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.

Joshua James 'Coarse' [PH85]

The white island is a mythical place, a magical haven amidst the adriatic sea. Blue waves move above the sands as they slowly come and go with the tide. A school of fish swims beneath the water amidst corals and underneath the warm rays of the sun. 

Paul Twin has captured the essence of melancholy and euphoria on this release for Nous'klaer Audio.

Swedish producer Tiger Stripes, the alias of Mikael Nordgren, brings his techno touch to Hot Creations for his debut EP on the label this summer. Jack My Yum is a heavyweight three-parter that sees the Swede invite Hot Creations stable mate, Matt Tolfrey, to provide a stellar remix.

Opening track Jack My Yum is a warped and heavy roller with a smattering of dark vocals. Haunted brings with it a bass that you can feel reverberating off the concrete walls of a darkened club, interspersed with an eerie melody. Following his recent release Americas on the label, Leftroom Records boss Matt Tolfrey brings his groove and a bouncier bassline to proceedings with his version of the title track. Dunjacka completes the EP, with Nordgren sewing together a techno beat with broken vocal stabs, underpinned by a throbbing groove throughout.

Tiger Stripes has collaborated with legendary names such as Kerri Chandler, Adeva, Leroy Burgess, Riva Starr and Jerome Sydenham, with his brand of deep and futuristic techno seeing releases on some of the underground’s biggest imprints including Desolat, Drumcode and Cajual.

Joris Biesmans returns to his own TVe imprint for another edition of perfectly oscillated, expertly executed machine funk of the highest order. ‘Ollantaytambo’ is a Peruvian hillside village known for its Inca-era heritage, and in it’s honour, the Berlin-based Belgian finds his own buried gold in the lead track. A subtle, elongated and hugely effective build-up leads to a brilliant entanglement of fantastically rubbery acid lines, twinkling, dream-like synths and hypnotic drums. Another Biesmans production with big-room potential, yet much more beyond.

On remix duties, Innervisions signing Aera drops the tempo to explore Biesmans’ production on a deeper, somewhat more spiritual level. Without ever sacrificing the natural groove of the original, he expands the landscape of the track to incorporate loose, live percussion, naturalistic samples and a subtropical atmosphere that’s difficult to describe. Finally, sounds stretch into further areas of musical and mind expansion on the tellingly titled ‘Ayahuasca Version’ of the track.

Safer Streets Team, Society of Sports Therapists and Sea Surface Temperature all called up this Premiere and they are all really annoyed, they are livid, in fact. They feel like their acronym has been stolen by Pink Skull, the trio who have released on Beachcoma, My Favourite Robot and Melomana. In fact they are so annoyed that they even write a strongly worded letter to their MPs, written in blood, exclaiming 'You Ruined SST For Me.' 
The Ransom Note's sister label Insult to Injury has exploded onto the scene with a series of EPs from label boss Tim Clerkin picking an excellent set of producers such as Anna Lann & Emmanuel Caurel and Dark Circles and now Pink Skull. 
F4n4pt is a dark smouldering kik laden analogue beast packed full of bassy Brutesque sounds, menacing breakdown and a killer drop which changes the feel of the track nicely. Straddling the line between experimental acid and straight up EBM, easily a highlight from the EP which also features a further two original tracks along with a Tim Clerkin remix. This really is faultless stuff.

You Ruined SST For Me

PREMIERE | Pink Skull - F4n4pt [Insult To Injury] 2018

In 2018, https://soundcloud.com/innate-recordings  unveiled its debut release – a widely acclaimed EP that drew together four varied slabs of deep electronic music from a mix of unsung heroes and underground stalwarts, including Mark Hand, Lerosa and the man behind the blog that spawned the label, Owain K. The label’s second release naturally treads a similar path, offering up a trio of cuts that further emphasize Innate’s desire to champion futurist electronic music shot through with warmth, humanity and machine soul. 
Preorder here : https://www.juno.co.uk/products/a-sagittariun-gilbert-sean-dixon-innate-002/708999-01/ 

  

Heading up the A-side is Bristol veteran A Sagittariun, whose psychedelic and otherworldly take on techno, ambient and IDM has previously appeared on Idle Hands, Hype_Ltd and, most frequently, his Elastic Dreams label. “Proof” is an altogether deeper and more far-sighted affair than much of his forthright and intense output, with ghostly lead lines, melancholic electronics and spacey chords stretching out across a bustling groove rich in hazy analogue bass and crunchy machine drums. 

  

Side B is headed up by key Innate family member Gilbert. His contribution to the label’s first EP, “Birds of Paradise”, was simply stunning and rightly picked up plaudits and praise from an impressive selection of DJs and journalists. “Polynoid” is another impressive outing from the Bristol-based producer, with ear-catching riffs, acid lines and melodic movements rising and falling above a wonderfully retro-futurist, Chicago-influenced groove. 

  

It’s accompanied on the flipside by “Our Love For Music”, which marks the first Innate appearance from Final Chapter boss and sometime Rawax contributor Sean Dixon. Like much of the Swedish producer’s output, the track is melodious and intergalactic in tone, combining the widescreen vision of Detroit’s early techno pioneers with the jacking, sweat-drenched percussive intensity of Chicago’s finest.

Coarse (Justin Cudmore Remix)

Bristolian producers Will Clarke and Eli Brown mark their Truesoul debut with a bold two tracker.

It’s a double dose of Bristolian ingenuity for Adam Beyer’s label as established house and techno producer Will Clarke levels with highly-revered artist Eli Brown in their first collaboration. Since 2010 Detroit-based Clarke has unleashed a stream of cuts across a myriad of prominent labels, including DIRTYBIRD, Defected and Octopus Recordings, while Brown’s profile has rocketed in the last 12 months with Moon Harbour Recordings, Relief, Repopulate Mars and Of Unsound Mind being among those to sign him up.

Their maiden outing is a blistering dispatch, proving they’re a formidable duo in co-crafting club ready fodder. Opening the EP, title track ‘Our Love’ is a robust peak-time affair elevated by a seductive vocal loop, before a breakdown unleashes a tirade of warbling acid lines. Its accompaniment is ‘Stay’, an equally energetic offering studded with a propulsive bed of drums, distorted vocals bleeds, rattling hi-hats and dizzying synth effects.
