Synth fraction electronic project from Czech Republic curated by Martin Kuška, a man dazed in soundscapes, gorgeous 80s and 90s independent sounds, early rare trance music and individualistic DIY approach to life and music production. Nothing is more boring than trying to make perfect music according to the principles and efforts to please the current standard.

Martin has been performing and producing ambient and synthy compositions under his real name for many years, releasing a few LPs for the US cassette labels Sacred Phrases and Origin Peoples, mostly influenced by writing, drawing and photography, as well as by the rhythms of village life.

Todmorden-based band Working Men's Club burst onto the scene at the beginning of 2019 with their debut single 'Bad Blood'. Coming via London-based mainstay Heavenly Records, the track championed their formative influences: 80s-leaning post-punk and melodic synth-pop.

But after dropping this first single, frontman and band leader Sydney Minsky-Sargeant was keen to weave his passion for electronic music into the band's future output — a decision that other members of the group weren't in favour off.

Two of the original members left, and since the band has gone through an evolution of members, now devoted to welding together the commanding punk sounds, present at the band's outset, with driving synth-heavy dance music. This newly-realised sound first hit public ears in mid 2019 with the release of 'Teeth', which laid the foundations for their self-titled debut LP that finally saw the light of day in October last year.

As a showcase of the electronic sounds that helped provide that new direction for the band's sound, lead singer Sydney Minsky-Sargeant delivers a special DJ set of warm breakbeats, squelchy machine funk and rhythmic house cuts.

"After Hours Still Warm" is the debut single from N8PH, introducing a sound rooted in deep house tradition with a modern, understated edge. Built on warm grooves, subtle funk, and late-night atmosphere, the track captures the moment when the night has slowed down but the energy still lingers.

Focused on feel rather than excess, this first release sets the tone for N8PH: timeless house rhythms, soft disco influences, and a calm, confident approach to the dancefloor — where less says more.

After Hours Still Warm

Deep, hypnotic minimal techno – dark pulsing bass, warm pads and slow-building tension, built on groove rather than melody.

When we released his EP Eternal Waves earlier this year on our sublabel OOSSHA our press text wrote "Nijmegen based @lucadellorso found some sort of time machine that brought him back to the days of Disco Magic and Il Discotto; a time where wobbly synths, heart felt handclaps and sweet melodies filled the air".  Well, listen closely to this lovely mix with an hour full of gems by the man himself.

Left Bank 005 - Sau Poler

At Robert Johnson kicks off 2021 with a new cut above the rest thanks to Benjamin Fröhlich, who dons a cosmic Acid-to-Italo four-track EP. Whether „Club Fantasy“ insinuates the phantasy of clubbing in times of a pandemic shutdown in global club cultures, or a club by the name of it, lies within the ears of the listeners. Either way, Benjamin’s ties with the Robert Johnson club can be heard resonating throughout this fantastic EP.

Club Fantasy (Club Version) introduces a a happy 303 reminiscent bouncy bassline, supported by relentless rim shots, fast-forwards the Club Version of the title track directly into the uplifting domains of well-established sounds. Sparse echoing vocal snippets, encouraging us to dance, and by the time the piano stabs finally kick in, it’s all hands up for your very own club phantasies.
Club Fantasy (Fantasy Version) boasts a less peaky signature, while working a more playful and driving treatment of the title track, supported by mellow strings, a harder kick and subtle room reverberation.
On the flip-side, Escape presents a warm, emotional and cinematic Italo soundscape, featuring floating arpeggios, which flash like coloured strobes in the dark. 
Benjamin’s final track, Dream Machine, is a beautiful kaleidoscope of sounds, slightly more energetic yet moody, that is sure to catch everyone's ears on the dancefloor.

As a co-founder to Munich based record label Permanent Vacation, but also as a DJ and producer, Benjamin Fröhlich’s musical involvement traces back many years in the Cosmic Disco and Balearic scene, and into the networks of both Robert Johnson club and its label.
