andras & oscar: cafe romantica

A collaborative project from Melbourne's Andras Fox and Oscar Key Sung. Like its predecessor, 2013's Embassy Café, Café Romantica started out as raw cassette tape demos. It blends Andras Fox's deep house productions with the sensual vocals of Oscar Key Sung, mixing phrases or straight cuts from experimental jams with lush rhythm tracks in a surprising mix of dancefloor material alongside slow '80s funk grooves. A smoothly urgent house plea, with Oscar's yearning vocals soothed by Andras's warm, light-footed production. For fans of that early '90s house vibe of Larry Heard, Frankie Knuckles, and Kenny Dixon Jr.
