About this item

Glossy Mistakes present a reissue of "Resonance 001", the debut EP by Belgian producer Fabrice Lagrange, created in collaboration with Frank Beekman and originally released in 1992.

Long overlooked, this forward-thinking record captures a pivotal moment in the early European evolution of house, tech-house and trance-melding minimalism, emotion, and club-oriented experimentation into a sound that remains strikingly fresh over three decades later.

"Resonance 001" stands among the earliest European records to explore the fertile intersection of hypnotic house rhythms and atmospheric trance.

The A-side, featuring "The Awakening Earth" and "Pure Self", channels a stripped-down yet euphoric energy-deeply inspired by the spirit of Detroit techno but undeniably forward-looking. As Frank Beekman recalls: 'This record was recorded in a very simple studio, with minimal gear, inspired by the Detroit techno sound.'

On the B-side, the EP ventures further into experimental territory. "Paris By Night" offers a dreamy, tech-tinged house excursion, leading into "Redondanz", a meditative downtempo closer that perfectly encapsulates the release's subtle charm.

The enduring appeal of "Resonance 001" lies in its restraint: crafted with minimal tools, it delivers maximum emotional depth. It seamlessly blends hazy trance atmospheres, early house grooves, and ambient-inflected textures, capturing the open-minded, exploratory ethos of early '90s electronic music.

Now remastered for vinyl by Wouter Brandenburg, "Resonance 001" returns in pristine form-faithfully preserving its original character while bringing new clarity to its timeless sound. 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Nice under-the-radar slice of early 90s house that was WELL ahead of its time. Not quite as dreamy as its Italian counterparts, this had those rugged Belgian kinetics (a hand-me-down from the new beat days) paired with primal and infectious leads. A true, up-all-nite record.
