TRACKLIST A. The Phone Call B. Sound Test XoX INFO Red Axes return to Phantasy with a double A sided single that captures and expands on the creative relationship forged between the cult Israeli duo and Erol Alkan™s highly regarded London label. The single arrives in tandem with a new compilation ˜The Phantasy Collection (Part 1)™, collecting an enviable run of EPs between 2018 that have resulted in Niz Arzi and Dori Sadnovil™s deserved prominence in DJ sets spanning genres. Carving a hypnotic path against the maximalism currently au-fait in club culture, ˜The Phone Calr™ is as peculiar as it is powerfully effective, a stripped back groove serving as the backdrop to the Axes™ playful deconstruction of an obscure broadcast concerning telephone area codes. A lesser staple of club culture, Sardnovik and Azri transform archival public information into club disorder, stretching a short burst of dialogue to absurd limits before releasing the tension with vampish pianos. ˜Sound Text XoX™ meanwhile finds the pair delivering a surprising alternative take on the lead track from their 2019 EP, retaining its central escalating countdown but adding a powerful, dystopian acid line. The resulting track transforms an already beloved club tool into a frenetic powerhouse.
