NICOLAS DUVOISIN — Walking On The Street EP

Nicolas Duvoisin – Walking On The Street EP arrives on Fantastic Friends as catalogue FFRVO012, an exclusive vinyl release that pushes the producer into a more house-oriented, high-energy zone. The EP’s tech-house foundation is amplified by recent travel-inspired influences, delivering a club-ready statement that feels both contemporary and deliberately dancefloor focused. Within Fantastic Friends’ recent output, Walking On The Street EP follows the eclectic Night Shift EP (FFRVO011) and precedes earlier titles such as Purple Flamingo (FFRVO004, 2024) and the various-artist projects Echoes Of Unity EP (FFRVO007) and Parallel Grooves EP (FFRVO008). The label’s recent chronology also includes Chris Llopis’ Static Steps EP (FFRVO010), situating Duvoisin’s record among a series of releases that explore rhythmic depth and melodic nuance across the tech-house spectrum. Side A opens with “Kaat (Ft Doe)”, a track that channels the EP’s high-energy intent, setting a driving groove that invites immediate movement. It is followed by “We Stay There (Ft Doe)”, which sustains the momentum while offering a slightly more restrained vibe, creating a subtle ebb that prepares the listener for the B-side shift. On side B, “Take Control (Ft Chiara)” introduces a fresh dimension through its collaborative edge, delivering a punchy rhythm that feels built for peak-time impact. The record closes with “Jump Into The Pool”, a final burst of kinetic energy that caps the EP’s club-oriented trajectory. For Duvoisin, Walking On The Street EP marks a notable point after his earlier Circle Music outing Africa Friends (CIRCLE040-6, 2013). While the earlier release explored a different palette, the new EP demonstrates an evolution toward a more immediate, dancefloor-focused expression, aligning with the current direction of Fantastic Friends’ roster. From a DJ’s perspective, the record offers two robust A-side cuts that can be layered into warm-up or mid-set moments, while the B-side delivers a pair of tracks suited for peak-time escalation. The collaborative features with Doe and Chiara add vocal or textural hooks that can be used to punctuate a set, and the vinyl format provides the tactile control prized by turntablists seeking precise cueing. The release is pressed as an exclusive vinyl, adhering to the label’s “Vinyl Only” policy. Its 12-inch format presents ample space for deep bass response and dynamic groove, making it a practical choice for both club decks and personal collections.
