nearly 10 years on from it’s last release, phantom audio relaunches on march 11th 2013¬†and what better way to start than to go back to the very beginning! ¬†originally released on dec 6th 1999, phantom force went on to become one of the legendary dnb anthems, still being heard in sets today. fracture tears it apart and takes it right into 2013 with a mammoth half-stepping groove, led by those familiar pounding stabs, nervous strings and teasing break edits. digital & spirit go to work on backlash themselves, harking back to an era where the beats where dirty and the mood was heavy for a trademark slice of sub-heavy organised breakbeat chaos

die yippiee-vögel aus hannover haben für ihre neue ep ihre fühler jedenfalls weit ausgestreckt und bis ins ferne all gefunkt, um letztendlich eine nachricht aus ihrer eigenen stadt zu bekommen.der hannoveraner sebi mono aka bass tikal, der eigentlich eher fans von dnb und dubstep bekannt ist, hatte mit seinem partner aus bristol mehrere neue raketen gebaut und konnte seine langjährigen freunde sofort von ihrer mission begeistern. euphorisiert vom neuentdeckten machte sich mono und die vögel sofort an die arbeit. kurz vor dem start der ersten zweiwöchigen 12-mission und der folgenden zusätzlichen digitalen streifzüge freut sich das gesamte team euch nun ihren hoffnungsträger vorzustellen:da eine schallplatte ohne qualitätsverluste nur eine bestimmte track-länge zulässt, fanden sich am ende exakt drei tracks, die nun den dunklen weg der macht bestreiten. auf der a-seite findet sich das mehr als 10-minütiges debüt der beiden neuen vögel. hipster und youtube-kritiker würden dieses stück wohl als episch beschreiben. das yippiee-team fand aber, dass der titel stellar völlig ausreicht und ihren griff zu den sternen gut genug beschreibt. bei den tracks auf der b-seite handelt es sich hingegen um sehr an der bassline orientierte tracks, die auch durch die unvoreingenomme und unkonventionelle herangehensweise der beiden dnb-produzenten ihre gewisse würze erhält. neben durchaus bekannten grooves zeichnet besonders der feinfühlige einsatz von flächigen sounds im zusammenspiel mit prägnanten, aber auch maßvollen vocals diese ep aus.

need u (100%) is finally released to the masses and is already off to an incredible start with annie mac making it her special delivery and tipping duke as one of her ones to watch for 2013. radio and club plays have come in thick and fast from the likes of pete tong, zane lowe, toddla t, trevor nelson, nick grimshaw and mistajam bridging the boundary firmly between dance and urban. skream loved the track so much he asked if he could do a skreamixfor the ep. a waze & odyssey remix cements this super hot package from the super hot dj/ producer.

the next ep on back to yous collection is brit born, adam sheltons mindscape. following his debut on air london at the start of 2011, shelton has continued to pave the way with his undeniable originality. displaying sounds of tech through to atmospheric, the producers ability shows no boundary.

the guys from audision are back with their next release in coloured vinyl! they produced chimes 1 for their live-set and it was much appreciated by the crowd. their new syntie roland jd 800 sounded crystal clear in their studio, but when they practiced for their live set in frankurt last year, all of a sudden it played a different sound … this was a magic moment which had to be recorded at once. the typcial audision device is: let the machines do the talking. and that is the also the story of chimes 2 *away* was the beatless track from their last years release up & away. so no one else but gez varley aka g-man created a dancefloor monster out of it. where can we start, when we talk about such a genius like gez varley. he was co-founder of the legendary lfo (warp records) duo. he wrote music history with his partner mark bell. under his solo project g-man, he released on labels like wir, i220, force inc or swim. *quo vadis* is still one of the most important all-time favourite techno tracks. last but not least a typical rough and deep house mix came out of christopher raus machines. the smallville member released on labels like, pampa, derive, aim, mule… and delivered a great track for this wonderful release. all in all - a must have!

another storming, ranging ep from the new yorkers: heavy-duty machine funk for the dancefloor, charged and swinging with old-school chicago vibes. the a-side house bobs from tearaway to discofied to rawly jaunty, the techno on the flip from dug-in and twisted to a more wide-open excursiveness. to start, the soulful rug-cutter down runs a sublimated tribalism beneath lovely, dubwise kick drums and sultry female vocal, heavy skies is lo-fi funk, a stand-out, the bass and brilliant percussion-work of the title track crosses us garage with new uk styles (a little joy o to its bottom end). discreet time meshes vintage chicago drum programming with the filtered house of someone like i:cube, and to close, plateau, a widescreen, experimental bubblers, with reaching fxd synths and shuffling snares and hi-hats... perhaps their best yet.

