Andrew Weatherall (1963-2020) was a highly influential British DJ, producer, and remixer, renowned for his eclectic taste and innovative approach to music. Emerging from the vibrant London music scene in the late 1980s, Weatherall became a pivotal figure in the development of the acid house and electronic music genres. He gained widespread recognition for his remix of the track "Loaded" by Primal Scream, which helped define the sound of the early '90s and contributed to the rise of the Madchester scene.

Weatherall's work was characterized by a unique blend of genres, seamlessly fusing elements of house, techno, rock, and post-punk. His productions often featured a raw, gritty aesthetic, reflecting his deep understanding of both the dancefloor and the underground music culture. As a DJ, he was known for his captivating sets that traversed a wide range of styles, captivating audiences with his ability to create a hypnotic atmosphere.

Beyond his work as a DJ and producer, Weatherall was also a respected label owner and a key figure in the independent music scene. His label, Rotters Golf Club, showcased a diverse array of artists and sounds, further cementing his legacy as a champion of innovative music.

Weatherall's impact on the music world is profound, and his contributions continue to resonate with artists and fans alike. His passing in 2020 was a significant loss to the music community, but his spirit and influence live on through his extensive body of work and the countless artists he inspired. 

As we publish this mix, it serves as a tribute to his enduring legacy and the inerasable mark he left on the world of music. Rest in peace!

Andrew Weatherall - 10 Days Off, Ghent (27.07.2009)

Gideon Jackson and Rob H - Seduction

FIrst track from the forthcoming EP KVK1100!

Caribbean Things (OUT NOW)

Italian DJ and producer Pancratio lands on Love on the Rocks with ‘Love Letters’, his first EP for the cult Berlin-based label founded by PARAMIDA. The record, another bold and unique entry in the label’s impressive catalogue, arrives after a decade of behind-the-scenes influence and personal artistic evolution for Pancratio, marking a turning point in his journey: from anonymous studio architect to an expressive, full-fledged solo artist.

Pancratio has long been a quiet force in underground music. As the founder of Otta Res Lab, he spent years producing, mixing, and mastering records for other artists, building a reputation among insiders for his meticulous analog workflows and deeply felt soundscapes. Now, with Love Letters, he turns the spotlight on himself.

Crafted in just a matter of weeks during a period of profound personal transition, the EP tells the story of Pancratio’s relocation from Rome to Berlin, a leap of faith that would shape the emotional and sonic narrative of the release. Following a summer immersed in the city's clubs and festivals, the producer returned to the studio with renewed clarity and purpose. What followed was a spontaneous burst of creativity: one track a day, each emerging with fluid ease from his analog-heavy setup.

“I called the record Love Letters because it's a message to all the people I left behind,” Pancratio shared in a personal note. “It’s my way of saying: everything’s going great here. I made the right choice.”

His music caught the attention of PARAMIDA thanks to the encouragement, and quiet hustle, of friends and collaborators Simone de Kunovich and Giammarco Orsini, both longtime allies of Pancratio and contributors to his label One Trip to Avyon. What began as an offhand suggestion turned into a fast-forming collaboration, with Pancratio sending a new track to Paramida every day for a week. The EP took shape naturally from those exchanges.

Pancratio sets the tone from the start on ‘A Neverending Story’, with layers of kicks, vocal samples, huge grooves and deceptively simple and effective percussive loops, then flips the track, without warning, with pads that add unexpected melancholy and emotional depth.

‘Artificial Intelligence’ jumps right into its groove, setting up a left turn into retrofuturistic sci-fi romance. Intimate, softly-spoken vocals lead into an otherworldly, vocoded lullaby, and then Pancratio removes the ground from beneath our feet. Masterfully extending sections of breaks, we’re lifted out of the arrangement before being dropped right back in the deep end, in moments that will destroy dancefloors while enveloping them in complexly touching emotional highs.

From there, the tonal contrasts just get bigger, weirder and more beautiful. ‘I Promise’ builds an irresistible house groove into a hypnotic summer jam, before tearing a hole in it it with a patchwork of vocal samples and off-pitch synths, snapping it out of its comfort zone and into completely unexpected territory before dropping it right back into the deep end. It’s a devastating sequence handled with the lightest touch, mirroring the twists and turns of its subject matter in a moment of sublime sonic storytelling.

Love Letters continues Pancratio’s pursuit of emotional depth through minimalist, analog-rooted production. Each track is a one-take from start to finish, recorded straight from his hardware setup and only minimally mastered, evoking a tactile sense of warmth and spontaneity rarely found in today’s digital-heavy landscape. 

Love Letters is not only a new chapter in Pancratio’s artistic evolution, it’s a heartfelt message delivered in music: to friends, to places once called home, and to everyone just now discovering his world.

LOTR029 Pancratio - Love Letters

As a member of W.H. Lung, Tom Sharkett has provided electronics for one of the best bands in the UK, including on their most recent, critically acclaimed LP, ‘Every Inch of Earth Pulsates’. These DIY, indie-oriented experimentations have slowly led Sharkett to unexpected places as a solo artist in club culture, via the portal of Manchester’s legendary venue, The White Hotel, where he was inspired by inspired by cult nights such as Red Lazer and Wet Play, 

Sharkett has since collaborated with artists such as System Olympia and Raf Rundell, as well as appearing on Optimo Music and Okay Nature Records. His subtle, spirited edit of LCD Soundsystem’s ‘Home’, released as a bootleg in early 2025, has recently re-emerged on DFA Records as an official release, just in time to become an unusual wistful summer anthem. 

Sharkett captures this fruitful moment in a contribution to Phantasy’s long-running mix series, which features a smattering of currently unreleased material, while bridging Cabaret Voltaire, Slowdive, Eden Burns and even Chappel Roan. True to the eclectic philosophy of Sharkett’s DJ and production trip so far, PHANTASYMIX 53 is a rare trip.
