sven wegner: night of light ep
Francisco Espregueira
The Rotterdam-based Fluid Funk presents new grooves with Sven Wegner’s lush Night of Light EP. The producer from Hamburg shifts from the classic house and techno formulas towards further sample-heavy wares and photovoltaic funk joints with success, delivering a smooth piece of funky and laid back house music. Capable of surprising us at every moment, this Night of Light is both unconventional and instantly likable.
Starting off with the dislocated jazz swing of its title-track, the EP lays down an instantly rousing, easy-to-love vibe throughout the room. “Night of Light” is a groovy slice of jazz house, while “Babette” makes for a much lovable bit of bucolic DJ functionality. Flipping the record we find the sensual “French Late Night”, that follows an addictive bassline, complemented with a mosaic of r&b vocal samples. Closing the EP, “Sunny Your Mind” teleports us to warm blankets of white sand, perfect to cast off and enjoy the moment Night of Light is available via Bandcamp. Another quality project dropping on Fluid Funk - a label to keep under close watch.
