Inventions And Diamentions
The Sleeper EP
Phoq U Phonogrammen is a recordlabel that puts out quick and dirty music, rough and soulful techno straight from the heart onto vinyl. Who gives a fuck about sound quality?
Inventions And Diamentions
Not Fanon Flowers anyway, who was responsible for the first release in 1995. He had been dissed by a record company, a so-called 'underground' label from south of Detroit even before he ended up with Phoq U.
Fanon was inspired by hometown techno hero Jay Denham and picked up producing tracks himself. In 1992, and made some raw, lo-fi analog 909/101-tracks.
Four of these tracks ended up on this The Sleeper EP. Critically acclaimed by those who know, tracks like ‘Flim Flam’ will get everybody bouncing. The real gem is hidden on the B-side though, where Serinity lives, a completely mental and beautiful tripping techno jam.
The term “vintage techno” couldn’t be explained better than with this release.
