FREnchfire

Spawned from the Manchester collective Generic Greeting, Frenchfire is a 23-year-old self-proclaimed 'ambient bass music' producer. Maybe it was his production skills or maybe it was his sense of humour (he named a recent track after his favourite season of Mad Men), but either way he's come to the attention of San Francisco's Hot N Heavy, who now release this two-tracker. Both tracks are impressively realised, with "North" being an almost beatless ethereal whirl, while "South" introduces gentle garage-flavoured beats into the equation, resulting in a deep and sensuous sound.
