The newly established Cin Cin imprint was founded by Fort Romeau & Ali Tillett at the beginning of 2016 with the objective of bringing together old and new friends in the spirit of collaboration and togetherness. Their latest split 12" EP comes from Switzerland's Ripperton and an artist simply known as "V" who is rumored to have a EBM background and hail from Belgium... but noone knows really. Today we're premiering Ripperton's 'Michelada' which has preak-time, dancefloor euphoria written all over it. Listen to it in full down below and reserve your copy here.

Church is back in action with their second various artists compilation featuing brand new productions from DJ Aakmael, Aquarium, Laurence Guy & Debukas. Church has definitely been a label to watch lately after they released one of the best selling records of the year from Mall Grab but we've also been keeping an eye on another artist from the label who's been making music for a long time but only recently started to get the attention he deserves. Laurence Guy has recently dropped some great solo EP's on Church and Rose Records and contributed to compilations and split EP's on CinCin and Outplay but his latest addition to Churches Volumes 002 has the entire Phonica crew tapping our feet and nodding our heads in approval! It's strength lies in its subtlety, 'Wish I Knew' is a stripped back and piece of House music which effortlessly plays with tension and release. Listen to it in Laurence Guy's 'Wish I Knew' down below in full down and reserve your copy now.

Great vibes at the Stimming Album Launch last week! It was probably the most unique In-Store event we've had in recent memory! We really enjoyed listening the Martin's stories and seeing all of the photos from his time on the mountain but we also really REALLY enjoyed the delicious wine and cheese from the Alpe Lusia region where he created the album. If you get a chance to catch Stimming Live we would highly recommend it. The fully analogue set sounded amazing! Only a few copies left of the Alpe Lusia LP & CD, grab one before they're all gone! Big shout out to Leave No Trace for the great video down below and the photos too!
