about
The landmark hundredth single on Phantasy, Erol Alkan’s ‘Automatic’ returns with the first of two remixes that further take the London DJ and producer’s psychedelic club vision in distinct directions. The original 12" pressing, limited to 100 and hand-numbered, sold out in less than an hour.
Mirroring the first ever artist to release on Phantasy in 2007 where Alkan remixed 'Engine', LA Priest proves a perfect candidate to reconstruct the label’s centenary single, a task he approaches with typically esoteric nous. Coaxing a heavenly aura from the original’s glorious loops, Sam Eastgate’s collection of reengineered and self-made analogue equipment soon progresses to melt Automatic’s rhythm into sticky cosmic bliss.
"Sam Eastgate aka LA Priest was the first person I wanted to ask to remix 'Automatic'. We worked together making Late Of The Pier's 'Fantasy Black Channel', and I reworked his track 'Engine' which was the first ever single on Phantasy. 13 years and 99 Phantasy singles later, I am still collaborating with Sam. I worked on his last album, 2020's 'Gene' and here he is, remixing my latest single. This symmetry is the perfect illustration of what makes Phantasy tick, with lasting friendships and personal growth being at the heart of it. I love what Sam has done, and I know that he is somebody who will still be creating wonderful music long into the future." – Erol Alkan

Dusting For Smoke is that hard hit that tingles down your neck and shakes your chest, the nostalgic feel of ‘illegal’ raves fills your head with memories as it sirens through you and breaks down to that ever hypnotic beat. Love it.
Lone Swordsman is just beautiful, as is the sentiment behind it...for Andrew Weatherall’s passing. To top that, all proceeds from this track are going to Amnesty International, an organisation Andrew supported very actively. Every reason to buy this track... __stal__
