Master H's summer anthem C'est la Vie with remixes from Supermen Lovers & Onionz is released 1st September (12" CD Single)

MASTER H 'THIRTEEN' Release Date : 8th September Straight out of finest clubs in Paris, Master H is ready to unleash his unique Parisian sound to the UK. A blend of fresh and funky house of the highest quality, “Thirteen”, is H’s deft debut album through Soma Records, set to hit our shores 8th September. Master H is part of the next generation of groovemasters from a country that takes its house music very seriously indeed. The album kicks off with a sombre excerpt from ‘La Femme Du Boulanger’ (The Butchers Wife), a classic film from the South of France. Next the bold and brassy ‘Mayflower’ heats things up, featuring the man himself on vocals. The party vibe continues with ‘F Word’ and, of course, the exceptional ‘Magic K’ - recently released on the ‘Soma 10 Anthology’ collection. Next up is the title track ‘Thirteen’, co-produced with Soma brothers and sonic voodoo bandits of house Silicone Soul. The link continues with ‘Don’t Stop’ featuring the vocal talent of Louise Marshall of ‘Right On!’ national chart fame. Not far behind Is the Latin frenzied ‘Us’, from there the funk quotient goes interstellar with ‘From Here To Space’. Another collaboration sees H team up with Glasgow housemaster DJ Q - the aptly titled ‘HQ’ is a tougher, trackier style than the rest. ‘Ramadam Break’ is a stunning track that fuses fiery electro rhythms and congas into a unique listening experience. The striking melodies lead us perfectly into the final track, ‘C’est La Vie’, a disco trip that will get the Ibiza faithful dipping into delirium this summer. The album comes to a stunning end with the finale from ‘La Femme Du Boulanger’. But the last word must go to Hassen: “The album is not the definition of funk – it’s a creation from influences and what I feel inside. It’s intended to make people happy.” We think you’ll agree.

MASTER H ‘C’EST LA VIE’ A. Original B1. Supermen lovers Mix B2. Onionz True To The D Dub Release date : 25th August Straight outta the classiest clubs in Paris, Master H returns to the UK with the ultra funky “C’est La Vie” and his eagerly anticipated debut album “Thirteen” this August through Soma Recordings. The legacy of Daft Punk has led Soma into a concrete relationship with France and its artists, Hassen Gouaned, aka Master H, is part of the next generation of groove masters from a country that takes its house music extremely seriously. It’s been a struggle to get this far, but one that’s paid off. As a teen Master H would hide under mixing desks in Parisian clubs learning his art – and dodging the owners who would kick him out for being too young. However, it wasn’t long before he could be found standing proud behind a pair of 1210’s, commanding the crowd to shake their hips to his unique Parisian sound at clubs and bars in St Tropez. Two years later at a Miami Music Conference party, his sound attracts the attention of Soma and the rest, as they say, is history. Master H has honed a rare talent for producing the finest, funkiest house around and “C’est La Vie” is no exception. Combining a subtle blend of disco beats and sunshine, this track is sure to have the Ibiza worshippers shaking their booty all summer – and that’s just what Master H intended, after all, “C’est La Vie”!
