( ER 001 ) Tom FRANKEL - Obvious Choice EP (12") E&X Germany

Having debuted on Shellers before moving on to Shall Not Fade, Tom Frankel made his mark hard and fast when he cropped up in 2020. A few years in, he's firing up new label E&X with this classy four-tracker, packing in three of his own rave-tooled, progressive bleepers plus an on-point remix from Revivis. The remix has a more distinctly 90s house demeanour, but Frankel himself remains proudly fluid between styles as he toys with breakbeat, trance and more besides in pursuit of dancefloor gold. On the strength of this release, consider his mission complete.
