AUTOMATIC (CLEAR VINYL REPRESS)

A1. Automatic B1. Automatic (Palms Trax Remix) B2. Automatic (LA Priest Remix) The landmark hundredth single on Phantasy, Erol Alkan™s ˜Automatic™ accompanied with 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. Palms Trax builds on the sensual reverie of Alkan™s production with an electrifying rework full of touches both French and personal. Throwing out a gloriously chic bassline, the Berlin-based producer sprinkles carefully considered sweeps, stabs and filters on a trip to timeless house euphoria. 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.
