We respectfully acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we work; The Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. We would like to recognise that sovereignty was never ceded in so-called Australia and that we are all on stolen land that always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land. 

PHENOMENA is a record label based in both Naarm/Melbourne and London. Our debut release celebrates rising stars in the local Naarm scene such as SLAMROSS 1000 and RBI as well as launching first releases for up and coming artists Izzy Locke, Zara and GEX. 

This compilation delivers ten unconventional club tracks by Australian and international artists, curated and refined to illustrate our unique perspective of contemporary dance music. We search for those who share an appetite for original and uncharted sounds, and those who foster the greater music community. 

The compilation is a fundraiser for charity, with all profit from bandcamp going to Black Rainbow.

The sun shone bright outside the window, forcing its way through the gaps in the curtains. This morning ritual was soundtracked by the flock of birds that parked up outside her window each day, joining in chorus to stir her from her slumber. This was her routine wake up call - no shrill alarm clocks or unwelcome visitors, no loud vehicles or beeping horns - just nature doing what it does best. 

Phenomena Records started life in October last year as a platform to explore the fringes of electronic music, particularly unconventional sounds aimed at the dance floor. Their inaugural release brought together rising stars from their stomping ground of Naarm, as well as across the pond in London, to give listeners a taste of what to expect. One of the artists featured was hello Aussie Izzy Locke, who takes care of release number two and the label's first solo outing with For The Birds. Tracing the sounds and elements of electronic music she loves, the four tracks span transcendent breakbeat and glitchy cuts to acid and synth-driven excursions, completed with a remix from DAWS who steers things down a housier route.

Sam Alfred - Speed Racing (PH003) Snippets

He never felt more free than being on a dance floor. Arms flailing, feet tapping, hips swaying; it was something that took him out of his body and into another realm. The dance floor could be wherever he wanted it to be, there didn't need to be low lights, a darkened room, or swathes of bodies for him to move, the only necessity was the music - those sweet sonic vibrations were the fuel for his movement. 

Lutruwita-born, Naarm-based producer and DJ Sam Alfred is part of Melbourne's thriving electronic scene. A lover of deep house, jazz-tinged electronics and UK G, Sam feeds these influences into his own music: a nostalgia inducing cocktail of house and techno, which so far has seen him release music for Love Above Records, Spinning Around, Happy Wax and Phenomena Records - the home of his new EP. Speed Racing was written during the pandemic and is the result of Sam experimenting with different sounds and styles which he puts down to the 'pure boredom' that came with being holed up in his bedroom during lockdown.

PREMIERE: Sam Alfred - Boogie on Mars [Phenomena Records]

Sam Alfred's titled track Speed Racing is out now on all streaming services and Bandcamp.

Full EP release on June 2nd 2022.

The diverse selection covers the spectrum of Dance Music from Club staples to Home listening. As always We search for those who share an appetite for original and uncharted sounds, and those who foster the greater music community in so-called Australia.

Heavily invested in the Naarm music scene, Baby G has established herself through composing for film, running DJ workshops, venue booking and her deep passion for production and mixing. Baby G’s DJ sets and productions are captivating, mysterious and ever evolving, landing her on lineups such as Pitch Music and Arts and Hopkins Creek.

This second single release “U Got Mail” coming out on Phenomena Records paints organic dreamscapes and acid-stained textures, along with spacious drum and bass cuts stylistically matched by the sound taking over Melbourne.

“U Got Mail” is a glimpse of what's to come from Baby G as we see her debut EP release on Phenomena Records in the next coming months.
