Wallace - Willow EP
CWPT007, 03 November 2023

Having initially forecast his production energy into his own Tartan imprint, Wallace’s music quickly developed a cultish following among record collectors and influential DJs including Gilles Peterson, Optimo, Hunee and Ryan Elliott. Another supporter has been CWPT’s founder Palms Trax, who, following releases on Studio Barnhus and Rhythm Section, snatches four highly sought-after tracks for the seventh release on the label, each showcasing Wallace’s inimitable and enviable skills as an engineer and a willingness to stoke the sort of organic euphoria that DJs dream of igniting.

Amongst the curios, rarities and other finds that have peppered Palms Trax’s sets this past summer, it’s title track ‘Willow’ that has levitated entire club and festival dance floors like few others. Escalating from a disco percussion loop, ‘Willow’ soon brings on high-energy melodies and a captivating sense of something more ethereal, seemingly reinvigorating old tricks with exciting new flavours: if you only raise your hands to one climactic snare roll this year, we ask you to make it this one.

This refreshing intersection between flourish and function is felt even more heavily on ‘Breathe’, a contemporary electronic battle weapon whose breaks-and-bassline arrangement fluctuates between weightless wonder and heavy business. Frontloaded with the detail and atmosphere of a vintage Chems or Leftfield cut, 'Breathe' exhales then explodes all the skill and reverie of the most memorable 90s techno.

Wallace appears to dip into the chillout room for the swampy rhythm of ‘Masada’, before proving his slow-motion mettle, a Sergeant Peppering of psychedelia creating true hedonistic density and groove. In conclusion and on the contrary, ‘River Dancers’ maintains subtle hypnosis at a similar pace with much less, employing simple timbres and a stuttering, innocent vocal inflection to conjure wide-eyed whimsy far downstream from the EP’s earlier, maximal wonders.

Talk Talk - Life's What You Make It (Random House Project Rework)

Digga D - Jail Freestyle #cgm

Phonica mix 135 comes in hot from one of the slickest names making waves at the moment.
Wallace – the enigmatic alias of UK producer Jimmy Wallace – continues to assert himself as a quietly formidable force in underground house music. Since his 2023 breakthrough Ripples EP on Rhythm Section International, packed with sway-inducing grooves like “Whirl,” “Pump Up The Volume” and “Cenotes,” he’s maintained a remarkable creative and club presence. In 2024, he followed up with Papertrip on RS, a magnet for DJs and dancefloors alike, and later the Tanzanite EP on On Loop, where “Red Velvet” and “M’bira” earned serious praise for their visceral propulsion.

Wallace’s latest chapter includes a headline slot at Panorama Bar, alongside touring Japan, and support from tastemakers like Moxie, Gilles Peterson, Hunee and Bradley Zero – the latter reportedly playing “four or five Wallace tracks per set” across the past year. Stop-start grooves, pumping electro and acid licks, interwoven with percussive breakdowns and bursts of raw energy, define his DJ sets— for this mix: a cerebral yet unrelenting fusion of house, electro, acid and more, made for physical, late-night immersion.

We had a quick chat with Wallace about what he has coming up:

Phonica Mix Series 135: Wallace

2hrs recorded live from Magnetic Fields Festival & my first ever live mix

Under the velvet drapes of the Peacock Club in the Rajasthan desert last December we celebrated 10 years both of Rhythm Section & Magnetic Fields. The whole experience really did feel like a dream, filled with the most wonderful colours, sounds & characters. Thank you to the dancers, the festival & all the folk involved in making this experience one of the most magical I’ve had to date. I hope some of this shines through in the recording.

I wanna lock you up
Keep you in my heart forever
Slow dance for a hundred years
I wanna drive you wild
But for real this time

There’s a chamber of my heart
With your name written on it
Every night you come home
To somebody else

She gets to crawl into bed
And ask you how your day went
Kiss you on the cheek
Whenever she damn pleases

I know it’s not real but
Can I keep you? 
Can I keep you?
I’d never break her heart
I never wanna break her heart
Can we pretend this is a question I can ask
Can I keep you

I look into your eyes
And feel like you might understand
All the different ways I can be
All the difficult things I am
Like nobody else can

But oh my darling I’m a mess
And I can’t run away from it
Half of me just wants the best for you
And we know the answer

She gets to take your hand
Whenever she feels like it
Lean into you, make new plans
You’re all hers for the weekend 

I know it’s not real but
Can I keep you? 
Can I keep you?
I’d never break her heart
I never wanna break her heart
Can we pretend this is a question I can ask
Can I keep you

I’d never break her heart
I never wanna break her heart
Can we pretend this is a question I can ask
Can I keep you

Can I keep you
Can I keep you
Can I keep you

I wanna lock you up
Keep you in my heart forever
Slow dance for a hundred years
I wanna drive you wild
But for real this time

Voice Note #6 - Can I Keep You
