Fool's Gold debut for Onra! The Parisian beat maker/boogie funkster has been making moves over the past couple years with killer releases on All City and Favorite, and now steps it up with a proper EP on A-Trak and Catchdub's Fool's Gold imprint. On Deep In The Night, Onra flexes modern boogie funk styles with a hip-hop aesthetic. From the opener, "After Hours" with T3 of Slum Village, you can already get a feel for what he's working with. Then comes "L.O.V.E." an instrumental heater sure to move the club, then the cool down joint "Somewhere (Deep In The Night)." The EP rounds out with another vocal cut "V.B.B." with Amalia and Jaykin, and the hard hitting "Hold Tight." Instrumental for "After Hours" also included.
