Special thanks to Simon @ Phonica Records.

After five years as London’s foremost retailer of dance and electronic music, Phonica is launching its eponymous record label with an original production from its very own Hector alongside long-time friend and collaborator Ben Bryant, backed with a remix from Appleblim & Al Tourettes.

The aptly named “Tension” is a masterclass in suspense and hypnosis; a sleek, brooding techno cut which doesn’t so much attack the danceflooor as enfold it. It simply builds and builds, scooping the listener up on a wave of dubbed-out chords and intertwined synth melodies, under and over-scored with taut drum edits, a rolling bassline and strings which hang like mountain mist.

Thanks God It’s Friday! Time again for our weekly webradio show on basic from 20:00 to 22:00.

What am I gonna play tonight? lots of new records actually – special thanks to Simon @ Phonica for the great great selection he sent me.

We’re live on basic tonight, 8pm-10pm, so it’s almost time to sort out a few records. There’s been so much going on over the last weeks that the studio is completely upside down. 12′ are everywhere.

Also I got some great new records from Hardwax & Phonica lately but I barely had time to listen to it yet. I’ve noticed though that the last DJ Mujava: Township Funk Remixes (Warp 267) is a bomb! I’ll go through the rest of deliveries later today or I might also go a get a few more new records. Sun shines in Berlin this morning, there’s been a while since this happens so let’s enjoy it. I guess the studio cleaning will have to wait a bit.

Tune In tonight on basic.ch webradio. The show starts at 08pm Read more
