With a number of releases on labels such as Detroit Underground
and Shitkatapult,
Phon.o, or Carsten Aermes to his mum, has pioneered a tough electronic sound that sits somewhere in between the twin towers of house & techno. Getting his break supporting Funkstörung on their European tour, in more recent times he has teamed up with Chris De Luca
to form CLP. They have taken their live show on the road to devastating effect, driving people crazy with a mixture of ghetto bass, jacking techno and intergalactic house that re-injects the fun factor into Europe's techno scene.
This Maxi-Single is featured in Update #070:
Modeselektor, Roman Flügel, Four Tet, Joakim
Modeselektor are back! After four years spent with Moderat and setting up their own label the Berlin pranksters return with their eagerly awaited third album, 'Monkeytown'. Don't just stop reading there however, as September was ripe with many more fantastic more...
Berlin bass boy Phon.o finds a new home in Modeselektor's Monkeytown label for his new double pack: 'ABAW 723' and 'Sad Happiness' tick all the right boxes, from dub elements to anthemic harmonies for maximum melodramatic effect. Nice one.
