After almost 2 years of serving slices of their idea on cutting edge house music on a solely digital basis, the belgian Silverback Recordings now releases its first vinyl... On "EP 2" polish producer The Phantom demonstrates he's a master at creating a soulful, genre-bending, futuristic blend, whilst paying homage to rich Chicago, UK garage, and Detroit traditions, to name but a few. On the A-side "Ceremony" starts off on a smooth hip hop flavored tip, before brilliantly building bridges to piano driven house. "Gothic" holds tight to hybrid thoughts with its melodically mutant, starry-eyed take on grime. The B-side sees an ever-escalating "Voyeur" balancing a fine line between languid safe havens and the abyss of syncopated chaos. The Phantom affirms he's in control though, as he steps back a few paces on "Colossus", and serves funked up, eighties evoking, electronic jams as a discursive ender to this trippy four-tracker. Highly acclaimed and limited to 300 12" copies. Support by Ikonika, Hackman, Canblaster, French Fries, Teki Latex, Round Table Knights, Dubbel Dutch, Brenmar, Lol Boys, Blackwax, Optimum, Chaos in the CBD, Lil Silva, Martelo,... a1 The Phantom - Ceremony a2 The Phantom - Gothic b1 The Phantom - Voyeur b2 The Phantom - Colossus
