'THIS IS THE REMIX OF THE FUTURE FOUR'

Back in April, Phantasy unveiled Future Four, the exciting new alter ego of Andy Meecham: the brains and brawn, behind The Emperor Machine, Bizarre Inc and Chicken Lips. The debut EP release was titled 'This Is The Sound Of Future Four', a trio of tracks that paid homage to the raw, unfiltered and brazen warehouse sounds of the early 90s, brilliantly harnessing the hedonistic spirit of electronic music of the early 1990s

The original tracks ('Gwad Bwash', 'Into Orbit', 'Phase 2') were created from the original sound sets from the 90s, discovered on a series of old S950 an MPC60 floppy disks. Erol Alkan persuaded Andy to revisit and reconstruct, mixing down the tracks himself to form a partnership that has now seen the Phantasy boss officially the join the act. Two into four always works!

Support for the original EP from a wide selection of DJ talent including TEED, Daniel Avery, Justin Martin, Breach, Ben Sims, Norman Nodge, Trevino, Skream, Scuba, Duke Dumont and many many more.

For this remix EP Phantasy have drafted in some serious talent to give their own visions of the mighty originals. First up, the ever on-point and hugely in demand duo of Gerd Janson & Phillip Lauer. Under their Tuff City Kids guise the pair take on the fearsome 'Gwad Bwash' and whilst the reigns are initially tight enough just to allow the keys to groove away, soon the beast can be held no longer and the synth riff raises the roof and arms in unison. 

Initially accompanying the original promo package, the Dark Circles remix of 'Into Orbit' was just too good not to give another airing. This beautiful bass beacon shines bright as its piano riff calls out. We've seen this track take the roof off. Already a firm favourite with the likes of Annie Mac, Fake Blood and Will Saul we're keen to see its genre-crossing light shine further still.

DFA and Gomma artist Jacques Renault makes his Phantasy debut on his remix of 'Phase Two'. Dominated by its synth melody and underpinned by its bubbling acid line the fresh new take from the Washington native is pure party music in the finest sense of the word.

Future Four - Gwad Bwash (Tuff City Kids Remix) PREVIEW

This had never been part of the plan – not like this, not at such scale. The night was dark and cold all around them as they wandered through the forest in search of a way out. Who knew the woods went so deep and beyond what they might ever had imagined? Such expansion was unprecedented, dense thick greenery everywhere which swallowed the light.

Soon the night would come, heaven forbid they were still wandering, looking for a way out.

In the distance they could hear the noise of the city, yet they were on the outskirts, lost in the trees.

Stevie Cox is set to release a new EP via Optimo’s digital label, the Glasgow based Sub Club resident has become highly regarded in the booth and now turns focus towards the studio with a killer EP based on progressive, cosmic sounds destined to uplift on the dancefloor.

PREMIERE: Stevie Cox - Expansion [Optimo Music]

It represents perhaps his most musically rich endeavor to date.

To be released under his own label, Back Door, his fourth album is the culmination of years of introspective musical exploration, tracing its origins back to the lockdown period of 2020. A tribute to the genesis of electronic music, "Water In The Moon" pays homage to Dsum's electronic roots while pushing the boundaries of sonic innovation.

Drenched in analog warmth, the album boasts lush pads, expansive synths, and gritty 808 electro beats, crafting a mesmerizing mosaic of soundscapes that transport you to outer space. Every track showcases Dsum's production and electronic music expertise, with brief variations and instrumental snippets adding to a unified journey of auditory exploration.

Presented in two EP releases, The "Gravity Loss EP" and "Double Distance EP" serve as the album's twin pillars, each offering a unique sonic experience that brings "Water In The Moon" to life. Set to be released on both vinyl and digital platforms, the wax version of the album unveils ten tracks across two 12" records in May and June, followed by the full digital album release featuring all twelve songs in their original intended order, complete with exclusive additions.

Stevie Cox - Jecht Shot EP
RH017: Remmah, 10 May 2024

Having released her debut EP on the label in 2022 with the Daydreamer EP, a collaboration with Fossil Archive, Stevie Cox returns Remmah with her latest solo EP.

