EVANO - N SEQUENCE

A1 - Evano - Q

B1 - Evano - Disiengo
B2 - Evano - MF 50 Seq. 305.6

Our first release features Evano – the artist we deeply appreciate for introducing us to a colorful yet untraditional spectrum of electronica and inspiring us with his keen observation of subtle details such music provides. His ability to combine contrasts, unexpected progressions and spot-on minimalistic aesthetic offers perfect insight into what PHI is all about and strives for in the future.

All tracks written and produced by Slavisa Stevanović.

VID VAI - PRAGMATISM

A1 - Dial-up Terror
A2 - No – Fun + Compute
B1 - Ultrasonic Sensei Particle
B2 - Memento Mori

PHI002 returns to your favourite record store with a vengance. The Pragmatism EP opens with a subtle yet catchy electro rattle crawling from a wet basement, soon opening rusty iron doors with an "early 90s electronica" sign with the help of a massive atmoshperic push. Dial-up Terror manages to recall the boundless sounds of pioneering techno days only to give hand to the playful and jacking afterhours stomper that is No - Fun + Compute. Crossroads between ambient and electro rarely sounded as dreamy as with timeless Ultrasonic Sensei Particle and its kaleidoscopic arrangements, that might have landed on of your favourite early Warp releases. PHI002 saves best for last with cinematic hypnotism called Memento Mori, a perfect closure for a colourful release that carves a soundscape deeper than trendy genre names.

All tracks written and produced by Vid Papež.

EVANO - SELF SUFFICIENT PATTERNS

A1 - C3'ro5r
A2 - N°014
B1 - kroʊməsoʊm 22
B2 - L.I.N.A.

Imagine Apollo 13 mission commanded by Mika Vainio and ERP and you might get an idea of the intergalactic atmospherics crawling from the new Phi chapter. Slovenian minimalism afficionado Evano returns to Phi with an icy pulse that starts the electro romanticism on the first track and soon turns to hypnotic four to the floor pace. Atonal minimalism intensifies with the last two tracks but manages to make the vacuum of music space sound incredibly human.

PHI003 - Evano - Self Sufficient Patterns

RANDOM LOGIC - PLENDO EP

A1 - Premo
B1 - Abismo
B2 - Mefito

The Empire strikes back! Phi has dug deep into the Slovenian electronica heritage only to return with the 4th chapter containing three mid 90’s unreleased tracks by the cult duo Random Logic. Once the pioneers of adventurous acid and techno sounds having released on labels such as Thee Blak Label and having played in legendary places like the old Ostgut Ton, Random Logic are no strangers in playlists by the braver big shots such as Nina Kraviz. Their signature acid melancholy and drive hasn’t aged and syncs perfectly with Phi’s growing sci-fi catalogue.

Vid Vai - Forms of Communication EP

A1: Forms of Communication
A2: Critter
B1: A Sudden Realization
B2: S33k

A dusty Detroit basement meets illegal rave in Leeds. Vid Vai embarks on a new Sci-Fi episode with his second EP for the ever-growing Slovenian label Phi. A bleepy affair that keeps bubbling below the surface is distinguished by well-arranged harmonies and surprising plot twists. You never know whether you're sitting on your sofa or ending up on an alien dancefloor.

PHI006 - Various Artists - Global Worms EP

A1: DJ W.E.B - Effects of Web
A2: Steve Marie - Practice
B1: Vid Vai - Nebulous Drive
B2: Evano - Zanoni (Audio Guardian)

Beware of global worming! Heat intensifies as the global worms creep in the label roster, dropping witty warehouse wreckers. Flirting with acid, DJ W.E.B and Steve Marie decide to kick off 2019 fiercely as they appear on phi for their first time. Accompanied by Vid Vai and Evano on the flip side, their tracks have a high potential of evoking strong rave nostalgia.
