Franky Wah is taking over the airwaves. His recent Ministry of Sound releases have topped music charts across the continent – now he’s teamed-up with one of dance music’s most legendary artists: Sasha.
Wah’s uplifting melodic breakbeat productions have already attracted some of techno’s biggest names. He recently released Aftertime on Tale Of Us’ globe-spanning Afterlife print.
But for Sasha, he’s been doing this for decades. Having DJ’d consistently at the highest level from the 90’s onwards, the Bangor-born cult hero has done pretty much all there is to do in dance music.
Now the pair have partnered up with their new four-track Haunted EP on Sasha’s Last Night On Earth label. Here’s the review.
Haunted by Sasha and Franky Wah
-
Last Night On Earth – 18 December 2020
Franky Wah and Sasha are not two names you’d likely associate with each other just a few years ago. Initially known for his techno-house club-ready anthems, Franky Wah – real name Luke Storrs – has exploded onto the melodic scene.
His unique sound has been an experiment in production. His style has been shaped, moulded and crafted into something that’s gathered attention from producers and consumers alike. Sasha is one of those.
Haunted combines two of dance music’s most creative minds. You feel Wah’s funky, breakbeat, groove-driven influence from the start. Sasha’s techno-trance-house touch is applied throughout. Reverbed vocals partner an uplifting melodic synth-sound to create a dreamy electronic collaboration with real depth. An EP lead in name and nature.
The extended play delves into deep house territory with Wolf Spider, before It Gets Lonely Without You takes us back to that melodic break-beat familiarity. Mark One finalises almost half-an-hour or pure brilliance with some brilliance of its own. A powerful drum-synth gives Mark One its bones, whilst soft highly pitched vocals deliver thoughtfulness to this spectacularly atmospheric piece of music.
As a package, the Haunted EP holds its weight throughout. It’s a collaboration that wasn’t needed, until it happened. Both Sasha and Franky Wah have delivered on all expectation – and then some.
Expect to see Franky Wah’s name a lot more in the future. Sasha on the other-hand, nothing more needs to be said about his genius.
