After a strong first release on Fuse Imprint with ‘The Wall’, resident Phara returns to his home base for a mirage of introspective tracks. Furthering his research of emotive club music, ‘Soft Glow, Fierce Light’ seems more than appropriately named. Shimmering melodies, swinging rhythms, and a comforting ambiance, Phara proves that his constantly evolving musical persona and relationship with the Brussels club are built to last.
 
Beginning with ‘Unfold’, the Belgium-native sets the board with a warm introduction. Reminiscent of his recent endeavor as In Glass, a balance is struck between the slower tempo techno of his secondary alias and the higher club energy that he’s been known to bring as Phara. Steady at first, filters open wide half way through the track to ensure maximum euphoria off or on the dance floor. ‘Flow’ follows in suit and here the producer keeps the level constant and tense with intricate melodic design. A steady groove with blossoming synth lines make ‘Flow’ a beauty to witness unravel. Warm chord stabs make for a nostalgic EP and shows once more that the seasoned producer frequently enjoys prioritizing emotion over drive. Flipping the vinyl to the other side, ‘Wave to Wave’ points a finger to all things dub, even a discrete appreciation of house music, through the harmony of his keys to the sound design of his square bass, and its common borders with techno. Juggling in snare rolls and rides throughout, Phara sets the tone with a soothing piece of work for lovers of the eyes-closed genre. To conclude, ’Solitude’ brings a polished vintage effect to the project that ‘Wave to Wave’ introduced, this time with heightened intensity worthy of a set closer. Punchy stabs make this a particularly extraverted track, fitting into almost any record bag - Room 01 or Motion Room friendly. Thundering claps over an electric melody, these kinds of tracks aren’t new to Phara. Pouring soul into his tracks, Phara proves once again to be a truly central artist in developing the Fuse sound and continuing his stylistic journey.

PROLETARIJAT013 Sev Dah

We're back with our #55 Episode of our Schimmer podcast series with Zürich based DJ and producer Jacom.

Born and raised in Southern Italy, Jacom is an emerging techno DJ and producer based in Zurich. In 2006, he fully dedicated himself to electronic music, which quickly brought him behind the decks. When he moved to Zurich in 2012, his career took an exponential upswing.

In 2016, the talented Italian became a member of the renowned label Adroit and has been an integral part of the collective ever since.

In addition to numerous performances in Italy — e.g. Amnesia (Milano), Azimut (Torino), Cosmic Festival (Firenze) — and throughout Switzerland, Jacom has also demonstrated his skills in other European countries. Berlin is also one of his achievements, where he played in well-known venues such as Anomalie, Renate, Else, Æden, or About Blank.

Jacom is characterized by his groovy and hypnotic sets, which is also reflected in his productions. In the summer of 2023, Jacom undertook a completely new project by founding his own label Reverse, to expand and deepen the techno world in all of its shades. The start of Reverse has already been a huge success, thanks to the creation of a various artists compilation — widely supported from all over the globe.

Minimal on the surface, massive underneath.
Each sound deliberate, each silence intentional.
Immersive techno shaped from modular synthesis, tape, and weight.
