Introducing the mesmerizing 6-track deep house vinyl release, “You’ll Keep Going” EP, by the young musician hailing from Paris, Eloi. This EP beautifully captures Eloi’s profound love for nature, evident in every evocative beat and soul-stirring melody.
"You'll Keep Going" EP is a testament to Eloi's boundless creativity and his ability to link his two passions: house music and rock climbing. While everyone will listen to it as a house EP, each track here serves as a bridge between the artist's two passions, and a timeless memory of the state of mind he was in when he made each track.
Cheers from Paris!

Side A of the vinyl opens with the title track, “You’ll Keep Going,” an already classic deep-house track with soulful vocals and a perfect acid synth phrase that will hook you. The track is named after Eloi ran into the owner of a legendary house YouTube channel who, shortly after sharing a track of his for the first time, told him to keep going. Looks like Eloi intends to take his advice.
"Karma" follows, with a more pop feel, a catchy guitar, and vocals from one of the best climbing movies of all time, where a famous climber describes a notorious route. For those in the know, the clap of the track is made up partly of the clap noise produced during attempts to climb Karma. Eloi had set himself the challenge of completing the route before the track was released. Luckily enough, there’s quite some latency in the music industry ^^.
Next up is “Manage Your Temper”, a groovy, hypnotic track led by a bouncy bassline and marked by Eloi's signature lo-fi house sound. In the background lies the ambience sounds of a perfect day in the forest for the artist.
Flipping over to Side B, "Mental Game" is a deep and jazzy track in which a second well-known climber describes some of the mental aspects essential to the artist's favourite sport.
"Confusion" can be approached as a more classic house sound with a more nocturnal ambience, perfect for all-night parties.
The EP reaches its climactic conclusion with “A Few More Breaks Should Do The Trick,” a sophisticated jazz-inspired track with again, a bassline we can't get enough of. The title was inspired by the technical advice a friend gave concerning the track, indeed adding a few little breaks in the final part did the trick, thank you ;).
