Phantasy · #PHANTASYMIX 32: Josh Caffe Josh Caffe has long been a vital component of London’s ever-oscillating club scene, a figure whose productions, vocals and charismatic DJ sets are equally entwined to create a knowledgeable and sensual continuation of the roots of house and techno.Truth be told, recent restrictions have not been kind to Caffe’s specific sound; late night, hedonistic, sleazy and understated records mixed with flair and filth, equally reflected throughout his own productions, released on labels such as Crosstown Rebels, BPitch, Dixon Avenue Basement Jams, as well as his own Night Sheen imprint and Love Child records.What a...

Phantasy · #PHANTASYMIX 31: Lou Hayter Lou Hayter has been a recognisable face on the London music scene since the mid-noughties, when she rose to prominence as part of the ludicrously stylish Mercury nominated electro-pop band, New Young Pony Club.

Phantasy · #PHANTASYMIX 29: Valesuchi Valesuchi is much tuned into the necessary physicality and community of dance music, “choosing people’s bodies as a limitless answer.” A fixture across Brazil’s lively club scene, long since proving herself as one of the country’s wiliest and most intuitive selectors, she has shifted fluidly not only between the lively but divergent city scenes of Santiago and Rio De Janeiro, but also maintained a presence on the European club circuit. Of course, much has changed in 2020, but between this contribution to #PHANTASYMIX and a blinding Resident Advisor podcast earlier in 2020, not to mention...
