Silverback Recordings stood out last year with some notable releases from Nguzunguzu, Damu and Grown Folk, and they are starting this year as they mean to go on, with a very promising EP from The Phantom, the label's very first Vinyl release. The vaguely titled 'EP 2' opens with tinkering piano riffs exploding into the classic house grooves of 'Ceremony'. The rest of the EP isnt as 'classic' sounding, but clearly exhibits The Phantom's more edgy and experimental broken, funky beats, and his Grime, Chicago and Detroit influences. Check out the EP preview below as well as the bonus download 'Late Night Sex'. 'EP 2' by The Phantom is out January the 16th on Vinyl and Digital, and available from your favorite stores.
