Another archive mix just went live on Apple Music.

'Homoelectric Lockdown Disco' was originally recorded as part of a live stream for a Homoelectric charity event, at home in my record room. The first ever filmed stream I took part it. Video is on YouTube, audio on Apple here:

Prolific powers in rave and counterculture, Luca Lozano and Mr. Ho debut on Phantasy with the deliciously gnarly ‘WREKONS’ EP: four outsider-electro variations that sit comfortably amongst the more bombastic moments in Phantasy's history.

Pre-order the vinyl and stream here: lnk.to/LLMHPH148

Back in Berlin on 04.10.25, undisclosed venue, no details to share apart from this line up and the fact that PDA is one of the best parties in the city right now. I don’t even know where I’m playing.

Details will be shared via Telegram.

Ewan McVicar’s return to Creamfields was in a league of its own. ICYMI, flashback to ‘Basic Foundation’, Ewan’s Phantasy debut earlier in 2025. One of the most unexpected bangers of the summer, and a love letter to the rave culture that took him to this moment.

Reworking Tame Impala back in 2011 was a total journey, it took around 4 different versions before I landed with this, which I was finally happy with.

14 years to the day that Boys Noize, Jarvis Cocker and I released this. Approved by Leonard Cohen himself, which still blows my mind and makes me love him even more than I did before. One of the most unexpected records on Phantasy, ever?
