│release notes.
The smart and charming Berlin based producer Phonique (Michael
Vater) returns with his second album!.
"Good Idea" is a twinkling rainbow, teeming with positive vibes and
breathing the cosmopolitan creativity of a widely travelled mind.
The common ground of the close to thirty tracks (if you count the
bonus CD) is the kind of modernity in Phonique's music which
doesn't deny it's roots, but reflects a new, urban feel which has
seldom been so successfully displayed. Although "Good Idea" can be
described as modern electronic music in the broadest sense, it's
difficult to pigeonhole the album as it combines so many
influences, ranging from Deep-House to Electro-House, from Nu-Disco
to HipHop, from Lounge to Minimal and Techno to Pop. Phonique and
his production partner Alex Kruger prove their outstanding
versatility without sounding arbitrary. Every tune is well thought
out, but still sounds fleet-footed and unbelievably fresh.
Handplayed instruments like guitars and pianos fit smoothly in the
soundscape adding a good portion of vitality.
The Pop-moments of the album are obvious enough to grab your
immediate attention, but subtle enough to grant a longer and
repeated listening pleasure that lets you discover more layers and
aspects of the music.
Phonique managed to gather an array of illustrious guest musicians,
mainly vocalists, around him. The album features the talents of
well reputed artists like Erlend Oye (Whitest Boy Alive, Kings Of
Convenience), Richard Davis, Ian Whitelaw, Shadee and Rodney Hunter
of Aphrodelics, Data MC and Marc Hype as well as top electronic
producers like Steve Bug, Gui Boratto, Vincenzo, Zoo Brazil,
Badmouth (Mazi & Cass) and fresh talents such as Ruben or Liora.
The collaboration highlights of the album include "Casualities"
(feat. Erlend Oye) which merges uplifting airiness with melancholy
in the distinctive Erlend way, the soulful "Worked It Out" (feat.
Ian Whitelaw and Meitz) and the powerful "Computer Kidz" (feat.
Shadee). But the flow of the entire album makes it difficult to
pick out just a few tracks.
On the second, bonus CD (limited edition), you'll find the more
dancefloor-dedicated facet of Phonique's creativity in a
homogeneous and highly dynamic mix by Phonique.
Another twelve all new Phonique tracks fall into place perfectly,
ranging from deeper to Electro to more minimal and techy House
tracks. The mix reflects the uniquely dynamic of a Phonique DJ set.
Enjoy!.