Following on the heels of February’s Expansion EP for Optimo Music, ‘Jecht Shot’ is a JRPG-influenced  dose of melodic drum & bass that combines her burgeoning production talents with the rhythmic sensibilities she’s honed through her residencies at Glasgow’s Sub Club and La Cheetah.  

Packaged with the title track is the trancey deep space acid roller ‘Midnight With DC’, and a remix of ‘Jecht Shot’ by Cooper Saver, the Canada-based Californian producer with prior releases on Live At Robert Johnson, Hivern Discs and Internasjonal.  His rework moulds the original’s breaks into a hypnotically meditative cut that would have felt perfectly at home on Warp’s Artificial Intelligence compilations.

“Really happy to be back on the label with something a wee bit different. Even happier to have one of the best about - the ridiculously talented Cooper Saver - on board too!” – Stevie Cox

Tracklist:
01. Jecht Shot
02. Midnight With DC
03. Jecht Shot (Cooper Saver Remix)

Stevie Cox - Jecht Shot (Cooper Saver Remix)

This series has seen us team up with Pirate Studios to spotlight artists and challenge them to a quick fire mix showcasing as many blends, transitions, tips and tricks as possible in a short time.

Papa Nugs is up next, a DJ who is killing at the moment having just come back from an international tour. Arguably one of the busiest out there, his roots lie in Jungle but more recently he has switched things up, drawing for more of a stable driven 4/4 approach with sporadic, intermittent breaks chucked in there for equal measure.

A keen record collector with a pride and love for digging makes his selections unique and interesting. 

This mix and interview was recorded at Pirate Studios in Dalston and demonstrates a no holds barred approach in the booth as it bounces between styles and sounds with grace and finesse. This one is a whole lot of fun and is sure to keep the head nodding.

The Pirate Hotmix: Papa Nugs

The dynamic and genre-spanning Irish producer and DJ @orla_cd has announced a new EP, Moonlight Crush, out on 25th April via our label, fabric Originals.

“A Howl’s A Howl” a single that was inspired by the historic and now-extinct native wolves in the UK and Ireland, and their prominence in Irish Mythology. The melodies build like a growl, haunting the track, a primal instinct keeping the listener moving.


The Moonlight Crush EP was created functionally to be experienced in a club or rave where Or:la feels most at home. The heavy rhythmic synths and organs are reminiscent of losing yourself on the dancefloor, the scent of smoke machines and sweat is thick in the air, lit only by the hint of a full moon.

As a multifaceted producer, DJ, and label owner, Or:la’s artistic journey has taken her from the tranquil and remote landscapes of Inch Island in Ireland to the vibrant nightlife scenes of some of the world’s most iconic venues.

Now based in Liverpool, Orlagh Dooley has become an integral part to the clubbing scene as a promoter and queer community builder pouring her heart and soul back into the place she found her own musical voice. Known for her diverse showcasing of genres, across UK bass, tribal house, deep house, breakbeat, acid, and 90’s techno, Or:la’s ability to draw connections between the subtleties of these genres is what sets her apart from the rest.

DC Promo Tracks: Birdsnake "Redeemer" (Dawn Again remix)

The night went on and on, lost in a fog watching as the flickering and flashing lights moved in the distance. He was sat by the riverside looking back on the city as it buzzed and whizzed as if it were some strange organism with its own life source.

It was endless, the throb and movement of people and things, weaving between concrete structures with their own agendas and priorities. At least so they thought.

Soon it would be daylight and a new warmth would wash away the sins of the evening, for now they were messy and lost within the haze.

Genius of Time are set to release a new EP paying homage to their take on a 'big room' sound and the 'tropes' of dance music. They do so in their own exquisite style with intricate production and subtle nods to that which have come before.

PREMIERE: Genius Of Time - Endless [Aniara]

Neither rooted in electronic or alternative music, Phantasy small but expanding stable of artists work closely with founder and creative director Erol Alkan, to achieve the best possible sound and vision for a diverse audience.
