Heidi Sabertooth (@heidisabertooth) and Drakkar Noir (aka R Gamble @rgamble) are both core members of Lost Soul Enterprises (@lost-soul-enterprises), a New York based label and platform for analog experiments and mutant sounds past and present: wave, electro, body music, and all things in between. This EP represents the first time these two artists have appeared together on the same release.

The title of the EP, 'The Sleep of Reason' is inspired by the famous Goya etching (The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters).  It is intended as both a homage to a visionary artist and a reflection that the sentiment in the artwork resonates particularly today.

Both artists approach music production using primarily analog hardware and synthesizers, rather than computers. 

'The Sleep of Reason' showcases two well-seasoned artists flexing a mastery of their machines, delivering subterranean electro, techno and body music. Gritty, murky basslines meet squelching melodies and alien vocals, all with the vibrant, present, live-wire energy of a hardware set performed in a smoky, crowded basement, rather than programmed within the confines of a studio.

Side A: Drakkar Noir
1) free delight
2) shadow reel
3) foot a night vine
4) strobah

Side B: Heidi Sabertooth 
1) This Time I'll Quit You for Good
2)  It Says You Read It
3) Smoking In the Studio
4) I’m Gaining Weight Again

All tracks written and produced by Heidi Sabertooth & Drakkar Noir, mastered by João Melo, artwork by dabecy.

Release date: May 7, 2021

Xi'an-born and Toronto-based producer, pianist, and DJ Ciel steps up for the next Phonica Mix with a slow building club room warm up. With a selection of deep and chugging bass, house and techno this is a mix that equally see itself lending its ears to the home listener as well as the club dancefloor frequenters. Its this diverse sound that has seen Ciel take the helms of some of the greatest clubs, festivals, radio shows and podcasts as well as releasing solid records on labels like Mister Saturday Night, Peach Discs, Coastal Haze and more her sound is truly solidified through these outputs. We are delighted to have Ciel join us ahead of some of her amazing shows this year like Kala Festival & Multi Multi(Where we will also be hosting a 20 Years Of Phonica Stage). We had a chat with Ciel about the mix and about some of the releases she has coming up.

Kiernan Laveaux comes in here, with her exciting take on what we could call ‘making full use of our mixing gear’. Keeping the spirit alive of Ron Hardy in the few interviews she did, it really makes sense in regards of the mutual playfulness in the art of DJing. 
The character of this mix bright and weird, something that gains feelings of hope and liberation. A trip that pulsates and stretches with loopy looping, that makes it breath & constrict at times. Kiernan guides us so smooth and kindly through many different cosmic passages. Wavy landscapes without losing any of warmth or euphoria.
Kiernan is from Cleveland, an affiliate of the T4T LUV NRG label & a part of Sweet Abyss - where this mix was recorded live, amidst various gay psychedelic vibes. Thanks Kiernan!

“This mix is 70 minutes transmitted live & direct from my brain at one of the transgender dance music focused Sweet Abyss events I helped to create in 2023, opening for my lovely friend Tabasheer. Recommended listening on a walk by yourself, in a room with strange lighting, or riding up & down life’s escalators”

Silent Servant's sound is a reinterpretation of early '80s post-punk electronics, paired with the deep, metallic sounds of Basic Channel and Downwards.
