Phonica Records was established in September 2003 and set up shop in Soho, London, adding to the high concentration of independent records stores that inhabited the area. Founders; Simon Rigg, Heidi Vanden Amstel and Tom Relleen joined The Vinyl Factory with the aim of creating an exciting outlet for innovative dance music, traversing all sub-genres and cultures. Over the past decade the emporium has developed into a well-respected destination for DJs and enthusiasts, and has subsequently become a bustling hive of conversation and inspiration as part of a wider community of music lovers. While trends and movements in music have grown and faded over these years, Phonica has always remained in a state of evolution. It is this openness to change alongside a commitment to it's original ethos and an enduring ardour for quality, cutting-edge sounds that has fuelled the shop's staying power. To celebrate reaching this milestone, Phonica Records have invited some of their favourite artists to produce a track for an eclectic yet cohesive compilation, which will hopefully go some way towards sonically unfolding the 'Ten Years of Phonica.' Split across three CDs or LPs, two discs feature previously unreleased material while the other presents a collection of tracks released on Phonica's own labels. Disc One begins with the legendary Joe Claussell whose track, 'Those Days Are Gone', seems like a statement of intent for this compilation; creative, modern house that honours it's roots. Henrik Schwarz is a firm Phonica favourite and has been a regular guest at the shop's parties. He follows on with a signature, driving, Teutonic house jam in true Schwarz style. John Morales, another renowned figure from the NY scene, graces us with his first original production in a spell; 'Sitting In The Dark' is an experienced producer affirming he's still got it. In Flagranti bring us 'Outsider House', in our opinion one of their best productions yet. Dropping the tempo ever so slightly, Raudive's epicly chuggy 'Health' is a slo-mo bass-heavy monster that will decimate dancefloors. The multifaceted Trevor Jackson pulls one out from the archives - an unreleased synth track that previously featured in his iMax exhibition 'RGBPM', now available for everyone to enjoy. 'Morning Light' is the outcome of a new collaboration - Red Rackem and Medlar become 'Redlar' and synthesize their bass-ier sides. Lo Shea has impressed with a string of solid releases in the last few years, the bass-heavy and shuffling "Home" is no different. Another relative newcomer is Moire, yet 'Solar Signs' shows skill beyond producing years. STL's forays outside of his own Something Records have previously been limited to tracks on Perlon and Smallville, so the inclusion of the aptly titled 'Freaky Fingers' is a genuine coup for Phonica Records. Concluding the first collection is Roman Flugel's 'Giant Talking Vegetables', which is as weird and wonderful as it's name suggests.I:Cube gives us 'Chemise Africaine', exhibiting a different side and clocking uncharacteristically low on the bpm scale. Juju & Jordash's 'Quneitre' follows a similar vein, staying dark, slow and moody with a cinematic feel. Head of the Tigersushi label, Joakim, delivers a track as anthemic as his Antena remix - an uplifting 9 minute sun-drenched odyssey. Massimiliano Pagliara dusts off his 303 for 'It's A Lately Thing', a squelchy analogue number. Legowelt's 'Lovecraftiannature' is signature Danny Wolfers, only rawer and even darker than usual. Discodromo arrive with the swirls and synths of 'Boi', while DJ Kaos' 'Buffalo Dub' works purely on it's old school charm. One of the most prolific UK producers of recent times, Mr G aka Colin McBean, hits the spot with 'My Thursdayz'. Russian wiz-kid OL keeps it playful with intricate and scurrying drum patterns, which are followed by Lady Blacktronika's 'Gods And Planets'. As the playlist winds down, it's back to cinematic soundscapes with a wonderful laid-back track from the talented Panoram, followed by the first ever original production from the mighty Psychemagik. The third and final part of the compilation showcases highlights from the last five years of Phonica Records releases. These include tracks by Midland, Sad City, North Lake and Four Tet. As well as Special Request as remixed by Kassem Mosse & Mix Mup, Sandro Perri remixed by Tom Croose and a Skudge remix of Iori. Two previously unreleased tracks come courtesy of current Phonica staff member, The Draughtsman, and also Steve Moore with his remix of Iori's 'Moon', commissioned especially for this compilation."
