Ambient Babestation Meltdown, otherwise known as Rachael Williams, is a true character. Her sets gravitate towards records old and new that pulse with energy, irony and intelligence, a sort of thinking-person’s party DJ, yet far less annoying than that might sound. As one half of DiASKi, alongside Joe Brooke-Smith, she produces sci-fi tinted trippers that will soon emerge on a debut record from DBA, and recently provided some different dystopian flavours to the newly maskless masses at Gala Festival.

After delivering the mix, Ambient Babestation Meltdown briefly spoke to John Loveless about her musical heritage and selection. Read the accompanying interview here: https://shop.phantasysound.co.uk/blogs/news/phantasymix-39-ambient-babestation-meltdown

BODY HAMMER X FOLD

Machining Dreams w. Hakim Murphy invites G Marcell on the latest episode of machining dreams!! Since Hakim's youth, he believes that music has touched him in a way that made him fall in love with its rhythms, harmonies, and melodies. So in the natural progression dancing took over his body, but yet his soul craved for more and that is when playing records surfaced. Ah, then the fascination with the fast dance tracks turned into deep House production through friends and experiences, which then blossomed into a Bachelor’s degree in music composition. Liberal arts training allowed him to take classes and learn about human intellect, nature, and essentially develop his personal definition of art. Synapsis Records and Machining Dreams record labels are born and are currently releasing music by, for, and from the underground. Then after learning the craft, collaborations were born as he is part of In Pegasus Heat, Resonating, Hardware Hustlerz, Slowmotion and Dream Scoring. G. Marcell: Words of inspiration to get the world moving 360 positive. If no one today have told you that you are loved let me be the first, you are loved. G.Marcell started spinning at 89.3 WKKC on Sound Waves in Chicago on Saturday back in 1991 (as Suga Bear). In between now and then G. Marcell have beat up clubs and parties from Chicago to Indiana on up to Michigan. As far as releases go, in 2002 dropping his first E.P. w/ Bumpincity entitled “The Definition Of G. Marcell” was the start of his journey as a producer. Since then, G. Marcell have worked and produced remixes for different underground labels such as, Underground Uncensored, Noble Square Recordings (NSR), Synapsis, Minimalizm and also have started his own label. And for artist that he have worked with…….. Well………… Ricardo Miranda, Amir Alexander, Hakim Murphy and more. As of now he continues to produce and remix music and stay on a spiritual plane in the process.

Machining Dreams w. Hakim Murphy [16.09.2021]

The man behind our latest Ransom Note Records release, over the last few years Belfast-born producer LOR AKA Lunar Orbit Rendezvous has shown he's equally comfortable dreaming up lush, vintage electro as he is soothing ambient soundscapes. 

His 'Faith/Reason' LP, which came out in June of this year, is an ambient tapestry that traverses the boundaries of space that we find during the twilight hours — "when the world stands still for a second and we're reminded of the fragility of the lives we inhabit."

The long player followed a string of previous releases on the likes of Cin Cin, Exit Strategy and Get Physical, as well as his acclaimed eponymous debut album: the inaugural release on his own LOREC label.

For today's Monday Is OK mix, he welcomes us into a fresh week with a collection of ambient influences and discoveries, harmonically mixed for optimum bliss.

LOR: The 'Monday Is OK' Mix

Ali Tillett is a DJ, label manager and agency founder. He has worked tirelessly behind the scenes for many years helping to assist in the careers of some of the most pivotal dj's and artists of this generation.

However, he is also equally talented in his own right and he also knows more than a thing or two about records. This much is clear from the evolution of his record label Re:Warm - a reissue focussed imprint which has unearthed some forgotten gems from far and wide, breathing life into music which might never have resurfaced otherwise.

Re:Warm has released material by Margaret Wakeley, Winston Neale, The Hurricanes, Lucky Mereki and many more.

The recent release of a sprawling compilation which featured music from the likes of Ame, Bobby Lee and Richard Norris is perhaps the most influential offering from the label to date.

This mix showcases the versatility of Ali as a DJ and the variable excellence his label has become accustomed for.

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: The electronic music scene can be a very competitive, harsh, male- dominated environment. Don’t let that intimidate you. Don’t forget the reason why you first started doing this, enjoy the ride, enjoy the process (even the mistakes), practice (a lot), be patient, trust yourself, be humble, be kind, don’t compare yourself to others (even though it might be hard)and have fun!

Snippet of Richard Fearless' next single Gamma Ray on Drone

Brand new single from Death In Vegas frontman Richard Fearless on his Drone imprint. Debut single 'Higher Electronic States' premiered on Dummy, Ransom Note and The Drone.  

Welcome to the second aural outpouring from the world of Drone, the London-based label from producer, artist and Death In Vegas guiding light Richard Fearless, now firmly established as an artist in his own right. Earlier this summer Drone laid down its debut mandate in the form of Fearless' own Higher Electronic States, which picked up plaudits from corners far and wide.
 
Discussing the second single Richard says "With Higher Electronic States I wanted to make a record to end my sets with, Gamma Ray is something much deeper. I wanted to create a timeless stark, minimal, desolate landscape of a track."
 
And he's done just that, creating one of those rare things in electronic music, a song with longevity. A piece of finely crafted techno of the highest order; 
 
"I obsessed over Gamma Ray. spending a week on the drum sound alone". 
 
To make matters all the more enticing he's enlisted the supreme talent that is Legowelt to rework the track. Stripping it back further to its core elements this is pure heads music from Danny Wolfers, another extreme audiophile. The depth, texture and atmosphere he injects into the track completes what is an exceptional and significant second release from Drone.  
 
"I feel like I've made the record that is true to this vision." We wouldn't disagree.
 
Having recently taken in part in an RBMA lecture in their Russian headquarters and an appearance at the hallowed turf of Golden Pudel planned for later in the year, the world of Richard Fearless and Drone is in its ascendancy.
 
Dancefloor distortion and other musical explorations, created in the Metal Box, Drone releases oscillations in many forms, further transmissions incoming.

“On Juneteenth I put together this mix. This is a 100% black mix, all the music here is either composed by black folx, or performed by black folx. There are also speeches, and poetry, and moments that comment on Black Liberation in this mix. Genres span speeches, jazz, drone, opera, classical, and synths. Instead of a simple tracklist, I have put together some information on the artists, including where you can learn more about them. I learned some about black history putting this together, and I hope you learn some too.” - Arushi
