The Chase

Slotting in with all the ‘90s anti-peristalsis that’s in vogue right now, Church unnecessarily return to the rightfully maligned and sprawling acid jazz sound with Folamour’s Melophrenia.Jazz Session For No Future People reminds us of staying on a school night in the ‘90s to tape Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide show in the hope of catching some nuggs, but unfortunately this one sounds like the bobbins you’d have to wade thru to get the good stuff. Either that or something from a bargain bin at the boro branch of smack generators.Melophrenia follows more successfully with a sloshing deep house groove gently lit with sparkling rhodes and burnished soul vox lifted from Aleke Kanonu’s Aleke, and the beatdown hustle of Janvier In Bed is thankfully one of those low-key burners you might hope to stumble across on GP’s show.

New York House and Disco legend Eli Escobar has been releasing music for over 20 years under various aliases as well as running incredible parties and his own label Night People. We’ve been huge fans of his productions over the years and when a chance to release some of his stellar music on our Phonica main label came about, we were over the moon.The “Find A Way EP” kicks off with “FindAWay2Day”, combining heavy hitting 808 drum work with deeply satisfying vocal samples, a beyond groovy bassline and 80s Electro-Funk galore. “Something Inside Of Me” leans towards a classic US Deep Garage House blueprint, with sampled chord stabs, mesmerising vocal hooks and MPC style swung drum programming.
