imprint now looks to Nicolas Aftalion for the second volume of his Spirit of House EP. He captures just that expertly with the opener 'Cruise In Paradise' riding a nice mid-tempo groove with heartfelt vocal hooks. 'A Message To Mad Mike' ups the energy a little with more prominent pads and 'Paris Is Burning' taps into a sense and soulful groove with lush, lazy drums. 'Soulful In Paris' has a nice 90s feel the way the chords and drums sit with one another and is sure to bring the good times." Juno Records
