Los Angeles-based producer, DJ, and label head Monsieur Frazier is lifting the veil on his debut showpiece with the single “Keep You Close.”
The single introduces his self-titled, three-track EP, Monsieur Frazier, due September 1 on his tastemaking label Understated Recordings, featuring a fellow Washington-based producer and audio engineer Nick Garcia, “Keep You Close” exhibits a pastiche of styles that Monsieur Frazier has sculpted into his own sound, mastering something entirely new and unique. The track boasts skittering U.K. garage-style drums that bear the charge of a heavy bass drop and squelchy mid-range basslines, married with a chopped soul sample, colorful jazz keys, and trap-style triplet rap.
Monsieur Frazier & Nick Garcia come together, and deliver a stunning mix for this week’s “Mix Of The Week”. Tune in!
