Characterised by a discernible signature of harmonious yet implicit tensions, DJ and producer Hayden Payne’s (aka Phase Fatale) contentious palette of both precise sonic and narrative elements shape his world of techno. Presenting his second EP of 2024, ‘Altars’, the BITE Label boss forecasts a confessional state looking onto a decomposing world through the perspective of frenetic energy, evolving polyrhythmic sequences and fleshy dancefloor vigour. 

Built on a trifecta of three original productions, as well as two featured remixes from Kangding Ray and Setaoc Mass, the extended play is a walk through of Phase Fatale’s cadence for dancing around the structural framework of his tracks with superlative control, entwining rhythms from contrasting metres of electronic composition. Altars’ production of electric reverberation follows a trajectory of cybernetic kicks, stabs of short circuit zaps and heartbeat style drum loops embellished by the serene textures of euphoric gleams and sensual chords, augmenting a sonic motif of dystopian salvation. 

The remixes fortify the body of works gritty soundscape with Kangding Ray’s complex sound aesthetics delivering a frantic buzz of sonic tachycardia and Setoac Mass’ experimental spliced shrapnel from the tracks origin creating murky, blizzard-like scatterings. Walking a fine line between themes of the divine and sacrilegious, Phase Fatale’s conscious composition of hedonistic, multi-layered techno and complex world-building narratives further emphasises his production's structure and geometry.

Andy Kay was born in Eastern Germany and grew up surrounded by the influential sounds of Kraftwerk, Die Krupps, Front 242, and Nitzer Ebb. At the age of just twelve, he discovered his passion for electronic music. His first DJ experiences were humble – using a dual CD player and a basic mixer – but they quickly evolved into a serious artistic pursuit.

In 2007, he co-founded the oldschool EBM newcomer band A.D.A.C.8286. With their high-energy sound and authentic stage presence, the band soon gained recognition within the scene. Performances at renowned festivals like Familientreffen Sandersleben and the legendary Wave-Gotik-Treffen Leipzig cemented their place in the EBM community.

Alongside his band work, Andy increasingly delved into music production. Drawing from classic synthesizers, driving techno and tech house kicks, and bold basslines, his sound bridges the past and the future. In 2018, he released his first solo EP titled "Future EP" under Berlin-based label Der Weiße Hase Records – a release that vividly reflects his musical journey.

Andy Kay has performed in clubs such as Golden Gate Berlin, Der Weiße Hase Berlin, and Club Trafo Oelsnitz. He has also made his mark in the digital realm, with live streaming sets for DeeRedRadio (Berlin), WaveDots Studio (Berlin), and Electrovinyl (Plötzin/Potsdam).

His performances take the audience on a multilayered journey through electronic soundscapes – a fusion of EBM roots, techno drive, and atmospheric depth. Andy Kay’s sets invite listeners to let go and escape the everyday – diving deep into the pulse of the night.
