NYC leftfield disco darlings Phenomenal Handclap Band made their first appearance on RNT by way of a collab with JKriv in 2022, and now they return for an offering all their own, the Burning Bridges EP. The title track is a groundbreaking hypnotic post-disco pop gem, and Prins Thomas turns the tempo knob up a few clicks and launches into an extended interstellar  excursion with his remix. On the B side the cinematic slow burner ‘It Was The Summer’ begins sparse and hazy and builds to a driving peak of backbeat rhythm and an insistent vocal soliloquy. Each Other (Justin Strauss & Max Pask) then take the tune straight to the rave with arpeggiated and acidic synths, recasting the haunting vocals as a modern New Wave anthem.

Burning Bridges EP

Phenomenal Handclap Band - It Was The Summer

D.S.D. serves up a brand new EP of nu-disco slammers to brighten up the darkest nights.

Think Of You kicks things off with a 5th synth riff, niggling acid and solid nu-disco drums in perfect combination. Deep, hypnotic and ideal for any set, any time.

Flash Atkins and 2 Billion Beats take Think of You and give it some oomph. The riff is amped up, drums are toughened and tension builds to the break before the acid and rave piano produce a hands in the air moment.

Elemental is a mid temp disco chugger pinned down by conga driven drums, a nagging sub and arp. Things build with a piano as pads and EFX cast their cosmic magic.

Just Can't Stop takes a funky bass, vocal stabs, key and brass samples to create a low slung slab of deep groove. Just when things can't get any better, the acid hits.

My Heart keeps the spaced out 4/4 funk alive with a wandering bass, trippy keys, big pads, sampled vocals and delayed arps. Late nights and early mornings never sounded so good.

David Dunne: "REALLY strong EP - will defo get it into the show this weekend.

Chris Massey: "All biggies with plenty of swag & soul. Great remix tackle from Flash & 2BB, will support all these!"

"Fingerman: "Hard to pick a winner here but the Flash and 2BB remix is a big messmate on the Acid front with Just Can't Stop just bringing up the rear! Top banana!"

DiscoDaze: "Excellent set of tracks, will defo support"

Lonely C Ft. Kendra Foster - I Ain't Worried (Zopelar Remix)

Artist: Phonk D, Sascha Ciminiera
Title: Intestine City EP
Label: Footjob
Cat.Nr.: FJ022
Releasedate: 24.02.2023

When Footjob label owner @phonk-d collaborates with his long time studio buddy @saschaciminiera, things turn out to be a bit deeper. 

On this EP they present three rather experimental house tracks that have been produced a few years ago already during their joint sessions at Pallasstudio.

Dusty MPC drums merge with raw synthesizer sounds to create a rough atmosphere. Accents are set by moody vocal samples and effects that complete the whole thing to a rugged picture.

It took some time for this EP to finally see the light of day, but as the German saying goes:
„Good things come to those who wait“
