Michael Vater, better known in music circles as Phonique, has carved out a rich niche for himself in the crowded world of electronic music. Widely regarded as one of the nicest guys in the scene, Vater has come a long way from his humble beginnings in Cologne, fully establishing himself as both a father of the Berlin club scene and a much loved ambassador for house and electronic music all around the world. With way over 100 releases and his own boutique house label Ladies & Gentlemen, Phonique has taken his signature grooves all over the world - more than 50 countries at last count. With countless production and remix credits plus three full albums under his belt, 'Best Of Phonique' is a timely reminder of what makes this artist such a treasure, represented in 23 tracks. 

Long time collaborator Erlend Øye features twice as a guest vocalist - 'For the Time Being' and 'Casualties' both being essential reference points in Phonique's back catalogue. Originally released in 2005, 'For the Time Being' could be the blueprint for many of today's nu-disco producers, classic Vater - melancholic and uplifting at the same time. 

Another landmark collaboration in Vater's discography was with Ian Whitelaw, whose sublime vocals feature on 'Our Time Our Chance', 'Trouble' and 'You That I'm With'. Originally released on Phonique's first album 'Identification' in 2004, 'You That I'm With' is a gorgeous slice of electronic synth pop, while 'Our Time Our Chance' from 2010 is more focused on the deeper reaches of the dance floor, and was widely regarded as one of the tracks of that year. 'Trouble' is a beautifully relaxing and jazzy song with a swinging shuffle beat. Volker Meitz, a jazzy Piano-specialist and recording with Jazzanova, Sonar Kollektiv, Compost, K7 contributed the keyboards - including the dreamy solo.

Elsewhere Phonique continues to display his passion for collaboration with talented vocalists. 'Feel What You Want' highlights the divine sound of Rebecca while 'Endless Love' showcases Louie Austen. 

Phonique's deft touch for creating affecting and beautiful electronic pop music with strong links to the dance floor is fully in evidence on every track. 

Probably the most straight up dance floor track here is 'Divertimento' - a deep burner feat. Guti, with slight Latin swing to it - no doubt a result of Phonique's strong links to the underground scene in Brazil. 

Also included are 'Blindfolded' and 'Space Cruise' which Phonique recorded with Gui Boratto in Sao Paolo - a perfect fusion between Phonique‘s deepness and Gui Boratto‘s exceptional sound aesthetic.

Downtempo sweetener 'Amy’s Heart' contains lyrics by Ruben who was already featured on Phonique's 'Good Idea' album and made this beautiful comback on his third album 'Kissing Strangers'.

Furthermore recent and less recent tracks like 'Roses feat. Data MC and Marc Hype', 'Vincent Price', 'Baku', the 2010 version of 'The Passion' and Tiefschwarz's remix of 'The Red Dress' alongside the best EP tracks perfectly complement this best of collection representing the vast spectrum of Phonique’s creative output.

We’re kicking off 2025 with a bang—Chicago’s @hiroko-yamamura-1 crawls back from being banned from social media for being spicy with a new mix for the Spandau20 fam!📼 

Repping Chicago’s legendary underground, Hiroko brings the city’s signature energy while carving out her unique edge in techno and house. Inspired by classic sci-fi, dark anime, and her introspective outlook, Hiroko creates a sound that speaks to those who might not always feel like they fit the mold. On the dancefloor, she transforms isolation into connection, paying tribute to the House, Acid, and techno sounds that shaped Chicago’s rave scene while infusing her sets with relentless passion and individuality.✨ 

Her SPND20 Mixtape is nothing short of a sonic adventure. From driving rhythms and high-octane beats to immersive soundscapes that blend acid, industrial, tribal, and melodic influences, Hiroko delivers a cohesive yet unpredictable journey. Nostalgia weaves through the set with reimagined classics and rave-rooted energy, while dark, atmospheric textures pull you into haunting, hypnotic depths. Just when you think you’ve found your footing, playful, funky grooves add bursts of vibrant energy, keeping the momentum dynamic and alive.🔊 

Hit play, turn it up, and let Hiroko guide you into a world where every track tells a story.🖤

<B>Joris Voorn: "Here's the tape that made me wanna be a DJ.<B/>

Derrick May is one of our main headliners at Rejected's Amsterdam Dance Event 2012 night at Studio 80, 18th of october.
Since my early dj days, I consider Derrick May as a huge inspiration, and in particular this dj set. Broadcasted live in 1996 from the legendary Chemistry night at Escape, Amsterdam. It was recorded from midnight radio by my partner in crime Edwin Oosterwal who borrowed me the cassette tape which I never gave back to him, which reminds me I should do that sometime soon.

In this mix, Derrick May shows us that in 1996 dance wasn't pigeonholed to one style or sound. He mixes Moodymann's groovy deephouse with Jeff Mills and Surgeon's raw techno. He goes from Donna Summer's disco to Tyree Cooper's jacking electronic funk, from Masters of Work's new york house to Ian Pooley's epic chord techno. All of this is mixed in a fast and skillful pace, a style that so clearly carries Derrick's signature.

There's some truly magical moments in this mix, how he get's out of Surgeon's 'Syllable' into Global Communication's 'Sensorama' at 1:09 leaves me speechless..

Even though by now I know most of the record he plays here, there's still a few I've been looking since the very first time I heard this mix. Would be great to get the tracklist completed, any help is greatly appreciated!
