But his first release in 2018, ‘Only You‘, is a return to form with Jankel 100% in control all production aspects. In a statement he explained that following was his intent with the new track.
‘Only You’ is a bouncy, vocal laden, feel good house track. Piano melodies frame the introduction Jankel’s vocals before dropping into a chunky bass line. The return the piano and some chopped up vocals push the positive vibes towards euphoria.
