almost otherworldly in its vastness and serene beauty, many musicians have drawn from the well of inspiration that is arizona’s sonoran desert, but few are quite as accomplished or prolific as steve roach. an ambient pathfinder and electronic innovator, his back catalogue as vast as those breathtaking vistas – sonic renderings of arid landscapes littered with saguaro cacti are found in good company alongside didgeridoo-focused experiments and ethereal drifts that navigate the event horizon, between the brilliance of space and a black abyss.
reminiscent of philip glass’ minimalism and the kosmische stylings of tangerine dream, ‘skeleton keys’ seemed to fall somewhere between the two. conjuring expansive meditations amongst the impossible tangle of wires that dangle from his apparatus, roach opens portals from the grand canyon state into a cluster of newborn stars with intricate, intelligent sequencing and modular synthesis.
recorded between 2005 and 2015 from roach’s famed timeroom and timehouse studios, the album was fully realized through advancements in technology, specifically, synthesizers.com’s large format analog modular sequencer. organic, fluid and intuitively kneaded into his spooling soundscapes, it’s now to be committed to cassette for the first time, bridging the synaptic gap with a new ‘expanded’ version that elongates the original 74-minute duration.

phantasy is proud to welcome klaxons to the family with this exclusive vinyl only release. remixed by chemical brother and original producer of the title track from the forthcoming klaxons album love frequency, tom rowlands returns to phantasy after the huge 2013 double a sided single through me / nothing but pleasure. on the flip side, erol alkan (also a producer on the album) brings down the tempo and ups the dub on his mild pitch mix.

"many electronic producers make music that sounds like the future. alavux is making the future and has carved himself a millennium head start. whilst many of his peers maintain a course along the kraftwerk or drexciyan trajectory alavux is committed to creating his own path; still drawing on the inspiration these great pioneers gave to so many, but choosing to adopt their pioneering spirit and innovation rather than their sound and track structures.
many a conversation has taken place about whether alavux is a maker of techno or electro. his discography tells you that he can pull off both very well and octagon shows you that both can be combined with explosive results. the sheer power and intensity of his grooves make each track a force to be reckoned with.
supported by dave clarke, billy nasty, igloo magazine, thomas h green (the arts desk), dj stingray umwelt and more."

fresh water is the debut work by london based musician and visual artist, jake marshall. across eight tracks marshall twirls and bends his sound palette around motifs of emergency and crisis, “i was interested in distress sounds, sirens, flares etc”. the many sonic limitations in fresh water demonstrate marshall’s uniqueness. all kinds of plastic, caustic sounds, german ambulance sirens, bleeps rattling off unknown morse code, the highly synthetic strings emerging from the silence, it creates a somehow organic yet inhumane, but addictive turbulence.

we have a great collaboration album from unam zetineb and soolee distributed each original tracks and remixes. interpolate is produced by spanish techno producer unam zetineb which has chocking bass energy and gentle but harsh beats. another track tense is produced soolee, label head from south korea. it has highly tensed electric loops with pounding drum. each remixes are also showing different color of original mixes.

2016 repress , a dark and monumental piece of music, using simple but effective sound patterns, repeating them by adding nice delays and other smart fx, step by step slowly building it up in tremendously hypnotic fashion. striking indeed! on the flip side it s dusseldorf s loco dice, resident dj at ibiza s hippest dc10, a true global player, known and loved for his releases on timo maas label four twenty, josh wink s ovum, sven väth s cocoon and richie hawtin s minus. what a list...! but back to the music. his remix of -1000 miles- is less dark, more funky, smartly playing around with some short soundtips, gliding softly towards a quiet break, before evolving to full power, step !by step. the groove is the key! our tip: this 12inch will definitely be a guiding light for this year s summer, especially on the magic island of ibiza

during one long winter s night in a neon-lit paris, a restless young man wanders around to let himself be found by something that most people otherwise try to avoid: ghosts. and the night is full of unexpected encounters in this ultra-chic film, which is neither documentary nor fiction, but rather an adaptation of the idea that jacques derrida defines in a guest star appearance on the cinema screen: that film plus psychoanalysis is equal to the science of ghosts - ie. a form of spectrography , which the french artist smith in her self-ironic, self-conscious, science-fiction essay of a film, conjures up with thermal infrared and in the dialogue s mosaic of quotes of rambling french philosophy, from breton and barthes to merleau-ponty and derrida himself. hyper-modern and rich in (retro) references.

the wonderful mr k is back with more edit magic on his own most excellent label, this time adding his own spin to wela wela a hard edge and raw funk cut from black blood, a band of musicians from central africa but who were based in belgium
