Phonica’s white label series returns with a real deep house excursion by Chilean producer Massiande in the form of his ‘Freedom EP’.

Massiande is an artist of multicultural roots. He was born in Santiago, Chile, yet he has lived most of his life alongside US American people and has Dutch family roots, which has greatly affected the way he perceives and lives music. Growing as a big fan of US Soul, Jazz and Disco, he found his way into music production through House and his biggest influences have been artists such as Larry Heard, Ron Trent and Chris Brann (aka Wamdue Project).

After a well-received, excellently-produced EP on Aroy Dee’s MOS Recordings and another on Rawax offshoot Housewax, the ‘Freedom EP’ is a strong 4-track conceptual record based on the feeling of freedom in life and, for Massiande, how it relates to house music.

The title track “Freedom” launches the EP attempts to recreate an aural scenery of flying exploration centred on a spacey synth line and an almost Detroit techno bassline. “Be With Me” starts with an almost Mr Fingers-esque groove before melodic elements take over.”Straight” is more of a straight-up dancefloor track with obvious elements from US house from the 90s, clipped Chandler-esque beats, nagging stabs and a vocal sample ‘Gonna take you to another land, where there is no race’, going straight to a place where you can allow yourself to be free on the dancefloor. Many ‘90s U.S. American House and Garage influences go through this track, which brings us to the final track, the epic “Ode To A Tortured Soul”. Deeply melancholic with an end-of-night feel with its own flute solo, channelling Frankie Knuckles ‘The Whistle Song’ or Flow’s Bottom Line classic ‘ Another Time’! Rounding off a strong EP.

Gabriella Vergilov makes her return to Northern Parallels following her remix for DJ Hyperactive’s "Mixed Emotions" release. 

The EP’s title track ‘Don’t Be A Stranger’ is both foreboding and provocative, the opening feels like you’re entering a forbidden space where the few there are all privy to the same secret, in a nod to all the low ceiling basement clubs we only partially remember. The kick is fat and tight, claps are used with precision, and the flirtatious and alluring lyrics coax you in, and don’t let go.

So Cool So High is a classic slow builder, centered around a warm, wide kick and compact hat. The rest of the arrangement shimmers and dances over the top, progressing hypnotically toward a bridge that almost makes the room float as everything becomes lighter and your limbs hang in the air. Just as you reach inner peace, the track takes a psychedelic dip and you’re momentarily jolted from your trance, ready to be lulled back to a state of carefree, closed-lid swaying

Hiroko Yamamura adds her rendition of ‘So Cool So High’ with tight and snappy drums that sit under an acidic synth lead that fits where it needs to while leaving enough space left in the mix. The fast tempo sets a frenetic tone, creating a pulsating sense of anticipation. Gabriella’s ethereal vocals punctuate the track in all the right places, infusing an airy texture on an otherwise dark backdrop.

Jason Patrick & Mike Derer’s remix of ‘Don’t Be A Stranger’ make professional use of effects over simple chords, in a proper nod to the 90’s Tresor / Basic Channel. The drums hit hard but aren’t the center of the track, it’s that rare example where each sound sits just where it should in the mix, and together they are the center along with Vergilov’s vocals over the top.

A solid end to a great EP, ‘In The Jungle’ immediately pulls you into its orbit and wastes no time with the build up to peak time energy. Unpredictable and mercurial as the title would suggest, the senses become hyper attuned to every twist and turn. With a spooky and eerie overlay to an otherwise playful beat, this is a track for the big room in the dark club.

► PRESS:
Timelapse' is a hymn to resurrection and transcendence!
Composed during the 3 months of lockdown, this track takes its roots on the wood of abandoned dance floors.
A deep return to the origins was necessary for F.E.M. and he gave himself the mission to create a piece representing all his influences (Detroit, Laurent Garnier, Rodriguez Jr) and the mixed emotions he felt during this out-of-time moment.
We wanted to make on this EP, a musical meeting between several universes. And what an honor to have Ian O'Donovan and Paul Nazca as remixers! Innovative, inspired, passionate, authentic!
Ian works with emotions and his remix is perfectly that! the subtle journey between the energy of techno and the depth of its basslines.
What we love about Paul is the endless search to make his machines talk!l the warmth of his sounds, his perfect groove make his remix a real crush.
To close this fabulous EP, we present you this new duo William Masson and Matt Sugar R make us discover their universe combining techno and house. a very promising collaboration