cocoon recordings is back on the track, just in time to start this years party season! and we are more than happy to present one of the men of the moment: adam port!

mihai popoviciu has established him self as a producer and dj of high repute in the past few years. his releases on labels such as highgrade, fear of flying and hudd traxx have raised the bar pretty high when it comes to his own distinctive take of the tech-house sound du jour, but its this latest outing on poker flat recordings where sparks really start to fly.

unxpozd presents the 4th project from dj aakmael, *aak of noise ep*, giving you a straight up dance floor heater from the start! all tracks once again offer something for the hardcore listener/collector, and of course the djs that have a love for classic deep house and vinyl!

our first offering from survival and silent witness sets off the tone of what to expect from the full *in from the wild* package itself and album which seems to morph and twist from all out dance floor brutality to musical genius and back like these 2 artists seem to do so often and so effortlessly. *the feeding* is a powerful space age drum-shuffled crowd killer whilst *lights* presents a more musical journey from start to finish, in our eyes it is a very complete 12 inch pick from a very well pieced album. trust us, this talented duo are taking no prisoners in 2013.
support for the album so far from: friction (on bbc radio 1), laurent garnier (on his pbb worldwide radio show), london elektricity (on his hospital records xmas podcast). select tracks have also received wide support and praise from the likes of calyx & teebee, break, ant tc1, nymfo (as featured on his fabric mix), xtrah, youngsta, octane, dlr, skeptical, artificial intelligence, dbr uk, basher, mindscape, lynx, cern, hybris, ruckspin, june miller and gerra & stone.

ffr start well 2013 with a vinyl release which could be qualified as indecent, featuring an original track by phonokemi, remixed by two well respected artists, the italian nico lahs and the incredible german producer tim xavier. a release with multiple facets: deep, tech house, minimal & mental and chicago-bump-styleas we would come to expect from phonokemi, thoughts is a deep tech house track of extremely high quality. with a deep and pumping baseline and well refined vocals, thoughts is dark and groovy on one hand and an invitation to dance on the other, with absolutely no second thoughts.nico lahs s remix is an ultra-personal and mental re-read of the original track: minimal and elegant, cosmic and organic this track is reminiscent of some of ricardo villalobos s reference productions.finally tim xavier takes us straight to the centre of the universe: the dancefloor. his remix is a real dancing machine… pumping basses, efficient snares and sublime vocals that loop the loop and make this ep a killer release.

upon the first listen, the work of fernando unfolds directly on your brain and leaves a long lasting feeling of drama. fernando pulichino is one those lucky guys who can pick up any instrument and write songs without breaking a sweat. he first caught my attention with a remake of the bauhaus classic kick in the eye released on redux in 2008. he then backed up this great start with releases and remixes for labels like international feel, under the shade, internasjonal and nang. he also very busy touring as part of the 2020 soundsystem band and he is also in silver city with julian sanza.
we decided to put together a long player to highlight the talents of our man in buenos aires. the construction of *float* reveals an astonishing wealth of musical ideas, brazen touches of new wave and icy modern disco sounds are evident throughout. low slung basses are also a theme that runs right through *float* whether it is the opening song *a place* which has a monster electronic bottom end or *from out there* which sits firmly on the punk funk dinner table, bass lines are clearly important to fernando.

puristic electronic drone ep.

after appearances on werkstoff and kammer musik neal white is back home on eintakt records with a quite playful while straight ahead thinking 12 inch. we start off deep underwater with the title track, a melancholic dubtechno drifter with a touch of pop called goldfish. enjoyable pianos, a rainy atmosphere, some classic chords and that tasty voice by klavinora make that track a proper name giver. after that wet a-side we come up afloat facing the livefish remix from rhauder (famous artist on the great label ornaments) on the other vinyl side, a reduced (even a bit) stoic floor operator, driving us through the confusions of the autumn sea. coming ashore and meeting queen ema is peaceable after all that. conciliating with the world and weather while getting surrounded by warm pads, curly effects and again the piano hints played by klavinora

after all efforts were put into jacob korns debut album during summer 2012 uncanny valley strikes back with namesake jacob stoy and his very first solo ep after his s51 for the uv010-compilation. everything starts with redensart, a sunny piece of music with a sneaky bassline and easy synth pads that come across like a warm rain shower: its house in the end but feels like so much more. hauswart is an impressive example of how one can create a whole atmosphere of sound within two minutes. its short but feels so comfortable that you really like it to go on and on forever. start is maybe the most conventional deep house track on the ep and seduces with catchy synth chords and thrilling drums. finally gegenwart brings things to a jazzy end with tipsy synths and tripping percussions. the artwork comes from none other than jacobs father olaf stoy, who is a painter, lyricist and porcelain designer still working in jacobs hometown rabenau near dresden.
