After forging a formidable collaboration on the album FUTURE RETRO with songs such as DO BETTER, TELL ME NOW & BRING ME JOY, THE LAYABOUTS & PORTIA MONIQUE link up again with a brand new single for 2013.

COLOURS OF LOVE is the fruits of their labour and offers us everything we have grown to love about the partnership.

The classic feel good soulful production that has now become the signature of THE LAYABOUTS mixed with the warm and sultry tones of PORTIA MONIQUE gives COLOURS OF LOVE the right formula that will keep us warm over the Winter months ahead.

Seven years after opening up Phonique's boutique label, Ladies & Gentlemen, remains as vital as ever.  Not only has the quality of each release stayed uniformly strong - they have also come thick and fast, introducing many up-and-coming artists and producers to new audiences. 

Michael Vater, a.k.a Phonique himself, clearly has an ear for talent, and this Best of Ladies & Gentlemen compilation demonstrates that fact admirably. 

Many of the label's big hitters are all present and correct - Bruno Be's huge 'Lovesick' from last year continues to do the business, while Dirty Doering & Sascha Cawa present us their lush 'Lumy'. 

Elsewhere, Tigerskin's 2010 bomb 'Loop Back in Time' still sounds fresh, Vincenzo's near anthemic 'Return of Sha' also appears and Kikiorix's tech house blueprint 'Plastic House' is included via the Phonique remix.  

Plenty of new producers are represented too, showing that the label is not content to rest on its laurels. With talents like Stark D, Roberto Palmero, Fabricio Peçanha and OK Corral, the future is looking very rosy for Ladies & Gentlemen - here's to seven more years!

Plastic House

Kikiorix - Plastic House (Phonique Remix)

A very special record that we released back in 2017, along with a much-loved remix from DJ Spen & Michele Chiavarini. Huge shoutout to Black Motion and Xoli M for creating a modern-day classic.
 
Also, an honourable mention to the amazing B-Side called ‘It’s You’, which features Miss P and has over 2.7 million streams on Spotify.

Berlin-based award-winning producer, label owner, and one of Europe’s most sought-after house DJs – has left an indelible mark on the global electronic music scene.

With over 100 releases and remixes on acclaimed labels such as MoBlack, Dessous, Poker Flat, Crosstown Rebels, Stil vor Talent, Systematic, Bunny Tiger, Katermukke, Bar 25 Music, and Ritter Butzke, his prolific output cements his status as a house music innovator.

Phonique's career catapulted to fame in 2004 with the iconic club anthems “The Red Dress” and “For the Time Being.” However, it was his timeless hit “Feel What You Want” from his 2010 album – amassing over 50 million views on YouTube – that solidified his global reputation. His four critically acclaimed albums showcase his evolving sound, diverse influences, and profound intuition for igniting dance floors worldwide.

In July 2022, Phonique launched his label Zatar Music, debuting with a Korolova remix of “Feel What You Want.” The label highlights his melodic and Afro-Arabic house inspirations, drawing from his travels to countries like Jordan, Ukraine, and Armenia. With releases from artists such as Fairplay, Roo, Nilu, and Gui Boratto, Zatar Music embodies Phonique’s adventurous sonic vision. Remixes by Hyenah, Korolova, Gorje Hewek, and others have earned Zatar tracks spots in Black Coffee’s Spotify playlist and Adriatique’s iconic Cercle set.

2022 also marked Phonique’s residency at Berlin’s renowned club Ritter Butzke, following his debut release on their label. Playing alongside international stars like Korolova and Franky Wah, Phonique continues to inspire with his electrifying performances.

As Identification, his debut album, approached its 20th anniversary, Phonique is planning a special release featuring acoustic reinterpretations and fresh remixes of classics like “For the Time Being feat. Erlend Oye” and “Café Monte Carlo feat. Dixon.” This milestone reaffirms his ability to revisit and reinvent his own legacy.

An unexpected highlight in 2024 was the resurgence of “Feel What You Want” in its slowed version, trending on Shazam charts in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan, and peaking at #15 on the global Shazam charts. This momentum inspired an upcoming “All Mixes” release on Zatar Music, featuring remixes from Korolova, Vintage Culture, Bruno Be, Tom Novy, Aka Aka, and a highly anticipated new version by Ukrainian duo Artbat.

From his trailblazing productions to his residencies and label endeavors, Phonique remains a driving force in house music, pushing boundaries while staying true to the genre’s essence.
