Put down your guitar, this track is Stoopid and Electro. I'm always looking for sounds I've never heard before. This is, admittedly, a former Kadeshavara track! Which means it is a JPS Grooves track too! So even though it wasn't created for SnowCone MathFest, I gave it a really nice remaster treatment and knew that it would fit in just perfect with neon electric SnowCone MathFest vibe I've been looking for. You can find it in Infinity Lake on the app, or the Jukebox there as well. As usual, you have to put up with my exposition for a little bit before you get to the cool solos and good stuff; give it a minute, let it breathe and you'll hear some pretty cool Stoopid Electro.

Massimiliano Pagliara debuts on Ostgut Ton with his new EP, Time And Again.
Born and raised in the deep south of Italy Massimiliano Pagliara made his way to Berlin in 2001, quickly diving headfirst into the German capital’s club scene (particularly Berghain’s predecessor club, OstGut) until he started DJing in 2003. By the time of his joining with Ostgut Booking agency in October 2015 Massi had already constantly delivered – the DJ and producer has left a strong mark on House music throughout the years with energetic, playful and deep sets behind the decks, two acclaimed solo albums on Live At Robert Johnson and various collaboration projects. His residency at Panorama Bar therefore was a no-brainer – but the musical link by one of House music’s finest with the club’s label was still missing. Now Massi steps up with four new tracks and his first release on Ostgut Ton.
Heavily influenced by classic Chicago House, Electro and early Disco music Massi’s new EP serves as a cross-section of his musical interest as a producer and sonic palette as a selector. Working with vintage studio gear, analogue synthesizers and classic drum machines, his Time And Again EP is as warm and soulful as it’s lush and bursting with strength.

Massimiliano Pagliara | If I Try To Forget I Will Miss You Even More

Deep within the starry night lay a planet far away. Pluto was billions of miles from the sun, yet still it glowed in the reflection of the basking light. The wild winds blew eerily in the deepest, darkest part of space. Little life existed out here in the murky depths. Some said that those back home on earth were all to survive amidst the vast reaches of our galaxy. How wrong they were, naive and weak. One race conquered all and it was not man but something else, quite profound. 

Planet Sundae are set to release their second record in March. It comes following the success of their first, which came in the form of an EP from Al Kassian. He features on this release too, collaborating with Hiroaki OBA across four tracks originally recorded between 2015 - 2016.

Part 1 PREMIERE: Opal Sunn - Pluto [Planet Sundae]

It's been a while since my last rework, but there are a few on the way, starting with this one for Todd Terje (@toddterje)which is out Friday June 2nd, on Olsen Records. It's a cover version of an obscure Cold Wave track from 1982 which Todd has replayed. If you were wondering which track was playing at the end of my Facebook live stream which launched the XOYO residency, then this is it.

We are now taking orders for the 12" here: http://go.phantasysound.co.uk/TTEA
