French talent Raphael Scemama makes a stunning debut on Maison D’Etre, the imprint founded by Anthony Middleton (Audiofly), with a sophisticated new EP that effortlessly bridges minimal elegance and deep house warmth. Known for his hypnotic, groove-led productions and refined sense of rhythm, Scemama continues to solidify his place among France’s most compelling underground voices — and this latest release is a perfect example of why.
The EP unfolds with ‘Raindrop’, a smooth and atmospheric gem led by silky basslines and soft percussion that recall the golden age of US deep house. ‘Anytime’ follows with a brighter touch — summery strings, cosmic synth flourishes, and an irresistible swing that feels tailor-made for open-air dancefloors. Rounding things out, ‘Put Your Soul In’ strips things back to their essence — supple drums, dusty textures, and subtle melodic movements that build a heady, late-night groove.
Adding another layer of depth, YokoO steps in for two exquisite reworks of ‘Raindrop’. His ‘Goes Deep Dub’ sinks below the surface with hazy chords and dubby atmospherics, while the ‘E Morning Dub’ — premiered today exclusively on When We Dip — injects a touch more bite and drive without losing the meditative charm.
This release is another testament to Maison D’Etre’s dedication to subtle, timeless dance music — rich in texture, emotion, and groove.
You can now listen to the full premiere of YokoO’s ‘E Morning Dub’ remix exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
