Voyaging between the stars he watched from a small window looking out upon the flickering missiles in the dense black of midnight. It were as if he were a small bubble, floating through outer space, a mere dot, an insignificant entity against a vast backdrop. He did not feel small though. His destination was clear and it had been for a long time. Planet Arrakis wasn't far away now and soon they would touch down upon a new earth in which utopia and freedom would be plentiful and for all. This was the dream of the stars. 

Francesco Mami understands house music, this new EP is a vinyl only affair and comes rounded off by a remix from none other than Fred P. This is forthcoming on Bar Musica and we guarantee that it will transport you into all sorts of outer territories.

Outlander - Vamp (Original Mix)

Francesco Mami is back on Rhythm Cult with a brand-new EP called "Oceans of Caledan" that displays his excellent rhythmic ability and deep techno aesthetic. After delivering a remix of Dan Wild's "From The Earth" that destroyed dance floors, Mami now releases an EP that is sure to enthral label lovers.

"Oceans of Caledan," a four-track EP, offers proof of Mami's distinctive sound. Piter (Ageless Mix), the album's opening track, hypnotizes the listener with an intense tribal groove, complicated conga patterns, and deep bass. With glitchy voices that pop in and out of the mix and a swinging bass rhythm that drives the song forward, "Hulud," a collaboration with renowned French producer Julien Chaptal, is a stunning deep exploration. The more experimental "Idaho" was created in partnership with London-based producer Mooday Waters. The song keeps the groove rolling while pushing the boundaries of electronic music with dissonant chimes and searing acid static. The EP is completed with "Duncan," a joint effort with Eric D. Clark, who adds soulful, spaced-out vocals to Mami's recognizable dark tribal sounds. The vocals of Eric D. Clark, who is well known for his work at Whirlpool Productions, give the song more depth and take it to a higher level.

Francesco Mami's skill as a producer and his capacity to create intricate rhythms that keep the listener interested are on full display in the superb EP "Oceans Of Caledan". This publication will undoubtedly draw more people to the Cult.

Thanks for your support.

Erol Alkan welcomes Joshua James to Phantasy for his debut release ‘Coarse’ featuring The Bunker NY producer Justin Cudmore on remix duties.

A fixture of London’s dedicated queer club scene, James maintains a trio of distinct residencies, including XOYO, the notorious 'Savage' parties, as well as fortnightly on Rinse FM. On this unapologetic and upfront track, the DJ-turned-producer instantaneously captures the raw energy and sexuality that underpin his life by night, backed by a remix from a key figure in the US underground, Justin Cudmore.

Designed with sweatboxes and serious sound-systems in mind, ‘Coarse’ wastes no time in establishing its rude intent; hammering jack-bass, orgasmic cut-up vocals and larger-than-life synthlines flirt expertly from the off, before the track descends into outright sleaze in the spirit the of gnarlier edge of acid-house. Only a series of breathless gasps indicate you’ve safely reached the other side... A personal weapon for James each week behind the decks, as well as for Phantasy founder, Erol Alkan, ‘Coarse’ is a powerful dancefloor paean with only one (well, maybe two) things on its mind.

Having turned heads with his own uncompromising acidic perspectives on labels such as The Bunker NY, Phonica White and Honey Soundsystem, New York-based DJ and producer Justin Cudmore unfurls ‘Coarse’ in a trippier, deeper direction, nonetheless still bumping in a style that subtly recalls the peak-time sound of classic 90s NYC clubs like The Tunnel.

Coarse (Justin Cudmore Remix)

Occasionally the stars align to create something truly special. Well, without beating around the bush, that’s what we’ve got for you here. Not only a classic Legowelt hymn that’s ripe for a revisit but three quality remixers (Tuff City Kids, Catz 'N Dogz and Younger Rebinds aka Benny Rodrigues) turning in scandalously good remixes for Cocoon Recordings. Yes, we’re spoiling you...but you’re worth it!

