The standout track “Me Vs. You” serves up a bubbling, acid-laden groove that intertwines sexy, low-slung electro vibes with a nostalgic sprinkle of 90s Latin house in its infectious percussion. Adding to the sonic journey, London-based Iranian DJ/producer Kasra V delivers a captivating remix that transforms the original into a deeper excursion: a sultry, techno and prog roller that’s perfect for those transformational early morning moments on the dancefloor.
The title track ‘Chiaroscuro’ features an array of extraterrestrial bleeps interwoven with dreamy vocals, shimmering pads, and lush breaks. This track perfectly encapsulates FAFF’s essence, intimate yet expansive—and is sure to resonate with fans of Eris Drew, Orbital, and Paramida. FAFF describes it as “Me Vs. You’s melancholic counterpart, weaving through breakbeats, textured synths, and dub-soaked undertones into something both intimate and expansive.”
With the launch of Forever, FAFF states, “Chiaroscuro marks the first release on our newly rebranded label & party ‘Forever’ ♾️. We’re thrilled to finally share these tracks after performing them live throughout the past year. This EP dances between progressive acid, breakbeat, and dub-soaked undertones, with a hypnotic remix from our incredibly talented friend Kasra V.”
