PHAZER レコード& CD

Review: We all need a little joy in our life and that's just what the opening gambit of this new Phazer brings. 'Perfect Love' captures the unbridled giddiness of falling for someone - the skipping beats like your skipping heart as the warm chords add further loved up vibes. 'Nothing Is The Same' is then a disco fired stomper with old school funk intent and 'Jazzed Thang' sinks into a late night shuffle with some fresh melodies and darting chords keeping things nice and smooth. An instrumental of the A-side closes a lovely EP.

Review: We'd heartily recommend this pleasingly varied, all-star affair from long-serving electronic imprint Cabinet. All four tracks are primed and ready for peak-time plays, with the wonderfully hypnotic, deep, dubby and bass-heavy bounce of Youandewan's "Pinger (Goodies Edit)" standing side by side with Noah Skelton's even deeper and groovier EP opener, "Vibrations", at the top of the pile. That said, many will gravitate towards the loved-up, piano-rich rush of Phazer's dream house-inspired "Racoon", while Berlin veteran Daniel Paul's "First Touch" is a wonderfully warm and melodious chunk of spacey deep house.
