"Don’t lie to me, don’t waste my time. Don’t lie to me, it’s all about You.”

Josh Caffé continues a stellar run of singles on Phantasy with the raw energy of ‘You’, accompanied by an equally propulsive rework from label founder, Erol Alkan.

Produced alongside regular collaborator Quinn Whalley of Paranoid London, who recently turned in a warehouse-primed take on Caffe’s last single ‘Meine Lederjeans’, Caffé’s defiant lyrics ride a high-tempo concoction of vintage drum machines and vampish chords. Dripping in authentic, percussive tension and emotional vulnerability, ‘You’ further speaks to Caffé’s deep schooling in the legacy and potential of house music.

Erol Alkan turns his own intimate knowledge of the genre into a spacious reimagining that strips back Caffé’s vocals, while keeping his demands front-and-center. Burrowing acid lines develop alongside Chicago-indebted drums, always returning to an enormous, irresistible bassline, as instantly effective as anything in Alkan’s celebrated back-catalogue of reworks.

Push It (Original)

The sky had always fascinated her. During the day she'd dream about the possibilities of what lay beyond the clouds and far above the atmos; at night there was even more to ruminate on. Sometimes she felt she belonged up their amongst the stars; earth wasn't for her, she didn't feel as though she belonged anywhere. Could technology make it possible and were money no option, she'd have packed her bags long ago and headed far above the planet. For now she'd have to continue to dream. 

R.A.N.D. Muzik Recordings keep up their stellar output with a new release from Reflex Blue, a new name on the block in Australia. The label have long been one of our go-tos for a solid dose of house, electro, techno and breaks; and this new instalment doesn't disappoint. Chock full of progressive trance-tinged house and cosmic driving earworms, Reflex Blue proves why Australia has become such a great export of these proggy, sub-aquatic sounds in recent years.

Times are unprecedented. We all have a basic understanding of the history of our planet, but now we are truly living in one of the darkest periods wherein we cannot see a clear path out. As an individual it often seems dishearteningly difficult to help aid in humanitarian efforts, but as we stand with Ukraine and understand the importance of assisting them in any way possible, we've decided to do our part by putting together a digital compilation entitled ‘Club Unity’.

It contains a diverse feast of artists that inspire us, and tracks that make you feel. Signature Haŵs vibrations touching on prog, trance and even reaching the realms of the jungle. But most importantly, all proceeds will go to the incredible platform 'WithUkraine', which consolidates international efforts in raising funds to provide humanitarian support to Ukraine and its people. 

As humans and music obsessives we stand in solidarity with life and not with those who are determined to irreparably damage the fragile fabric of humanity.

Forever grateful for all of your support and we send our love out to those affected. Huge thank you to all artists involved in the making of this compilation.

Haŵs 💛

Huge, triumphant return for the man they know as Olsvangèr. This might be the most radiant, life-affirming manifestation of his devotion to trippy dancefloor propulsion.

If last year’s EP with fellow Tofistock co-founder MYKI was the pre-induction, ‘OYSTER51’ signals his full initiation. Solo manoeuvres from the Berlin-based producer and starts as he means to go on with the buoyant flex and ‘90s nostalgia of opening cut ‘Grand Slammin’. Blissed-out vocals vocoded beyond recognition, this is pure dancefloor jubilation but not at the expense of directness or heft.

Clearly, he’s no stranger to a late-nite tech house incursion either. Where ‘Paranoweed’ comes thru with the tuff, full-bodied groove, ‘Bubble Toy’ recalls the oddball, mescaline-strength tribalism of his DJ Headshot alias. Then, just as uplifting as its predecessors, ‘Quadi B’ shuts things down with a heady, levitational dose of fractal fuel.

All proceeds (label + artist) will be donated to Save The Children - Gaza and West Bank Emergency.
