Phantasy

Phantasy Record Label, London. Founded in London in 2007, Phantasy has steadily transformed into one of the UK’s most diverse and artistically ambitious labels.

Erol Alkan, Daniel Avery, Beyond The Wizards Sleeve, Nadia Ksaiba, Gabe Gurnsey, C.Y.M., Chicken Lips, Late of The Pier, Ghost Culture, Connan Mockasin, James Welsh, Future Four, Red Axes, Cowboy Rhythmbox, Terr, Wilted Woman & more. Neither rooted in electronic or alternative music, Phantasy small but expanding stable of artists work closely with founder and creative director Erol Alkan, to achie

ve the best possible sound and vision for a diverse audience. All Phantasy releases are pressed on vinyl as well as released digitally. While always defying definition, a contemporary psychedelic streak binds together Phantasy’s unique roster. Since his debut album, ‘Drone Logic’, Daniel Avery has found a devoted and international audience for his initially against-the-grain blend of subtle electronica and captivating dancefloor moments. Helping to define a new era of acid house and techno, the recent ‘New Energy [Collected Remixes] captures his influence on dance music at large, with contributions from Perc, Roman Flugel, Special Request and more. New Zealander Connan Mockasin also found the perfect home on Phantasy for his offbeat and visionary psych-pop, most recently seeing his sophomore album ‘Caramel’ gain huge critical acclaim, while his stunning debut, ‘Forever Dolphin Love’, was celebrated as Recordstore’s album of the year in 2012. Having released his self titled debut LP, the similarly singular Ghost Culture blends driving, experimental electronics with a classic singer-songwriter sensibility, earning it a place as Rough Trade’s first album of the month of 2015. Based in Brazil, Babe Terror specialises in otherworldly beats and absorbing lo-fi, while occasional collaborator, the mysterious U, does much the same with a fractured, British rave aesthetic. Phantasy’s latest signing, Kamera, has since delivered ARC, a frosty and fully formed EP that seamlessly joins the dots between Berlin club culture and captivating, overwhelming drone. Meanwhile, solo singles from The Chemical Brothers’ Tom Rowlands, cult pianist Gonzales and Late of the Pier compliment the music of Erol Alkan himself, whose much anticipated EP, ‘Illumination’, has been his only solo release thus far. http://www.phantasysound.co.uk

PH14 now available on Bandcamp

'Avalanche (Terminal Velocity)' is now finally available on Bandcamp.

The 14th single on Phantasy was a collaboration between myself and Boys Noize, we approached Jarvis Cocker to lend his voice to our instrumental, eventually coming back with a recording of him reciting the words of Leonard Cohen's 'Avalanche' over the top of our 'Avalanche'. We loved it, but felt the whole track now deserved to be reworked to fit Jarvis' vocal, and so we did, one day in a boiling hot room in Miami (you wouldn't guess by listening). Once it was complete, we contacted Mr Cohen for his approval, and he replied back by saying he loved it.

Back in February 2012 during an interview between the two artists, Jarvis personally handed Leonard a copy of the record. I wish we had a photo of that!

The single features remixes from Canblaster and Ewan Pearson , who re-imagines it in two distinctly different takes.

Celebrating ten years since its release, the debut, self-titled LP from is now available digitally from Phantasy’s own for the first time. Alongside the ten original tracks, we have also made available remixes of singles ‘Lucky’ and ‘Mouth’ from Gerd Janson, Shan and as Audion.

Each act as the perfect musical compliment to Ghost Culture’s beguiling, austere synth-pop songwriting, whether you’re revisiting this vital record in Phantasy’s history, or otherwise fortunate enough to discover it for the first time.

You can find a link in our bio to listen and add to your collection.

“Crafted with naivety at a young age, this record still echoes a time and place where the craft itself was the itch that needed to be scratched, leaving the listener with something pure yet ambitious. There is intention in every detail, balanced with a nonchalance that carries deep emotion; the sound of a young artist not only trying to make sense of their place in art but a personal reflection of the world around them. The process and inspiration were then greatly enhanced by and the Phantasy team, without whom this wouldn’t have the same sonic quality that has, I feel, stood the test of time this past decade.”
