British producer Alexis Raphael returns to Max Chapman’s Resonance Records with two club focused tracks.

In just under five years, Alexis Raphael has taken the world of contemporary house music by storm.From receiving his big break in 2011 on Jamie Jones and Lee Foss’s Hot Creations label, Raphael was quickly nominated for best breakthrough DJ by DJ Mag in 2012, the same year he landed a residency at Manchester’s renowned Warehouse Project. Since then he’s signed his releases to the likes of Madtech, Culprit, Leftroom, Heidi’s Jackathon Jams, Hot Creations and Get Physical, and his latest release marks his third appearance on Resonance Records this year.

Comprised of two tracks, ‘Now Or Never’ gradually builds into a sluggish bassline whilst maintaining Alexis’ polished production style throughout. On the other hand ‘Sexual Chocolate’ is a deep and seductive roller combining enticing female spoken vocal with filtered chords and intricate percussion.

Alexis Raphael ‘Now Or Never’ EP is out on Resonance Records on the 28th December 2015.
