INFO
Ritual Chants skilfully shows insights into applying retro finds into a contemporary setting, much of the material acqu ired via world tours and capturing the excitement of finding lost jewels and sha ring them to crowds across the planet.

Compiled by Danny McLewin, th e renowned record digger of the duo, the compilation is carefully programmed and sequenced into 3 themes: Beach, Love & Dance, all of which tenderly demonstrate curious ears with a respectful nod to the past and the future.

On p art 2 (Love) the semi discordant funk of Zru Vogue's 'Do the Zru', reminiscent o f a later era Can, laced with thumb piano and an addictive head nod groove finds its place alongside the Gallic seduction of 'L'Amour Joue Au Violon' by Jeanett e, a real string-swept lost masterpiece reminiscent of 'Melody Nelson' era Serge Gainsbourg. The booming drum machine mechanics of 'Hangin' Out In Space' by Ton y Wilson does exactly what it says: a galactic deep fried boogie which will have even robots shaking their metalware into the long wee hours.

Psyche magik are unique in their perspective, not only is their ability to seek out rar e musical treasures from the worldwide musical domain astounding, but there's al so a supernatural nature to their curation. They are a duo as infamous for their production technique as their DJ skills, their prolific edits laced with subtle studio production re-interpreting vintage gems and giving them a contemporary b ounce. Mixmag named them their 'Stars Of 2012' and their remix output includes B ryan Ferry, Roisin Murphy, Noel Gallagher, Haim, Azari & III, Wang Chung, Paul W eller and Metronomy, with FACT mag summing up their skills best when they observ ed their "ear for mind-expanding dance floor mysticism".
