INFO
Ritual Ch ants skilfully shows insights into applying retro finds into a contemporary sett ing, much of the material acquired via world tours and capturing the excitement of finding lost jewels and sharing them to crowds across the planet.

Compiled by Danny McLewin, the renowned record digger of the duo, the 3 discs ar e 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 th e future via such touchstones as the pre-new age emanations of 'Water Sports' by Man Parrish, a beautiful tranquil and cascading synth poem which soothes and pu lses, and the sublime and haunting 'God's Garden' by John J. Francis, which hint s at a forthcoming new age of thinking.

On disc 2 (Love) the semi dis cordant funk of Zru Vogue's 'Do the Zru', reminiscent of 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 Jeanette, a real string-swept lo st masterpiece reminiscent of 'Melody Nelson' era Serge Gainsbourg. The booming drum machine mechanics of 'Hangin' Out In Space' by Tony Wilson does exactly wha t it says: a galactic deep fried boogie which will have even robots shaking thei r metalware into the long wee hours, as will the hypnotic Arabic infused brew ma de by Golden Hands on 'Take Me Back'.

While disc 3 (Dance) opens the door to the thick of the night, with phenomenal and unknown cuts such as 'Love a nd Happiness' by Mansour Sallas and Ennio Morricone's disco infused hybrid cut ' Dance On' adding magic and mysticism to this bountiful line, and high quality fl oor polishers such as Popcorn Makers 'Nothing', a sweaty gyrating slice of Europ ean sleaze bringing the delightful 3 course meal of 'Ritual Chants' to a close.

Psychemagik are unique in their perspective, not only is their abilit y to seek out rare musical treasures from the worldwide musical domain astoundin g, but there's also a supernatural nature to their curation. They are a duo as i nfamous 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 bounce. Mixmag named them their 'Stars Of 2012' and their remix output includes Bryan Ferry, Roisin Murphy, Noel Gallagher, Haim, Azari & III, W ang Chung, Paul Weller and Metronomy, with FACT mag summing up their skills best when they observed their "ear for mind-expanding dance floor mysticism".
