Frankee 'Nobody Cares' (Ram)
Program protégé Frankee has already earned his spurs on the main Ram label, and now takes things up a notch with a debut LP. If you were in any doubt that Ram’s dancefloor sound can still tick all the boxes, pay attention: this is a starry-eyed liquid roller built from classic stepping jungle breaks but drenched in frightening luxury. The vocal syrup is infectious, the warping subs crackle gorgeously and the bassline arpeggios nod subtly to vintage days. A real pearler.
