In the darkness of the new moon, when the celestial body completes its cycle and begins anew, we welcome I’m Mady (@immadyofficial) to the Phases collective with his debut EP Schwankschwindel. He offers us a sonic exploration of what it means to sway, oscillate, and find balance within perpetual motion.

Schwankschwindel — German for the sensation of oscillating vertigo, that feeling when the ground beneath you moves in rhythm — becomes a metaphor for the creative process itself. Just as the moon follows its eternal cycle, so too does the groove: repeating, evolving, transforming with each rotation.

I’m Mady’s signature sound is unmistakable. The EP’s two tracks form a perfect duality. The title track “Schwankschwindel” anchors us in that hypnotic sway — percussion patterns and woodwind textures creating a controlled vertigo, a purposeful imbalance that somehow grounds us deeper. Then comes “Sexy” — a harder-edged exploration where slow tech meets tech house attitude. Here, synthesized sound design takes the wheel, building tension through metallic textures and precise, driving rhythms.

The artwork mirrors this cosmic dance perfectly: lunar phases orbit a radiant celestial body, starbursts emanating energy outward while orbital mechanics keep everything in delicate, perpetual motion. It’s a visual representation of what I’m Mady achieves sonically — finding harmony in complexity, stillness in movement, balance in vertigo.

This is music for the space between cycles, for the moment when one rhythm ends and another begins.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do ⏾.
