Label bosses Frank And Tony return to Scissor & Thread with Odes, their strongest productions to date. "Procession" takes no time demonstrating the duo's keen ability to craft undeniable dancefloor vibes, with a hypnotic percussive groove that's sure to turn heads. "Odes" epitomizes the Frank And Tony sound with an early morning nostalgia and a nod to Detroit. "This Time" sees a collaboration with Darand Land, combining the dancefloor drive of the duo's sound with the intricate melodies synonymous with Land's sound. "Surface Prelude" sees a raw, but deep warehouse atmosphere reminiscent of early '90s house.

Frank & Tony present their third release of 2016, Harmonium EP. Toms and effervescent drum patterning get things started on "Serenade". Swirling pads, alongside a driving two-note bass, lay the groundwork before siren-like synths call out. "Hardrian" takes the tempo down and conjures basement rave vibes with its propelling bass line and cavernous pads. The title cut takes things into open-air - Airy pads and a buoyant bass carry the track and the drum patterning further lightens the tone. The duo take on John Beltran's classic "Gutaris Breeze (6000km To Amsterdam)" from his 1996 album, Ten Days of Blue.

Frank And Tony present another four track summer stomper, Under The Jaguar Sun. "Under The Jaguar Sun" is a rollicking deep house number - a bouncing bass, crisp hi-hats, yearning pads and shimmering bells. The edit of Solo Andata's "A Ballet of Hands" is a whirling dervish of delicate music boxes, bowed guitars and distant horns weaving in-and-out of a skipping drum pattern. The double bass of "Difficult Loves" keeps things going as introspective pads shimmer. The Latin vibes of "Sargasso" has crisp tambourine, dense kicks and a deep bass line.

Frank and Tony deliver four prime cuts aimed squarely at the dancefloor. Vinyl-only opener "Ebreo" places silky smooth bass over a bed of soft, swirling percussion highlighted by a pitched-down steel drum. The "Breakaway Edit" of Donato Wharton's "Absentia," first heard on Frank and Tony's acclaimed Resident Advisor podcast, loops brittle bits of the original's hushed ambient tones over a chunky kick and shuffling hi-hat to hypnotic effect. "Waiting Ground" evokes the sun-kissed euphoria of early-hour raves with its lush atmospherics and thick kick. "Pavane" flips this laid-back attitude, adding an in-your-face kick and propulsive pads.
