The ’27 Months’ LP by Phonetix is a beautiful collection of songs from this talented and passionate producer. From a difficult moment in his life, emotions are laid out bare for all to witness. ‘Overlooked’ featuring Harsh is an interesting blend of soulful jazz and a lively dnb beat, together with the soft yearning voice. ‘World Of hurt’ is simply a dark dnb piece reflecting pain hidden inside, anger needing a release. ‘Ode To Otis’ brings an oldschool garage vibe with nifty production work and a lighter atmosphere. The full 12 track compilation is a journey through deep reflections with bass & garage at your side.
“In 2016 my daughter was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia, for which she underwent 27 months of chemotherapy. I channelled the mixed bag of emotions felt during this difficult period into making an album, in order to raise funds to take her on an epic life-changing trip. Alyssa is now doing well, & said-album is scheduled for release via Riddler Records at the end of August. It’s a somewhat eclectic offering covering UK Garage, Garage House, Drum & Bass, Bass Music & Jazz – with original vocals & instrumental features from talented collaborators like Harsh (of Soul’d Out), MC Cobra (heard on tour with Kissy Sellout), Rawkus (Steam Recordings) & Brendan Mills (known for his work playing alongside Olly Murs).” Phonetix
