Sales Information:

Belgian imprint Silverback Recordings bring you 'EP 3' this December by Polish producer The Phantom.

Bartosz Kruczynski aka The Phantom is recognized as a driving force in Poland's electronic music output with releases for Catz N' Dogz' Pets Recordings and Marcin Czubula's Your Mama's Friend. Silverback Recordings embrace an unbiased approach with their output, releasing a widespread variety of electronic music from house and techno through to new-breed Garage from artists such as the muchhyped British producer Jack Dixon and France's Jean Nipon.

'Personality' opens the release here, an old school inspired, sample-based cut with a stripped down 90's house feel. Resonant synth lines, funky organ licks, hi strings and a filter-house vocal line make up the track and The Phantom displays his ability to compose deep, emotive house with distinctiveness.

Next up is 'La Defense' a low-slung track with pulsating bass warbles, warm, organic piano melodies and a swarming arpeggiated synth line. Off-kilter shuffling snare rolls add a broken-beat swing to the cut and squelchy chorus modulation further fuels its inventive feel, the result is once again something classy and rather unique.

'EP 3' is concluded with 'Body Fantastic'; bright, soothing synth chords and an insistent rolling percussion movement drives the track. It's 2-step, dub style drums give the cut a forward thinking feel as does this Polish producers evident ability to create musical harmony, manipulating the melodic elements to react to one another in a call and response fashion brilliantly.
