EDG4R (Cosmic Chronic)
Phonica Special Editions’ first release for 2013 comes courtesy of new signing Sad City. Northern Irish born, Glasgow-based Gary Caruth might not be a household name just yet, but with an EP on cult US imprint Underwater Peoples already under his belt, it's safe to say he's destined for great things.
His release for our Special Editions offshoot, is a magnificent four tracker of swirling synths, subtle detailing and melodic bliss. It kicks off with the reverb-drenched, hazy atmospherics of “Polymath” and the trippy glockenspiel-inspired melodies of “Easing” which recalls some of Four Tet's early output (definitely a good thing in our books!). Then it's straight over to the dream-like 10 minute journey that is “What I Talk About”, with the EP rounded off perfectly with the Steve Reich-esque title track, “You Will Soon Find That Life Is Wonderful”.
The EP is packaged in wonderful artwork by acclaimed London designer Jack Featherstone."

So this one is truly a matter of the music doing the talking, and with the reggaefied dubness of ‘Can’t Kick This Feeling When It Dubs’ and the vintage Theo Parrish-styled ‘Tonight Tomorrow’ the music will well and truly talk to a lot of music lovers."

“Sacrifice” is the work of two duos at the top of their production games. Bicep, after their critically acclaimed recent releases on Aus Music and their own Feel My Bicep records, and SMD fresh from promoting their new “Live” album, decamped for a few days to SMD’s London studio to jam out this resulting epic. Built around a deceptively simple, repetitive melody – as all good 4am club music should be – and laid down onto analogue tape, as well as the original two beatless versions were created. Version 1 keeps the original speed, just smearing out the melodies slightly, to make an effective DJ tool. Whereas version 2 takes things to their logical conclusion, setting the tape machine to 7.5 inches per second, and drawing the chords out into a blissed-out piece of ambient wobble."

In 'Panorama Bar 05' we find a mature and confident Steffi channeling her years of experience as a record collector, DJ and beat-maker into 80 seamless minutes. Reflecting all the angles of her classically inspired, raw and profoundly warm sound, we are guided through a rather grand lesson in House music.
Opening with the gliding tones and field recordings of Palisade's '18:30' - a Redshape-produced space-out cut, Steffi initially expresses her love of earthy, organic and submerged club tracks, with Big Strick's 'Hayday' transmitted direct from Detroit (an exclusive on the 12'' sampler), and the classic depths of Chris Mitchell's 'Lonely Nights'.
Another brand new track recruited by Steffi for the mix, the technoid-Chicago sound of Fred P stands out in the beautifully contemporary 'Project 05' - segueing perfectly with Naoki Shinohara's suitably titled 'Timeless'.
Always leadings us on a surprising journey through contrasting styles, Steffi lights up the mid-section of the mix with pure and positive energy. Juju & Jordash supply their bubbling, ecstatic 'A Stab In The Dark' - another Ostgut Ton exclusive, while congas and gorgeously loose and dusty vibes roll up with 'Reality' from John Barera & Will Martin.
This energy keeps on flowing as Steffi brings in a cut from the inimitable Sex Tags crew - courtesy of DJ Fett Burger - while Juergen Junker's 'Post Reunion' should satisfy any remaining raw-cut-up-disco needs!
Steffi includes her pumping and acidic 'DB011' - one of three exclusives on the mix coming out as a 12" on her 'Dolly' label, alongside with Dexter's classy 'Jawada' and John Barera & Will Martin's contribution.
As the intensity grows in the final half-hour, it's then left to a soaring techno display from Obsolete Music Technology to bring things right up to date, and finally Trevino's 'Juan Two Five' closes the mix, its undulating machine funk easing us down, feeling complete.
Steffi shows off her talents here with a captivating and classy mix of underground House and Techno. All the tracks she included, and the producers she invited to contribute, help to define part of her identity - much like the culture of DJing with records, that she brings to clubs with love, intensity and passion.

He is also a respected producer and although he may not be as prolific as some artists, when he does decide to release his music it is always worth the wait. Less is sometimes more. So we are especially delighted to welcome him to the family here at Hizou Music with the No Beat Left Behind EP that is steeped in the traditions of Detroit techno and Chicago house, that is bursting with raw energy, sonically gritty and an unmistakable authenticity that could only come from someone who was actually there; you can’t fake the feeling.
Dance Demo (Da Give It Mix) is straight-up bumpin’, pumpin’ old-school house at its finest made squarely for the floor; there’s no excuse not to dance. Pray is pure feel-good; brash, bouncy and with more than enough funk. For a truly heavyweight sound that pays homage to the underground scene of the Motor City there is Detroit Shuffle (Quick Step C Mix), while First Love (Latenight Funk Breakdown Mix) is a soulful and chunky groover perfect for the wee small hours."

Vancouver's Aquarian Foundation step up for their debut vinyl release on Brixton label Going Good. "Silent Teaching" is a 5 track EP of deep, analog meditations captured live, in the moment by the Foundation members at their Cedar by the sea HQ. To date, there is not a lot of information regarding the AQFN except for a couple of cassette transmissions & some infamous live actions. We hope that through the medium of a vinyl 12" their message will spread far & wide. Act fast, this is a limited pressing. End."
