Phonica Best of 2023 Club

Abdul Raeva - Live at the Sapphire Club

Local south-London neighbours Baby Rollén & Ollie Rant team up for a three-tracker that launches the off-shoot, white-label of Slump Recordings! Focussed on club-ready, nostalgic UK sounds with a focus on hardware and analogue gear. The tracks span through influences of breakbeat, UK garage, liquid drum & bass, and beyond.

Following Baby Rollén's 'Love Potion' EP, which drew in club and radio spins across the globe from the likes of Carl Cox, Eris Drew, Paramida, Job Jobse, and many more. The label takes a break from its usual EP release schedule due to heavy pressing plant delays with the club focussed SLUW001, 'Move It' EP. Sampling old dancehall casette tapes over a rave-ready blend of big piano hooks and punchy breaks all made through one session hunched over the MPC.

St. Petersburg trailblazer Maruwa takes a break from remixing Skream and releasing her recent mind-melting EP Steel City Dance Discs, to deliver a stunning remix of the A1 that traverses between phat psychedelic acid and euphoric breakdowns through a peak time weapon that's been doing critical damage through the summer already.

Keep The Jam Going

I'll Disco - Keep The Jam Going (The Regular Mix)

Collaboration from Paramida & E-Talking. Paramida is the well-respected head of the Love on the Rocks label whilst E-Talking is the pseudonym of Emmanuel Corre, one half of Nummer who have given us stunning releases over the year on their own label, AD93 and Going Good. ‘Read My Lips’ strikes the perfect balance of old-school warehouse acid and early-morning Berlin dance floors.

Theo Kottis - Rain EP
CWPT009, 26 July 2024

Having spent the last decade evolving into one of dance music’s most sublimely effective producers, CWPT is delighted to welcome Theo Kottis at the peak of his powers, delivering a further four tracks that demonstrate a playful mastery of widescreen sounds for wide-eyed dancefloors.

Capturing the light still shining from his beloved ‘Lighthouse’, finally released earlier in 2024 via Dekmantel and escalated into notoriety thanks to support from trusted selectors such as Ben UFO, Francesco Del Garda and our own Palms Trax, title track ‘Rain’ retains a similar, blindingly authentic nineties reverence, finding ecstasy in a wash of cascading synths, powerful plunges of sub-bass and layer upon layer of elasticated everything.

The Scottish producer’s positive education in the foundations of club music with real personality makes itself known without indulgence; a belief in the subtle tweaks and imagination of classic tech-house, alongside a welcome flirtation with the over-the-top elements that create something potentially anthemic. In this regard, ‘Benirras’ proves to be pure pleasure for dancers who love to be toyed with, its stripped back opening giving way to slowly-escalating, wobbly-jawed hysteria.

On the flip, ‘Grazie’ proves as cordial as its title, a warm and refined slice of sleek house minimalism, a roller with Alfa Romeo sensibilities. Things take a more aquatic turn on ‘Lowkey’, a logically headsy conclusion that sees Kottis sensually bounce the word ‘electro’ around in that very style, its slower tempo and wider space allowing the impressive intricacies of his productions to float up for fresh air.

Tracklist:
A1. Rain
A2. Benirras
B1. Grazie
B2. Lowkey