Disco Rout first surfaced in 2002. The electro revival that had ushered in the new millennium was in full swing and this was to prove a seminal tune, being voted track of the year by Groove magazine. As if to prove a point the bass line still grabs you the moment it drops, while the laser-guided melodies feel as relevant today as they ever did. Fusing the past with a neon future, Legowelt’s complex interwoven elements fit like a glove and the clarity of the mix makes everything seem effortless. Maybe that‘s why it’s such a fascinating track to revisit, having already been remixed over the years by the likes of Deetron, Johannes Heil and Freeform Five.

Anyway, this current crop of remixes are equally top notch starting with Tuff City Kids who do what they do best, serving up an organic, conga driven workout complete with percolating synthetic percussion, cut up vocals and silky smooth choral pads. Warping and flanging the original riffs into an infectious, state-of-the-art revamp, they stay true to the retro vibe with added emphasis on the vocal hook for a more pronounced breakdown that briefly trips out before regrouping and taking flight once more. 

Following hot on their heels is a screamer from Catz ’N Dogz who drop the tempo slightly, layering a metallic cowbell motif over a tough, robotic disco groove that adds extra swagger to the bass line. The original parts gradually spiral into view, cranking up the pressure till we hit a solid state of euphoria that in turn, disintegrates into freaky alien chatter. There’s no let up though, as squawking synths lock on to the rhythm and everything evolves into a full-on percussive outro.

So far, so fantastic. You would think there’s nowhere left to go after being blasted into outer space a couple of times already but we’re not done yet. Last but not least, Dutch master Benny Rodrigues aka ROD steps up under his Younger Rebinds alias with even more intensity than demonstrated on last year’s ‘Sound of Benny EP’ on Running Back. Picking apart the original with almost forensic attention to detail, he gives new life to each individual strand with an exhilarating mix that seems destined to leave its mark on dance floors around the globe throughout the summer and beyond. The second of his two remixes is included here, both having featured on a much sought after Cocoon Recordings limited edition white label. Remix two compliments the precision of the first with a more freestyle approach that’s in one hell of a rush to get going. The bass line rips through the mix, hihats scurry toward the cavernous, arpeggiated breakdown and we’re drenched in reverb as the synths dovetail dangerously, all the while paying homage to the hi-octane energy of the original. Rodriguez effortlessly toys with the crowd, frying the synapses and gorging on serotonin, as the mix motors relentlessly to its conclusion.

The Disco Rout remix EP is a shameless riot of sound that succeeds in doing something very special - by staying true to Legowelt’s vision, the artists involved not only demonstrate their notable skills as remixers but reaffirm the quality of a classic and timeless piece of music.

Out now on Rebellion: lnk.to/RBL072

Italian natives Francesco Mami and SB-Unit get ready to release the ​Old Memory EP​ on Rebellion this July, delivering a delicate and mesmerizing four track journey.

“The “Old Memory” EP is the result of a path undertaken with my genuine friend SB-Unit: a journey focused on believing in ourselves, developing an intimate sound and the ability to express our roots. I can't be anything but grateful for this release.” - ​Francesco Mami

Roll The Dice o​ pens the EP and sets the tone as the rolling bassline gets to work. Next up, ​Lost In The Toilette​ lays down a sub groove whilst leaving room for the chords and bass notes to gradually build throughout. ​Old Memory​ follows, providing an upfront and energetic cut, as a delayed melody builds towards revealing itself in full. ​Keep On​ rounds off the release with sonically pleasing atmospheric elements and returns to a more laid-back groove.

Francesco Mami​ grew up in Rimini where he held one of his earliest residences at Le Cocoricò Riccione and has since then earned respect as both a talented producer and DJ, playing across the world at the likes of DC10 and Burning Man. Formerly under the name of DOS, Francesco has released on labels like BPitch Control, Get Physical and Ibadan Records. His solo release on Rhythm Cult Records was the starting point for his new artistic concept, following his monthly DJ residency at Weetamix Geneva and La Macarena Club Barcelona.

SB-Unit​ is the up and coming project from Salvo Buonocore. Inspired by the electronic sound from both Naples and London and after years of musical and technical studies, he is now proud to release his latest works. In addition to producing and DJing, Salvo heads up his own label ​Polluted Records​ alongside co-founder Mick Piscitelli.
