“I had worked with so many other people by this point and Alex had been my engineer for a while that I thought I would ask him if he wanted to make some tracks with me. He was heavily into his techno and I thought we could make something interesting and different” Phantasy explains.  “So it was fun to make tracks with Alex instead of having him engineer for me. It was no different to work with Alex as a producer to when I worked with him as an engineer aside from I would ask what he thought of my ideas instead of just telling him record this or chop that, it was a very relaxed affair!  We went in and we vibed. You can hear Alex’s influence in ‘Spirit Come Down’ – that heavy kick drum. That was the techno influence. By this point in 1993 I had moved away from the jungle techno sound and was more about the breakbeats”.

“Alex was a pretty quiet person; he was also new to engineering and production. If you listen to those tracks and then what he released after on his own, you can tell these tunes were heavily influenced by me. I brought the big bag of records to sample to the studio that day. I always like to share ideas with people I’m in the studio with. But to be honest I don’t care if he did more or I did more, we went in together to make a tune and we came up with two monsters. I don’t get caught up on ‘I done this and you done that’; we just gelled together and created a vibe of that time. The riff was so sick, i remember that sound when we found it, it was like ‘Yeah that is sick!!!’ Like I say, I’m pretty sure he influenced the 4×4 kick as I was already deep in the breakbeat vibe but, those days were hazy man. It was a long time ago!” Phantasy recalls.

“Looking back, I think it may well have been his first release because he had just been learning the ropes with Jack Smooth so yeah, it probably was. He was a very quiet and shy person who smoked a lot of cigarettes, so I knew if I ever ran out, he had me covered! Ron was cool about stuff, he didn’t have his claws into people, he wasn’t protective. Ron just helped people and sadly some people just took his kindness and ran with it and never looked back. Me on the other hand have always loved and respected what Ron has done not just for me but for this scene in the early days. He’s an absolute legend and more people from back then need to come and acknowledge what he done for them at the start of their journey. But to answer your question, Ron never got involved in my label stuff and I never got involved in his, we just vibed together at his studio. The studio was like a social hub, a place where creatives could go to link up and get creative. It’s where I met people like Martin “Mayhem’ Ikin, Aphrodite, Wax Doctor, Alex Hazzard plus many more.”

I wanted to pick Phantasy’s brains a bit more “Why didn’t you ever make another Reece Project?”

Phantasy responds “That’s a funny story bro. You see back then I use to put my number on my records. And one day I get this call out of the blue from someone saying they were the Reese Project and why was I releasing as them? I just hadn’t thought at the time that there was this other US group called Reese Project with an S that released poppy kinda stuff. To be honest, I could have argued that mine was a different spelling. But I didn’t bother. I explained to them that the guy I was working with was called Alex Reece and that it was a project I was doing with him. I can’t remember if it was the band or their manager who called me. But I agreed we wouldn’t press any more of that record, so that’s why there are so few around, think it was just 1000. We never made another Reece Project after that!”

This old tape is one of my prize possessions from when I lived in Portsmouth. It doesn't appear anywhere else online (I don't think) and while it's a bit sketchy on 'permission' to upload, it's a shame to have this beauty collecting dust, forgotten in the attic. A bit of 21st century mastering has been applied, to polish a bit of brightness to it too.
