Paris-based friends and confidants CLAP42 and WTNS surface with a misty-eyed house track that feels tailor-made for the soft light of dawn. What started as a sampling exercise turned into a slow-burning, smile-inducing groove - equal parts cheeky and tender.
Behind the CLAP42 moniker is a Parisian producer and member of the Skylax crew. His knack for broken beats, soft-saturated synths, and intuitive sequencing gives the track its pulse. At the heart of it is WTNS’ voice - raspy, dreamy, and gently guiding each act. Nearly a decade ago, her first vocal demo “Persian Leaves” appeared quietly on SoundCloud: a raw sketch of a voice still taking shape, already carrying the emotional weight it now commands.
Light on its feet but heavy with feeling, this is house music with a pulse and a wink - made for the end of the night, or maybe the start of something else.
