PhonoKemi are one of the most exciting electronic musical exports that Denmark has to offer. And that means really a lot, if we think that since many years now a very innovative and exellent techno music scene is growing up in our neighbour country. It is also no wonder that the duo regularly provides Berlin label Highgrade Records with some of our most exciting new releases. The pair has repeatedly demonstrated that the combination of an experienced producer (Jacob Phono Thiessen) and a first rate DJ (Kim Kemi) is a winning combination that ensures the production of intelligent tracks that always make more than their share of revolutions on the worlds turntables. This latest EP is no an exception.
While the first track “2000 Eyes“ hammers out of the speakers with an almost mystical hissing and clanging, “Black Comes The Day“ shifts things back a gear and mixes hypnotic voices with intoxicating beats and elegant loop structures. The result is a groovy track that is animated and optomistic, despite its rather grim title. As with their previous Highrade release “Decompose“, here again PhonoKemi prove to the world that the phrase: “Made In Denmark“, is really a seal of the finest quality.[info from wa]
