Now with 5 vinyl releases in the bag, Phonique‘s Ladies & Gentlemen label pays tribute the life-affirming, spirit-restoring movement that is House Music, with the aptly titled ‚Time For House‘. The 3-track ‚Time for House‘ teaser 12‘‘ (LG05) hit the stores recently to a sell-out response, so now heres the full album - and what a collection it is!
Within these 14 tracks - and during the exclusive mix by Phonique, working them up into a continuous club soundtrack - you‘ll find delightful every corner of house. From the spacey to the uplifting, from the deep to the twisted and modern, its all here in superbly mastered attendance. This compilation, jam packed with fresh exclusive tracks, will be released digital-only, allowing space to really explore all the possible channels and of course provide over an hour of Phonique in the mix!
Fans of the genre and label will be pleased to find all the key artists present and correct; Phonique, Vincenzo, Tigerskin, Boris Fox, Kiloo and some hot newcomers are all featured. Wonderfully selected, the tracklist boasts some of the sharpest, most upfront house tracks of the summer, with all 14 tracks pushing forward top quality, addictive grooves through and through.
From the opening bars of Vincenzo‘s made-for-open-airs ‚Return of Sha‘, to the Tigerskin double-header of ‚Too Hot‘ and ‚Break Night‘, you know you‘re in for an un-missable selection. Funky, disco vibes are broken in by Kolombo‘s Next Dream‘ before things get totally freaked out Berlin-Parisian style with ‚The Fever“ from Boris Fox.
Pushing things up a notch, ‚Talking Probs‘ deliver a deep-ass club vibe with ‚I Can‘t‘, before Rubini mixes up the selection even more, with the classy old-school tones of ‚Gin Sonic‘. Phonique jumps the ‚Disco Q‘ with his late night laser show, whilst his edit of Modern Walker & Urban Absolutes‘ ‚No Problem‘ rides through in fine style.
Following these exclusives are some special picks from the label‘s back-catalogue so far. Firstly, lifted from L&G 01, Boris Fox‘s ‚Dancefloor Dude‘ makes a statement in house thats impossible to ignore. Manuel Tur & Dplay drive deep on ‚The Passion‘, while Trickski‘s Fashion Remix twists Kiloo & Phonique‘s original in a different, synthed-out direction. Ilija Rudmann‘s fantastic remix of Boris Fox‘s ‚Grey Inferno‘ sets things alight, before Phonique throws down the final cut; his slow grooving remix of ‘s ‚Plastic House‘.
This is all tied up into a continuous DJ mix by none other than the main man Phonique, who champions the selection with his trademark up-building mixing style and classic, timeless touch. Its a bold, feel-good selection that really shines with quality through and through... Already approved by some of the top names on the scene there‘s never a dull moment, with Phonique‘s unique A&R policy and DJ intuition giving us a veritable oasis of delights to dip into.
