Rhythms & Moods by The Phantom

We are proud to present our next installment of the digital reserve collection with Poland's ever so talented act: The Phantom.

Rhythms & Moods is a highly focused collection of compositions that center around 3 key areas: romantic cinematic soundscapes, thick low-end construction & soulful melodic application.

Troubles, Troubles, Troubles begins the EP; a breathtaking combination of lush pads, bluesy vocals, melancholic guitar riffs and gritty drum work reminiscent of legendary artists like Portishead or Bjork.

The release moves into a psuedo club environment with Panorama. The Phantom continues to lead off with bright pads but completely transforms the mood of the album into a reverent piece of Vangelis tinged hip-hop. Panorama combines neon synth lines and 808 drum work perfect for any high brow dance floor.

Palace is a masterpiece of warmth and heart; the mix of crisp piano rhythms and soulful vocal cuts are reminiscent of 90's era summertime anthems with a 2014 twist. The Phantom remains in a groove while bringing in beautiful pads and synthetic leads to perfect the mood and message of the EP.

Finally we come to Watermarked, the perfect finish to Rhythms & Moods. Club ready low end and drum work and poppy leads create a highly accessible but wildly original tune that will work well in the ride or at the party. The mixture of referential synth grooves and piano stabs bring the track to a very sophisticated realm and secure its place in this imaginitive collection of compositions.

The cassette version of this release comes with two cinematic bonus cuts.
