0010999

Chilean born Detroit based producer Phil Hannett offers up his new ‘0010999’ EP via his own Fraxt Records early April, comprising four original raw cuts. Phil Hannett was born in Chile but found his artistic home in the vibrant city of Detroit, Michigan in the USA, the birthplace of Techno music and home to many revered House musicians too. The sound of the motor city has been instilled into Hannett’s music which comes out his Akai MPC2000, embracing a raw and rugged feel throughout. Up first on this new EP is ‘4AM’, a murky atmospheric slice of house fuelled by haunting pads, heavily swung dusty drums and gritty stab sequences before ‘Just Another Day’ shifts gear into jazz tinged house territory via wandering keys, breathy vocal chops, bouncy chords and a sturdy rhythmic drive. ‘On The Floor’ follows next with bumpy saturated drums, plucked bass tones, choppy key samples and stuttering voices all intricately unfolding and developing across the track’s seven and a half minute duration. Title-track ‘0010999’ then concludes the release on a refined and reduced tip, fusing skippy percussion and an amalgamation of vocal cuts with fluttering bass notes and airy chord stabs.
