Glossy Mistakes reissues Resonance 01, a proto-house and trance milestone from Belgium from 1992. Resonance 01 is the groundbreaking 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 and trance -- melding minimalism, emotion, and club-oriented experimentation into a sound that remains strikingly fresh over three decades later. Resonance 01 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 01 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 01 returns in pristine form -- faithfully preserving its original character while bringing new clarity to its timeless sound.
