Premiere: Franky A – Aquamarine [SSLA RECORDS]

This Summer the thriving LA based Sunday Sessions outfit will launch their vinyl label – SSLA – with a well rounded VA from residents and affiliates of the SS collective. You can expect to hear heavyweight sounds from the likes of Franky A, Laura Peck, Krane, Zalapa, and Mr. Santer, each of them exploring different strains of minimalistic sounds for various stages of the night.

Franky A kicks things off with some deep sea diving on “Aquamarine”, a classy track that simmers progressively throughout, twisting and turning amongst the depths of the deep blue. Mysterious tones lead the way in Laura Peck’s “Subtle Dominance” a chugging sub heavy bass purrs throughout the trip, the stripped back approach goes a long way as this track would be sure to set the floor alight.

The B side is introduced by Krane, “Fleita” is an emotion filled journey constructed upon dusty broken drums, pensive flutes and hypnotic acid lines, a collaboration track with his brother DJ Boora on the drums and mixing. Zalapa steers the EP in a more upbeat direction with “Mental Drift” meandering along with its killer elasticated groove. Hazy hip hop sounds in the final track “Put Some Action On Paper”, the ultimate soundtrack to end the night and leave everyone in a feel-good vibe. Mr. Santer with a fitting closer to the inaugural EP on the SS label.

In recent years the flourishing brand on the LA circuit have paved out a colourful journey, constructing a reputation upon intimate events, putting their faith into vinyl only diggers of all realms, famous faces you will definitely know but simultaneously offering a platform for local collectors to showcase their sound to a refined crowd, letting the music be the focus of each of event. 2023 will also see them spread their wings further and showcase the SS vibe in other cities such as Miami and New York.
