Hibbert - Like Rain Ep - RR119

Techno

release date (vinyl / cd / digital): 21st of October

“I've intended to do an album for a long while. The tracks draw upon ideas going back to various points over the last 12 years or so - some of the hooks I wrote years ago other bits are brand new. In some ways I wanted it to reflect a personal arc and the way I tend to do things  - never rushed”

‘Frames of Reference’ is the some 12 years in the making debut album from UK based techno producer Ø [Phase].

Best known by his work on the Belgium based Token Records his style ranges from gritty minimal techno to Detroit influenced material. His debut ‘Module Overload’ was released on London’s Lost/Cosmic records in 2000 and was followed by a string of productions for London's Surface/Inceptive Records and Ben Sims Ingoma imprint.

The move to Token came in 2007, he shortly after began DJing professionally and has since performed at parties across the globe whilst becoming a regular guest at Berlin’s techno Mecca, Berghain performing alongside esteemed peers and supporters such as Marcel Dettmann, Len Faki and Ben Klock. His continued works have seen constant support throughout the techno world and have featured in CD mixes by Robert Hood, Dave Clarke, François Kevorkian and Fumiya Tanaka amongst others. Alongside his production work Ø [Phase] is also a mastering engineer and on/off artwork designer. Starting out at London’s prestigious Sony Music/Whitfield Street Studios, he has cut records for numerous underground dance acts as well as working on projects for mainstream artists.

Now after a string of acclaimed releases on Token and a selection of remixes for the likes of Robert Hood, Mark Broom and Peter Van Hoesen comes Ø [Phase]’s debut long-player ‘Frames of Reference’. Opening with the brooding and building swirl of ‘Binary Opposition (Process 3)’ Ø [Phase] sets out his template of evolving, richly textured atmospheres underpinned by shards of dark and light. ‘The Bwiti Initiate’ revolves around a bouncing techno rhythm that could most certainly traverse the house/techno divide whilst ‘Distracted’ and ‘Misaligned’ are the kind of unadulterated, pummeling, cavernous techno tracks that have made Lost such a party institution.
Then we have tracks like the soft beating ‘Just Another Dance’ providing a lighter edge, embellished with warmth and strings and the thick, densely woven tapestry of ‘Shadow Caster’ which goes from experimental to dancefloor and back again with consummate ease. The off-kilter lilt of ‘Perplexed’ drags us further into the dark before keys and a hint of a melody draw us back upwards for air whilst the fat driving bass of ‘Dirtro II’ and funkier edged menace of ‘On The Edge’ show a virtuoso producer at the top of his game. The closing introspection of ‘Self Deceit’ wallows in subtle nuances before a mid section synth and string intervention pulls us back from the brink before finally descending into the void.

Ø [Phase] - Shadow Caster

Thomas Labermair - Space X (Windeskind Remix)

Antonio Degrassi - Dé Majeur - Snipped

For my return to Open Ground, I had the idea to record my full set and post it online. Nothing can really describe that club, the sound system, the room accoustics, the way everything has been designed just breathes passion and dedication. Just amazing crew and always a treat to come back there.
The vibe there was absolutely amazing, and I guess you really just have to experience it on the spot to really get what it's like. 

But yea, here's the 3h30 journey we've embarked on there this 8th May, and I hope you enjoy it !

Following his critically acclaimed album "Remember Why You Started", the album’s remix packs which featured legends like Ellen Allien, Slam, Thomas P. Heckmann and Boston 168 revisiting Regal’s creations and a bunch of reworks of legendary techno tracks, the Spanish techno master is back on track with an EP showcasing his dynamic range.

The opening track "Push It" kicks off with vibrant hard groove and Hi-NRG influences, reviving an iconic old-school vocal from 1986, masterfully integrating 80’s breaks and modern sound design with synth leads to capture the essence of a timeless hit. The title track "Not Another Summer“ follows with a deep, slowed vocal chop, setting a rich, compelling tone. The dynamic bassline and the rolling groove, punctuated by classic chord stabs, robotic sci-fi effects and interlaced vocal fragments, craft a lively, engaging dance experience.

The mood shifts in "2009 En El Desierto“, where an evolving bassline and a stomping kick drum lay the foundation for an old-school techno banger. Tribal bongos infuse a mystical layer, blending with a distinctively chopped vocal that harks back to the nostalgic beats of Spain's legendary Monegros Festival in 2009. "Snatch" closes up the EP with warmth and vibrancy. A stutter-effect female vocal melds into the groove, enhanced by futuristic suspense-building sound effects. The track’s evolving chord melody adds depth and excitement, providing a captivating conclusion to this EP, showcasing a more housy and groovy side of the Spanish techno icon.

Reload Black's unstoppable juggernaut rolls on with another weaponized release, this time from London-based Jason Fernandes, presenting his latest three-track offering, titled 'A Few Days Of Madness'. 

The title-track serves as the opener, with a rumbling bassline and obvious spoken word passages running throughout the affair, as haunting riffs and tasty stabs take center stage. 'Can't Sleep' is toned up just a bit and the focus shifts to the busy rhythm section and streamlined electronics, while accompanied by reverberating metallic chords. 

The EP closes with the even more esoteric 'Lying By Omission', where looped-out bleeps and dark, melodic overtones all come together to form a spooky vibe with the distressed synths barely being contained in the production confines. You can check full length samples here and don't forget to drop in your valuable feedback ... always appreciated!
