black crow is the third single to be taken from the album ‘the soft bounce’. part american gothic, part future movie soundtrack, it’s a song of haunting beauty. holly miranda s vocal glides across reflective strings and delicate crystalline snippets of sound, resulting in an epic torch song lament. it’s backed with white crow, erol alkan s mighty extended reworking of the song, placing it in spacious widescreen, where you can hear for miles.

following two radical reinterpretations earlier this summer from truncate and yaleesa hall, which earned plays from roman flügel, laurent garnier and ben sims to dusky and huxley, kameras ventoux ep is further expanded with two remixes that tastefully expand the producers original vision of uncompromising body music. festival and club favourite george fitzgerald is on hand first, delivering a blistering remix of cosignia, one of his personal favourite club records in recent times. here, fitzgerald continues his masterful streak of production, knowingly blending the somewhat menacing machine throb of the original with a suspenseful bassline, eventually culminating in a heavenly, ethereal breakdown, one thats certain to leave bigger rooms in throes. meanwhile, throwing snows remix of title track ventoux deconstructs the bright, idm inspired anthem into something equally frenetic yet utterly different. punchy live drums begin to escalate over a deeply satisfying electronic snarl, recalling throwing snows noted fascination with post-rock, while maintaining the tempo with naturally evolving elements of industrial and ebm

sensation/clear was phantasys momentous fiftieth release, and the first studio transmission from daniel avery since his acclaimed lp, drone logic. now, both tracks are remixed in distinctive fashion by two fellow outliers on the fringes of psychedelic, experimental techno. acclaimed producer and eaux records mastermind rrose commits a typically ambitious and sonically experimental redux to sensation. while retaining much of the originals hypnotic, almost celestial groove, its atmospherics are transformed into something altogether more alien and overwhelming, culminating in an epic yet utterly earned conclusion of visceral noise. abdulla rashim meanwhile guides the sound of clear into deeper territory still, engineering an initially unassuming remix that ultimately reveals layer upon layer of painstaking detail. polyrhythmic bass lines interlock expertly from the beginning, gradually unfolding while never relenting.

taken from the acclaimed debut lp ‘the soft bounce’, phantasy is proud to present expansive remixes of two album tracks. daniel avery ramps up the atmosphere with an airy, drifting electronic mantra, pulsing with gliding motorik propulsion perfect for late night escapades. on the flip side, btu, an amalgamation of phantasy producers babe terror and u, take album closer ‘third mynd’ and recast it as a mind opening sixteen minute collage of found sound, drone and atmosphere, a psychedelic opus befitting jon savage’s otherworldly speech. two very distinct trips into the outer reaches of electronic sound. toto, we are not in kansas anymore ...

forceful, industrial and acidic, kamera’s ‘consignia’, taken from his ep ‘ventoux’, arrives reworked by two producers each as uncompromising as the source material. truncate steps up to delivers a remix that further encapsulates his precise vision of deep, raw techno. choosing to boldly strip back the foundations of the original track, his powerful rework performs subtle but precise surgery, creating a tense masterpiece of sustain and release, enveloping the dancefloor in thunderous claps and jittering rave samples. meanwhile, the so far elusive yaleesa hall is tapped for an offbeat, dub version of consignia, twisting the track into something altogether darker and stranger. a muddied, dare we say filthy bassline supports a chaotic framework of unpredictable drum patterns and mechanized noise, while still maintaining a hallucinogenic groove as the track’s original elements gasp for air underneath.

hot on the heels of the dream pop single diagram girl, comes creation, the second single taken from beyond the wizards sleeve s forthcoming album, the soft bounce due for release july 1st. erol alkan and richard norris musical odyssey continues with the new single which features the vocals of jane weaver and hannah peel. a hazy, tropicalia infused slice of summer.

lucky, the third single from ghost culture, is a distinct slice of haunting vocal performance and psychedelic electronica. co-produced by erol alkan, it is also perhaps the strongest showcase yet of ghost cultures burgeoning prowess as not only a natural studio experimentalist but also as a confident and compelling songwriter, creating music that’s both instantly memorable and yet always intriguing. complimenting the original recording of lucky is a remix from the pioneering matthew dear in his audion guise, whose celebrated talent for bridging esoteric elements of techno, pop and dub lends itself perfectly to exploring the detailed and subtle layers of ghost cultures unique vision. the remix drops on vinyl and via digital stores in mid september, just head of greenwoods hotly anticipated next london headline show at corsica studios on the 23rd. dont miss it.
