FR002 by Sonar's Ghost & Tim Reaper

So the way this release came together was after I had got everything sorted for FR001, I felt quite keen on getting the next main label release ready to come straight after.

I had been talking to Sonar's Ghost as we'd just finished our collab (Leapfrog Style) for Meeting Of The Minds Vol. 5 & he had a release on 7th Storey Projects in 2020 with a tune called "In'a Soul" on it which I had been playing a lot and was quite a big fan of. I asked him if he could do me a tune in that style for the label and when he responded, he mentioned that earlier, he was driving to somewhere and drove past the place where a former club called Milwaukee’s was based, called Souldrop. He themed the tune around that name and as soon as I heard the finished product, I knew that it was perfect for the next main label release. I asked him who he thought would be the perfect artist for remixing it and he suggested FFF (who I had worked with on Meeting Of The Minds Vol. 2), who then brought a proper rolling version out of Souldrop, perfect to accompany the original

On the b-side is a tune from me called Deep Within, that previously came out on a digital compilation called ON+ON+ON that was put together by a label called Goddezz. Nebula had heard the original and wanted to do a remix of it and it gave me the idea that it might be worth putting the original on vinyl finally, alongside Nebula's remix, similar to how CRFR001 came together. When he finished his remix, I was very pleased with how he had expanded on the original ideas and brought his own style and sounds to it, it gave a nice contrasting pair of tunes to the a-side, rough with the smooth.
