It's been an easy, fun, deep summer.  This group makes up a good chunk of the tracks I've had on repeat.  Made this playlist to share the good times and remind myself of what it was like when it starts getting cold again in Berlin :)

TWINS is the paranoid outsider-pop project of Atlanta-based producer Matt Weiner. Having spent the better part of a decade reveling in a mutant murk that intersects seductive synth-pop with Featureless Ghost and grotesque industrial-dance grooves in his own right as TWINS on LPs issued by Ruralfaune and Clan Destine, Weiner has more than proved his sincerely sinister and auspiciously artful finesse of synth-based music. Operating from his home studio, arrayed with various tools of the trade, Weiner culls his subtle scourges of sound with an unending sense of bold exploration, processing tracks of rhythmic, aural catharsis.

Now returning with the Love Is A Luxury 12-inch, a two-track EP co-released by Weiner's own CGI and Geographic North, TWINS ventures deep into the collected unconscious of our singular broken heart. Elegantly expansive and densely fluid, each track a fragmented careen of erotic house music. With more than an eye on the dancefloor and an ear for hypnotic luster, A-side "Love Runs Deep" hosts dubby house perfectly suited for Basic Channel's low-end minimalism. B-side "The Empty Deep" conveys the desolate counterpoint, enchanting in its sullen hysteria.

Weiner's dubby explorations of an exposed vulnerability manifest in the vinyl itself, containing and exposing both tracks with complete transparency, baring themselves on clear crimson wax.

01 Love Runs Deep

This track is a reinterpretation of Nostalgia, a track released earlier this year on Plurpura Records' Duality compilation. This time, it features the vocals of Baridi Baridi, a wonderful artist and friend I had the pleasure of meeting in person late last year. We took that time to listen to this track together, imagining the moment it would be released. I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed the creation process. 
For that bittersweet feeling that envelops you when recalling past moments that now only live in memory; for that bridge connecting a present thought with memories of moments that no longer exist; for that mix of joy and melancholy for something that marked you but is simply no longer there. “Nostalgia"

Nostalgia

Church is back in action with their second various artists compilation featuing brand new productions from DJ Aakmael, Aquarium, Laurence Guy & Debukas. Church has definitely been a label to watch lately after they released one of the best selling records of the year from Mall Grab but we've also been keeping an eye on another artist from the label who's been making music for a long time but only recently started to get the attention he deserves. Laurence Guy has recently dropped some great solo EP's on Church and Rose Records and contributed to compilations and split EP's on CinCin and Outplay but his latest addition to Churches Volumes 002 has the entire Phonica crew tapping our feet and nodding our heads in approval! It's strength lies in its subtlety, 'Wish I Knew' is a stripped back and piece of House music which effortlessly plays with tension and release.  Listen to it in Laurence Guy's 'Wish I Knew' down below in full down and reserve your copy now. j.mp/Wish_I_Knew

Shoreline is a groovy dance-track inspired by jazz and funk. Quite satisfied with the flow and feel. It features one of my favourite sounds, the rhodes piano, accompanied with a funky bass line and some field recordings from a nearby beach. Hope you like it!

Dortmund hero Mr. Fries is back on Wolf Music and adds a third EP to his list of contributions on the label's catalog. Always true to himself, Mr. Fries delivers another brillant work featuring four Deep-House cuts and two low-tempo tracks. The EP is widely influenced by Jazz music, more than ever, and the result is incredibly smooth and ubtil, reaching its peaktime on the track "Getright".
