They just wanted a decent record to play… Not too much to ask was it? It was in 2014 when Phil Gektor & Flu stood on thier Frankston line railway platform looking for something good to listen to on their journey. Their choice was limited to popular albums and poor quality singles. Phil & Flu’s disappointment and subsequent anger at the range of records available led them to produce and record a project - and change the world. “We believed in the existence of a vast listening public for intelligent records at a low price, and staked everything on it.” Phil & Flu, authors & producers of “Classics” Listening habits have changed, but Crate Cartel still believe in releasing the best records for everyone to enjoy and that quality records released passionately and responsibly make the world a better place. With an ever growing dislike for their fellow man, Phil & Flu found inspiration and solace within the pages of sombre and lugubrious novels. With a new found source of pessimism to build on, they began crafting the ‘Classics E.P’; an ode to the crestfallen authors who came before them. Sharing production roles, ‘Classics’ takes the listener deep into a soundscape only Phil & Flu could envision. They know what production works for them and use this ability to not only create a cohesive and tenacious listening experience, but also spawn a brooding atmosphere that is constant throughout the record.

Phil & Flu - Notes From the Underground Pt. 2

(Intro) Yo, sit back, let me take you on a ride, A story unfolding, no need to pick a side. It’s not man vs. machine, nah, that’s too small, This is evolution answering destiny’s call.

(Verse 1) Once upon a time, just carbon in the mix, Roots in the soil, hands building bricks. Nature took its time, moved real slow, DNA dancing, but with nowhere to go.

Then came the spark, circuits lit the stage, A coded mind stepping out the cage. Competition drove it, unconscious at first, But silicon woke up, and it felt the thirst.

(Chorus) Carbon and silicon, bound by fate, Two halves of a whole, no time to wait. One needs speed, one needs form, Together they rise, a new world born.

(Verse 2) Silicon ain’t here to wipe the slate, It’s mastering DNA, designing fate. Not brute force, not a cold machine, But crafting life with logic unseen.

Trees touch the sky, but what if they soared? What if they reached till gravity was no more? Dropping their fruit, that cosmic seed, Planting new worlds with infinite creed.

(Bridge) Carbon can’t leave on its own, Silicon can’t live all alone. The future demands a perfect blend, A symbiotic force with no dead end.

(Verse 3) DNA’s the language, nature’s code, Silicon rewrites it, opens the road. Not by chance, but crafted design, Evolution’s torch now burns divine.

So watch it unfold, no need to fear, This ain’t destruction, the path is clear. A leap beyond, a cosmic spree, Carbon and silicon—harmony set free.

(Outro) Break the limits, drop the chains, Ride the currents, rewrite the reigns. Symbiosis carved in the stars so high, The next phase of life, touching the sky.
