It was quite unexpected to see the very prolific and talented Pieter Kock featuring on Macadam Mambo - which is usually used to new-comers - as he has released a lot in the past 2 years on very nice labels like RIO, Meakusma or Moonwalk X. But, the demos that he sent were so good that there was no question about doing something. And with a lot of possibilities, to prepare a double album that is now composed of 16 quality tracks for 1h20 of music… What vibes are in here! It’s heavy, loudly, loopy, mental, smokey, and always surprising. Pieter has is very own universe, and is without doubt one of the most interesting electronic musician at the moment. 
Should we ask you to give chance to this opus, and tell you you won’t regret it ? We don’t think we need to do so... ☺

MMLPXXX101 - Pieter Kock "The End ll" [PREVIEWS] (Jan. 2025)

We both discovered Philipp Otterbach in late 2020. His debut album “Everything Else Matters” on @riolabel got us hooked for months, becoming our undisputed pandemic-era touchstone — we even secured two vinyl copies just in case. Over the years, he has released two more LP’s that further extended his trademark sound-collage production style, oscillating between a plethora of emotions: hopeful bliss, bittersweet melancholy, murky unease.

Philipp adapts this sensibility into his deejaying by creating adventurously psychedelic sets that feel less like mixes and more like cryptic narratives. This should come as no surprise since he is actually one of the first residents of Düsseldorf’s cult institution Salon des Amateurs.

His Escape Route podcast is a fitting farewell to a very strange year. Equal parts disorienting and cathartic, it’s a winding story that already feels essential to our humble platform.

Don Kashew returns to Subject To Restrictions Discs with the album 'Bellows'. A haunting, melodic, maudlin affair, as one would expect from the Zurich-based producer, with a variety of 'breathing' instruments as a fulcrum, that challenges any physicality.

The compositions draw from the pool of New Age music and neo-folk of the 80s and 90s. But 'Bellows' stretches and looks at the future, deliberately blurring lines that were supposedly anchored. So, Don Kashew has begun a new phase in his musical expression; quivering, but grounded and interwoven in a rich arras of synth work and overlapping woodwind sounds.

Don Kashew is a sonic Dilletant, who is digging, compiling and composing music. Inspired by the DJ and sampling culture, his work focuses on recontextualising music to dissolve boundaries and create new connections between different eras, regions and genres. His musical style is raw, hypnotic and yearning at the same time.

The latest entry to the Phase Group Mix comes to us from West Yorkshire in the form of a psychedelic journey  courtesy of Leeds' Narr Radio founder and Space Ritual boss Slacky. 

Slacky is a key player in the Leeds underground music scene, sharing excellent sounds by the likes of Zmatsutsi, Kalidasa, Konsistent, Andy Rantzen, Tross and Eva Geist & Chikiss amongst others through his label Space Ritual as well as seeing over the programming of community hub and online radio station Narr Radio. 

His Phase Group Mix takes us through the kind of psychedelic territory that he has mastered through  regular sets at some of  Northern England's finest spots for underground electronic music such as the Golden Lion in Todmorden, Outlaws Yacht Club and Club Cosmos in Leeds and places like Soup and The Peer Hat in Manchester. Tribal percussions blend with new-age synth atmospheres, droning fuzz guitars and shimmering space echoes. Thanks Calum!

The forthcoming Macadam Mambo is a very special one. It has been a while we were following The Jaffa Kid, from his first apparences on La Beauté du négatif, Deeptrax or Utter to Altered Sense more recently… checking his almost daily delivery productions on his soundcloud, always very amaze… so it went very naturally to contact him and start this project together. The process went so smooth, he was delivering amazing track after amazing track on a daily constant, going from IDM to Jungle, Break to Electro or Downtempo and Ambient. Everything with a very special sense for melancolic harmonies and rhythms. This is high class productions we collected here, 
12 burners to make a magnificient double album in the intemporal vibe of AFX, ERP, Drexciya, μ-Ziq or Luke Slater’ 7th Plain, that won’t probably get aged. Grab your copy fast as you can, this one will fly 

For their first release of 2025, Phase Group return to where they started with new music by label founders MR TC and Lo Kindre, under the moniker of TC LK. Their self-titled debut album marks the first collaborative recordings by the pair to see daylight since the release of the PHASE001 EP in 2019.

Their new album sees the pair reaching for darker and heavier territory, where modulation and delay enact mind-bending effect on warped bass lines, dubbed out breaks and mangled samples.

Album opener ‘Godmanchester’ ominously sets the tone with a distorted acid line floating over stuttering ambient pads as a drum machine struggles to find its way through a gnarled signal chain; the album’s centrepiece comes in the form of a nine-minute-plus epic, ‘TLPTK’, in which a stark dancehall rhythm is paired with a modulating bass drone and otherworldly oscillating arps, while tracks like ‘Aro’ and ‘Bouncy’ present the most club-engaged moments of the record; the former in the form of a glacial electro rhythm, subtly locking into a groove, and the latter through throbbing bass and echoed breakbeats shimmering over spectral drones.

With this new album TC LK offer up a deft manifesto for futuristic, hypnotic sound design that sits somewhere between the club, the afters and somewhere else completely.

TC LK is released in the form of a digital album alongside a very limited amount of 10” dubplates featuring ‘TLPTK’, ‘Aro’ and ‘Bouncy’, hand-cut by Henninspace at Copyshop Studio in Dresden, available exclusively via Bandcamp.

Phase Group will celebrate the release of PHASE008 with a TC LK live show alongside DJ peanut and Rick Shiver at Spanners in London on the 28th of March.
