The 2014 release of You Can Always Leave (DJ Sprinkles Remix) / Companion stands as a masterclass in deep house production, bringing together the Brooklyn based duo Frank and Tony with the legendary underground electronic music producer DJ Sprinkles. Released on the esteemed Scissor and Thread label, this vinyl EP highlights the synergistic relationship between Francis Harris and Anthony Collins alongside Terre Thaemlitz under her DJ Sprinkles moniker. The A side transforms the original track into a sprawling, emotive journey characterized by lush atmospheric textures, classic house percussion, and a deeply hypnotic bassline. Electronic music aficionados frequently cite this specific remix as a definitive example of how to maintain a track’s original melancholic essence while elevating it for the late night dance floor.

On the flip side, Companion serves as a quintessential Frank and Tony original, offering listeners a stripped down, dub influenced groove that perfectly balances the emotional weight of the DJ Sprinkles rework. As a piece of underground dance music history, this record demonstrates exceptional audio engineering and a profound understanding of spatial dynamics in club environments. For record collectors and DJs specializing in ambient house and dub techno, the pressing quality and dynamic range of this release are highly regarded. Ultimately, the collaboration on this EP transcends typical club music, providing a deeply cerebral listening experience that remains highly relevant and influential in the contemporary electronic music landscape.
