Francisco Espregueira
We dive into the enigmatic world of Black Fan as he unveils his latest offering, I Know I Am, released under the esteemed Quintessentials label. With previous releases on Local Talk and Quintessentials already garnering attention, Black Fan emerges as a standout artist to watch in 2024. I Know I Am represents a culmination of the producer’s musical journey, showcasing his deep-rooted love for house and techno, reminiscent of the golden eras in New York, Detroit, and Sheffield.
Drawing inspiration from his experiences in the early rave and house scenes, Black Fan infuses each track with a rich tapestry of nostalgia and authenticity. From the infectious energy of "I Know I Am," reminiscent of classic New York and New Jersey house tunes, to the raw, deep, and detroitish vibes of "TE2”. Our personal favorite, “Deep Rotation” is a deep masterpiece that we’ll play and replay for the years to come. I Know I Am is available on vinyl, courtesy of Quintessentials.
