next erol alkan floor bombs --- spectrum reminds me a bit on lil louis - french kiss...

so gerd and philipp were due to play xoyo one saturday night and the club is 6 minutes from my studio so i suggested we go there first to make tunes for a few hours. we made 2 songs that night and one of them is ‘reach out’. gerd did the drums on my 808, philipp wrote the beautiful lead part on my obxa and i did the bass in my cs80. i added the words a couple of weeks later, they are inspired by leonard cohen’s letter to his muse marianne ihlen on her deathbed. (joe goddard) including fantastic remixes by erol alkan and osborne.

alkan explores the fringes of club melancholy on remixes first for old friends hot chip, whose boy from school builds and builds to dancefloor catharsis, while mockasins forever dolphin love maintains the whimsical qualities of the original, even when shot through with an irresistible bassline.

pop remixes in two different shades from alkan, first of all reworking the scissor sisters once-inescapable i dont feel like dancing into something unrecognizably spectral and shimmering, while metronomys classic the bay receives a deft edit that instead just tips it slightly towards the dancefloor.

musics favourite robotic pair receive an uncompromising, post-rave rework from the london dj, signalling their already fearsome the brainwasher in weirder directions still. on the flip, legendary pianist and entertainer gonzales finds his tinkling/rapping combo never stop transformed into a very analogue, jackin club tool built around his tongue-in-cheek spoken verse.

franz ferdinands second-lp single do you want to? receives an almost comically overblown, seemingly endless intro from alkan, before dissolving into cosmic electro ecstasy. meanwhile, the yeah yeah yeahs receive an unexpected and somewhat gnarly chicago inspired renovation that kicks like a mule

(erol alkan rmx) slip into your tin foil hat and do the maskindans, its almost album time (not again!)

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.

sub concious was originally conceived as the exclusive track for erol alkans fabriclive 77 mix, which was released to major critical acclaim back in august. a highlight track within the mix, sub conscious has now been remixed by tin man and new phantasy signing kamera.

erol alkan delivers two reworks of the manic street preachers track >europa geht durch mich<. while mesmerise eins takes the track on a peak-time acid trip, the warped out mesmerise zwei comes ready for the blurred moments just before sunrise. both mixes feature the voice of german actress nina hoss. europa geht durch mich was originally recorded in berlins legendary hansa studios. it is taken from manic street preachers forthcoming 12th album futurology.exclusively on vinyl via phantasy, limited to just 300 copies.

andy meecham is a man of many musical incarnations and has been since the early 90s. following on from projects like the now dormant bizarre inc and revived dub-disco duo chicken lips, it is as the emperor machine that he explores his most experimental sounds. to date there have been three full length albums on dc recordings after the project was initially started with the idea of creating music using just one synth, the roland sh-3a. the results lay out the staffordshire mans love of vintage synthesisers for all to see, and combine tough edged disco beats with more cerebral cosmic melodies into alluring soundscapes that bend your mind and drive your feet. as well as a slew of 12s and lps, the emperor machine has also turned his hand to remixes of giants like moby, daft punk and royksopp, and has previously taken a live and inspiringly psychedelic incarnation of the project to clubs and festivals across the planet.

after the success of erol alkans debut illumination ep, phantasy is proud to present the first remix 12inch. man make musics u - delivers a psychedelic freakbeat version of check out your mind, while chicago producer and recent l.i.e.s. signing beau wanzer offers a mesmerizingly propulsive, mechanical rework of bang.

with six years of covetable releases under its belt its safe to say that erol alkans flourishing phantasy label is well on its way to establishing itself as the uks preeminent purveyor of independent music. 2013 has been a particularly golden year with daniel averys critically acclaimed debut lp dropping in early october, sao paulo wunderkind babe, terrors btu project with man make musics u, recent collaborations with emperor machines andy meecham as future four and disco mavericks in flagranti and a slice of perfect summer pop from nadia ksaiba, not to mention connan mockasins upcoming sophomore opus caramel and the debut release from mysterious new signing ghost culture.

at the end of 2006, erol alkan was at a crossroads. he’d been voted dj of the year by mixmag. he’dmade landmark, expectation-defying remixes for bands he loved: a crunching “glam racket” reworking of ‘do you want to’ for franz ferdinand, a wonderfully wistful reinterpretation of hop chip’s ‘boy from school’, a psychedelic take on scissor sisters’ ‘i don’t feel like dancing’ and a genre-defining reworking of justice’s ‘waters of nazereth’.

switch and erol alkan come together on what is possibly phantasys heaviest release to date. saturated acid lines, scratches, vocal snippets and the biggest kick drum this side the planet 808 dominate a track originally conceived back in 2009. brilliant remixes come from night slugs co-founder bok bok, and new yorks willie burns whos recent release on l.i.e.s has been staple in erol alkans sets for musch of 2012. released on limited edition acid splash vinyl. artwork by greek artist dimitris rokos, label and postcard design by north internet

die musikwelt war hochgespannt, als nach zehnjähriger pause ein neues new order album erscheinen sollte. dass der inzwischen fünfköpfigen band mit -music complete- aber ein solcher -return to form- (spex) gelingen würde, haben so einige nicht mehr erwartet. der nun vorliegenden, neuen new order-single -singularity- attestierte der musikexpress zudem, sie würde einiges der -blue monday--dna in sich tragen. und in der tat ist der song mit seiner einmaligen balance aus rock und elektronik, dunkel, energiegeladen und tanzbar, die perfekte sound-symbiose von ursprungsband joy division und der sich hier auftürmenden, grunderneuerten new order.
die farbige 4-track 12 inch enthält einen extended mix und remixe von mark reeder, erol alkan und js zeiter und erscheint inklusive downloadcode .

this one is with morgan phalen, from a band called diamond nights that we love but went unnoticed 6/7 years ago. he lives in los angeles and we had him come over to paris to record. we wrote the lyrics with him and tried, as always, not to sound too stupid, avoiding clichés like come to the dancefoor, but without pretending to be bob dylan either. our lyrics are always a bit quirky. if they sound good and theres a little edge or something fun to them, were happy.
