PREMIERE: Alphonse - Spirit of the Night (feat. Seraphina Simone) (Main Mix) [Ransom Note Records]

We’ve known Toby Tobias aka Alphonse for a very long time, longer than he’s been sitting on this creation with Seraphina Simone - 2017 if you’re wondering. The pair first crossed paths at Glastonbury and knocked out a set of lyrics over a single session. Life did what life does - lockdowns, a baby, other projects - and the track went through several incarnations before Toby zeroed in on what it actually was: a late-night acid house record built around the 303 line and Seraphina's unmistakable vocals. The Main Mix is where it started. Raw acid wave, heavy on vocals, the original 2017 idea more or less intact. The message is straightforward: Spirit of the Night. Alphonse has released on Klasse Wrecks, Hypercolour, Emotional Especial and Kalahari Oyster Cult. Seraphina Simone has solo EPs on her own terms (Milk Teeth, Wild), credits with TRILLS, Becky Hill and Robyn, and is currently doing her thing as vocalist and dancer in Self Esteem's live band.
