phantasm is a new vinyl label and collaboration between amsterdam s sinchi collective and the much-admired night noise outlet, based in geneva. it kicks off with a strong ep from the soviet union aka richard baldwin, including classy remixes from sinchi themselves and in flagranti. baldwin has a signature style that is cinematic and synth heavy and has been formed over the last decade plus. a fine dj, experienced promoter and self-confessed addict of vintage analogue synthesizers and drum machines, richard pulls his influences from early electronica, 80s film-scores, and shades of techno right up to the present day. this track was first written on a cold evening in december 2010 using a roland tr707 and jx8p synth. after collaborating with his songwriting partner the track was given a haunting vocal and released as the disappearance of becky sharp , while the original remained on baldwin s soundcloud and got id requests from all over the world. 7 years later it comes back to life in the form of its original instrumental, with a 2017 rework, plus remixes by sinchi and in flagranti.

following the release of synkro aka joe mcbride collection of his formative early works earlier this year, apollo recordings is proud to present a brand new ep that draws on the rich heritage of library music. despite having come up during the dubstep era mcbrides music has always resisted easy classification - hand in hand sees him shift his musical focus in a yet more cinematic direction. mcbride explains: the record was inspired and influenced by my love of electronic 80s uk library records like the chappell av series, bruton, soundstage & de wolfe music library. theres a lot of synth work that carries on from my album using my trusted juno-6 / sh101 / jx8p combo with the addition of drum samples via an old akai s2800 i purchased recently. most sounds ive made from scratch on hardware based on sounds used in the library records i mentioned above along with a few cheeky samples.- synkro s signature expansive atmospherics are still very much present, but now they have been burnished by soaring synth pads and pulsing drum tracks that call to mind the haunted melancholy of john carpenter or contemporary such as legowelt or andy stott. rhythmically hand in hand sees mcbride moving somewhat away from his usual off kilter programming inspired by 2-step and garage, embracing the steady pulse of 4:4 which turns out to be an effortless fit.

the second tape on legowelt s nightwind records cassette series. through his remote viewing powers danny wolfers channeled the music of saab knutson of faroe islands circa 1993. 60 minutes of nordic ambient with a disturbing undertone of dark melancholia with vague notions of distant happiness. saab knutson is a man with many issues, but on the faroe islands there is no time for issues. to stay of sound mind, saab plays his synthesizers in the few spare hours he manages to find, unmistakenly influenced by faroe s spellbinding landscapes and grim climate. though danny has never been to the islands he has a definite puzzling calling to them, a luring force, so to speak. hopefully he will sell enough saab knutson albums so he can fund an expedition and find out more about this mysterious destiny... played on yamaha dx100, roland jx3p, alpha juno 2, emu 16 bit digital sampling keyboard. ruby metallic cassette tape in luxurious faux plastic case

a1 nubian mindz - deep in raves: well known for his versatile and rich production, colin delivers once more. with a quite suitable name - deep in raves is just that. a deep plunge into dark and rave-like atmosphere. after a short intro layered with an ominous voice, massive bassline takes over and drives the track through the darkest curves. enriched with short percussions and a synth stab this is quite a stomper best experienced on a good club soundsystem, preferably in the dark. a2 volster - nebula: almost obsessed with audio purity, volster manages to combine new and modern sounds with old-school genre roots. nebula is all about complexity. although it is based on an electro foundations, it s so much more. space filled with an oscillatory synth motion perplexed with smooth pads that gives the impression of an interstellar properties. no detail is left unengaged, from the 808 that keeps everything in motion to the subtle amount of panning. this is a beautifully crafted story by a producer who is slowly but steadily growing into one of the best croatian artists. b1 lucretio - dracula: the most famed beard of cadoneghe/italy has pulled another magic gem from his music source. widely known for his relentless tendency to push the analogue spectrum to it s extreme, lucretio surprises once more with his ability to blend simple pieces into an effective sub storm with almost comic like features. dracula is not your conventional tune and it s pretty obvious why as soon as you put the needle on. broke down rhythm is heavily fueled by polished but enormous sub background with sparse and ¥in your face¥ shots. seemingly random notes take a gloomy and powerful form during the break and soon the lurky atmosphere comes into picture. this is truly brilliance in it s full simplicity. if only bram stoker could hear this, he would probably be both stunned and amused! b2 james booth - jxst do it: one of our goals on vakum is to be on a lookout for a new and promising talents. berlin based james booth surely fits the bill. jxst do it is a seriously crafted track with rich rhythmic section wrapped in a steady build up. after the initial break-beat intro sliced in short chunks, subtle 303 bassline takes over and the rhythmic game begins. booth delivers a perfectly timed cuts accompanied by a diverse palette of percussions. this is a perfect piece for those build up moments in the club..

achterbahn d amour is courtesy of edit piafra & iron curtis. rooted in nu&#776,,,,rnberg, city of love. jx2 is another slammer, guided by lush pads and some quirky acidish bassline that cuts from your left brain to your right brain and then straight to the next dancefloor. there is no escape, dont even try! the other side of the platter has more to offer: the middle of is a high standard dj tool with heart. repetitive loops all over and no end in sight. but(t)! exactly the right amount of dirt to keep you movin and shakin that hips. oh, we have to admit, no rnb samples were used at all. sorry guys! if youre into pop music with a certain love for jackin house music, youll probably go for into the wilde. this song was recorded just before a mad club gig in berlin and you know what to expect: pitcheddown and pitched-up vocals, a live bass and drum machine workouts galore. frank says: these guys are hot as hades. early plays by gilbr (chateau flight), axel boman, basic soul unit, hunee, san soda, roberto rodriguez, red rack em, sasse, ethyl, patlac, matthias vogt (motorcitysoul), francis inferno orchestra, snuff crew & foffie.

legowelt and m>o>s recordings joining forces? a cosmic necessity that these forces driven by deepness and beauty of house music would collide.this four-track ep takes you on a journey into mystery and beauty. the a-side opens with lovestrory sh21, a tear jerkin, eerie power bomb reminiscent of g-strings and ron trent. slompy jitt is a tense and melodic house track, uplifting and psychedelic. police 303 is a slow, sexy and warm acid track reminding of theo parish. last track on the b-side, deerdrive jx 10, unfolds slowly into a melancholic deephouse track echoing memories of marshall jefferson.

peter introduces himself like this, >ive started making music with an oric-1 home computer in the middle of the 80ties, later the commodore amiga was the flagship and then....the casio fz1 and now i use the galaxy of software and the korg mx1, roland tr727, roland jx8p, korg ms20, yamaha tg33, yamaha dx7 so i guess that it makes things clear, peter is one of these producers that uses older analogue machines along more recent software gears. and you can sure hear it in its productions, it sounds huge, powerful while style wise keeping things on to the soul filled part of the dance floor. peter delights us here with two stunning tracks that contain modern beats structures echoing rather old school house patterns and hooks. as always with peters incredible music, originality, surprises and ingeniosity are 100% at the rendezvous
