Roots 5 Years

BONUS TRACK: GIRALDA - Computer Power (BANDCAMP EXCLUSIVE)

Omar Santis makes his debut on Karakul with the four track EP ‘A T.D.L.D Joint’.

Karakul is a new label focusing on deeper House cuts from around the world. First up is Chilean born Stockholm dwelling Omar Santis.

Omar first came to our attention through his records on the Woodsmen & Lady Log label, the first of which was a split 12” with Niklas Andersson which he then followed up with his own EP titled simply ‘W&LL003’ a few months later. Two fantastic records featuring his low slung, immersive House production that caught Karakul’s ears immediately.

Omar tells us ‘A T.D.L.D Joint’ is an abbreviation of ‘Ta det lugnt daa’ meaning ‘Take it easy then yeah’ and on this 12” he certainly does, in the best possible way. It’s his most soulful record to date, building upon his detailed signature sound with perfectly placed vocals on ‘Stark Champagne’, melancholic Rhodes on ‘Lulu’s Jam’, tribal percussion and pads on ‘At The Shanzai Hotel’ and finally lowering the pace altogether for the emotional ender ‘Inward’.

Karakul, our deeper House focused imprint, is very excited to welcome Colombian powerhouse producer, label head and DJ Felipe Gordon. “Timeless” brings you four tracks of Mariana Trench level depth and soul, melting the best sounds of House together. Felipe has consistently blown us away over the years with releases on some of the best labels out there including Shall Not Fade, Razor N Tape, Toy Tonics and Norm Talley's Upstairs Asylum Recordings.

“Get Your Body Moving” is a dancefloor call to prayer featuring smooth vocals from Bob The Egoist set to a rocking beat, uplifting strings and a virtuosic flute solo. Title track “Timeless” sets the tone with a bumping bassline, gliding synth melodies and a quirky Deep House nature that reminds us of Glenn Underground at his best.

Kicking off the B-side is “Moving Results”. This is a jack-a-thon percussion workout with a 909 ride cymbal leading the charge, modulating and fluctuating hypnotically while electric piano chords form the backbone with a plucky bass riff. Finally, “Take It Away” brings swung Garage House percussion to the table, pairing them with soothing pads and atmospheres, vocal licks and those unreal Jazz-Funk style flute skills from earlier. It’s a release that gives us a real pleasure to be able to share Felipe’s unique and musical take on House with the world.

After beginning his career with roots in Drum & Bass, Russian producer Nuage shifted his sound to embrace a wider range of styles while maintaining an emotionally charged sound and finding a home on labels such as Anjunadeep and 20:20 Vision. For our 32nd Phonica Records Label release, we are proud to present four stunningly euphoric works from Nuage.

Kicking off the ‘Pink Television EP’ is the title track, a floaty and playful melodic House excursion that reminds us of Floating Points’ synth work on his ‘Crush’ album. Next is ‘Ninety High’ which swaps the four to the floor for an intricate breakbeat, highlighting Nuage’s history in break heavy music. A cleverly reconceptualised Disco vocal sample and subtly withheld synth lines are combined with a sub rattling and pulsating bassline.

Maintaining the breakbeat on the B-side, ‘Don’t Forgive Me’ recalls classic Trance and Progressive House with haunting vocal reverberations and a warehouse wall shaking bassline as the track meanders through tension and release of euphoric energy. Lastly, ‘Glances’ opens with a skittish Rhodes riff and unites it with rich and perky melodies that weave in and out of focus.

Ÿuma - Smek (Ricardo Villalobos Remix)

I started Djing at 13, it was my first real job. I was 8 when I started to listen to electronic music, then I loved it forever.

I just surrender with everything that I am to whatever is happening where I am, that's how I get inspired, that's how I nurture myself.
