Tracklist: 

A1. Blue Vision - Making Up My Mind
A2. Occibel - Shake The Future
B1. Kolter - Electronic Mind
B2. Eric OS – Navigator

With its vinyl-only releases, Phosphor pays tribute to true lovers of electronic music. Blending retro influences with contemporary sounds, the label’s identity is rooted in authenticity and modernity. // Retro influences and modern sounds define the label's unique direction.

Designed as an homage to the golden age of 2000s electro, Exploration Begins explores every corner of the genre, blending sharp percussion, deep basslines, retro 80s synths, and 'old school' vocals. The “shiny” Side A radiates luminous, featuring hypnotic, sun-soaked melodies, while the “dark” Side B dives into a deeper, more club-oriented dimension. 

With Making Up My Mind, Blue Vision—the duo behind the Phosphor label—showcases their vision of a quintessential electro track: groovy basslines, soaring melodies, and relentless drums, all steeped in the unmistakable sound of the 2000s.

Parisian talent Occibel once again lives up to the high expectations placed on him. With Shake The Future, he demonstrates his knack for crafting vibrant bangers. The track’s catchy melody and signature percussion combine to deliver a sound that is equal parts radiant and danceable.

Cologne-based DJ and producer Kolter takes the lead on Side B of Exploration Begins. Dark and weighty, his contribution draws power from haunting vocals and evocative melodies. Venturing beyond his usual boundaries, Kolter leaves a lasting impression with Electronic Mind.
True to its name, Navigator is a journey through a spectrum of influences. Sometimes hard-hitting, sometimes brooding, yet tinged with moments of melancholy and hope, Eric OS brings this Various Artist release to a masterful close.

Cat No: PE021
Format: 12” Vinyl	

Tracklist: 


A1. Beyond Expectations
A2. Warehouse 92
B1. Metamorphosis
B2. Metamorphosis (Paolo Mosca Remix)

Physical Education present their first release of 2025, Metamorphosis from SY. Originally from Manchester and now based in Portugal after years in Berlin, SY’s seasoned craft materialises in his groovy, housey tracks with old school rave and progressive house touches.

Side A opens with the energy inducing ‘Beyond Expectations’, translated also into ‘Warehouse 92’. On Side B, the richly textured, retro-leaning, and irresistibly danceable ‘Metamorphosis’ creates a solid footing for Paolo Mosca’s remix, which closes the record.

Metamorphosis comes in exciting time for SY, who has a forthcoming EP slated for release on Slump and continues to lead his own imprint, E&X Records.

S.A.M. - Mastermind EP
It’s a properly transcendent Kalahari debut as S.A.M. makes nods to ’90s Eurodance and deeper, spiritual invocations.

At the helm of multiple labels, but this marks a Kalahari debut for the Danish artist. Sometimes anthemic, sometimes operating from a more meditative space, but always serving as an outlet for ecstatic release. Rapturous big room ascension into more contemplative territory.

Channelling some divine NRG in the vocal hooks, and like much of their work, an air of blissed intent cloaks the whole thing. A suite of tech and deep house striking balance between the introspective and direct, the metaphysical and corporeal.

Pitting sonic immersion against forward momentum has almost become a blueprint for any Kalahari release, and here, we bear witness to a prime example. Heady stuff.

In 2019, we set out with a vision that was both simple and deeply passionate: to cultivate a warm and intimate clubbing experience.

Our mission was to blend timeless nostalgia with a contemporary edge.

By 2020, we took a significant step forward by launching our own label. This initiative was born from our desire to amplify the Locked-In sound and shine a spotlight on emerging artists who inspire us and share authentic music. 

Our journey is driven by an unwavering motivation to support and celebrate dance music in all its forms. We believe in the power of music to bring people together, and we’re excited to continue this adventure, inviting you all to join us on the dance floor.
