We've come to appreciate that many of the artists that we often perceive to know so well hold more than what meets the eye. A perfect illustration of this is DJ/Producer Francis Harris who is both often known as the shadowy funkster Adultnapper as well as his newer project lightbluemover which made its profound live debut with black light smoke in Room One last year for Superfreq. Similarly we also know Parisian DJ/Producer Anthony Collins as an integral part of Paris' deep house culture as a former member of the remarkable, late, Freak n’Chic label; as well as his beautiful 2011 co-production craft with Ricardo Villalobos and Los Updates, in their collaborative track ‘I Throw Water Into The Lake.'
Bring the two gatherers from different corners together and you get Frank & Tony born out of the fresh Brooklyn-based label, Scissor & Thread which they co-run next to Brooklyn record shop owner Shawn Schwartz and Michael Scott, owner of Atlanta-based house label, Soco Audio - united in their pursuit of the more leftfield side of music where indie-pop songs get a deep electronic kick.
Last year, we got a true taste for Scissor & Thread when they released Francis Harris' first album under his own name in seven years, entitled 'Leland' as a requiem for his father and was emitted amongst the label's series of slow burning, vocal house EPs from Frank & Tony themselves. Read on for our interview with Francis Harris & Anthony Collins before they takeover Room Three on 19th January with special guest Voigtmann. We can't dig this masterclass of deep house grooves from them enough.
"The mix represents the vibe of Frank & Tony. A mix of classic style house with a more modern edge represented in our own music peppered throughout the mix. We like to think that even though our sets tend to be slower in BPM and more musical than most, the programming still has a punch that keeps a dance floor moving.
