Mr.Fonk’s Smile for a While label has always held a great propensity for unleashing quality electronic music. Whether that be more House Music or more on the Techno side – or in this case, Garage-infused House tunes – the modus operandi always revolves around a quality-soaked palette.

For their latest release, the now Berlin-based label switches its attention to Jana Falcon, an emerging German producer for whom S4AW007, The Falling EP, marks her first release on the label. All things considered, it’s an accomplished record that’s noteworthy for its liking for the unpredictable.

Getting us off to a flying start is the robust sounds of “Falling (Again Boy)”. An intricate fusion of Garage and House textures, it’s a sultry, catchy record with stunning spoken-word vocals and a bed of fuzzy beats that give it a really contemporary gloss. The EP then goes off in another direction still courtesy of the brilliantly named, “Contemplation of Inadequacy”. This one is crafted on another hypnotic tip (tip or trip???), drawing the listener in with another bevy of atmospheric vocals and a bassline that’s pure fire.

The second half of the release gets underway with “Petrias’ House”. This time, the producer goes for a more upfront House sound, and one that recalls some of the best works on Mike Banks’ Happy label thanks to its summery vibes. Simmering piano keys lend this one a sun-soaked flourish; precisely the tonic for the fast-approaching summer.

Culminating the release is a thoroughly banging remix by We Play House man, Dynamodyse. The emerging German producer summons up a remix that’s thoroughly engaging and is sure to get your head in a spin. Alongside stunning originals by Monosoul, Janis and Johannes Albert (not to mention remixes by Borrowed Identity, Iron Curtis and Move D), this is another stellar chapter in the S4AW catalogue.
