199 is back with Exchange 02, the second release in a new series of digital club tools. Birrell & Front Bench push deeper into the sonic influences of their first EP, approaching the second with greater curiosity and edge.  

The new 2-tracker hands Birrell his solo production debut on ‘Constructive Destruction’, a sizzling combination of 909 drums, relentless acid bass and robotic vocals, coordinated with flair beyond his experience. Front Bench’s ‘Let Me Just Tell You This’ is a smoky, atmospheric affair that rumbles towards saw-driven climaxes throughout its evolving 9 minutes.

No stranger to the limelight with a string of forward-thinking, sought-after releases under his belt, Snad joins the roster of cutting-edge artists bringing his spark to Phonica AM under curation of Luther Vine.

The 'Labyrinthine EP' opens with a relentless 4 to the floor club ready firestarter. Aptly titled 'Quark' hits the spot in all the right places. Its swinging drum work out and oscillating chords swirl to a frenzy and guarantee to set any a dance floor ablaze.

The A2 'Labyrinthine' boots off with Snad's unique take on UK 90s Tech-House, full groove, snare syncopation and whirlwind of off-centre synth cords, adding to his effervescent sound design.

The flip side opens with a killer remix fellow Berliner expat, Huerta's take on 'Quark'. The remix retains the destructive dance floor potential of the original and adds somewhat in the hypnotic trip out department. Full engagement is guaranteed from start to finish even for the more of an absent-minded listener on this one.

Snad closes the EP with 'Revival'. This cross-genre juggernaut effortlessly marries puncy breaks with dubbed out echos while the resonant synth chords and muddled vocal chops expand listener's perception of sonar possibilities to places few have imagined possible. One of the rare tracks which hovers on the fringe of experimentation but guarantees to move the peak time crowd of the most discerning listening habits.
