Frankyeffe Releases ‘Out Of This World EP’

Frankyeffe’s calling it an “EP”, though others might argue it’s closer to a full album. Either way, Out Of This World makes one thing abundantly clear: when it comes to midnight studio oil and full-throated clubland firepower, Italy’s Francesco Fava’s not a man to do things by halves.

Fresh from his “One More Night” outing with Sarah de Warren (featured here in its new “Out Of This World” remix), Frankyeffe’s drops eight new forms, set to test speaker stacks and bassbins the clubbing world over.

There’s no better place for the Out Of This World EP to begin than with its title track, whose deep-space bleeps, heavenly-angled choirs, zooming FX and blistering post-break kickdrum bring-back make an immediate statement. “Love is a Shadow” follows, and with it comes one of those instant flame-on female vocals that’ll touch off dancefloors and watch them burn!

Stage 3 sees Torsten “York” Stenzel join the fray, as he and the Riot Recordings boss ask: ‘Where Is All the Energy’ (a question you’ll be able to answer, long before the track’s run its course!). Back in solo mode, Francesco ups the storm with red-lining bass, breakneck snares, clubfloor-urgent sub-melodies and a squalling monster of a mainline!

As the EP crosses its halfway mark, Frankyeffe and Sarah de Warren’s “One More Night” gets a lick of that Out Of This World paint, re-framing it as a fast-and-furious, night-peaking, scene-stealing rework. Meanwhile, both in terms of its vocal and production, ‘I Can Fly’ makes the case for the uplifting … and leaves no anthemic studio-stone unturned in achieving it.

Alongside the Czech Republic’s ReOrder, “Fatal Signal” takes aim at harder-faster floors and finds them at pace, with a furious tech-trance workout, complete with mainline feistiness, drum-thump and 303-laced FX. Rounding out “O.O.T.W.”, Francesco’s more elevating synths rise again on “I Want You” – a harmonic coda, who’s sky-raking finale lets melody claim the ‘EP’s last word. Going eight-for-eight, Frankyeffe’s Out Of This World is out now on all mayor streaming platforms.
