Handmade Font
Let’s not forget that PHASE02 is not only about music. The other day I came across a very interesting article in the January issue of Computer Arts magazine. Vladimir and Maksim Loginov are Handmade Font, an Estonia-based design company specialising in creating unique fonts. They combine photography, Photoshop and 3D modelling with traditional media to create this incredible collection of truly unique fonts. They show that graphic design is not only about computer skills. Check it out, they’ve already created 128 inspiring fonts.
Darling Farah
First of all, hello, i’m back! I’ve been inactive for quite some time because i was too busy. But i have some more spare time now and that means time to share new artists and tunes with you guys.
I got linked to this guy by a friend, and i must say i think he sounds very interesting. Darling Farah aka Kamau is a 16 years old producer with Detroit roots. He started making music in ‘06. Most of the time he made hiphop and experimental music. In 2007 he really got into electronic music and what it had to offer. He wanted to be apart from that. I personally think he succeeded in that. This doesnt sound like the 1000th artist with the same taste. Definately check out these tracks, they give me shivers!

FreQ Nasty
Darin McFayden aka FreQ Nasty born in Fiji, raised in New Zealand, lived in Australia, hopped over to Asia and finally made the move to London. He’s made quite a journey to become a musician he is now. He recently released FABRICLIVE 42, an incredible mix of … well something only FreQ Nasty himself can describe.
The Fabric mix is a kind of reference to some of the stuff I have loved recently and where I’ve intersected it in the past in my own work. There’s a ton of good music out there right now; sick beats and heavy bass lines of all styles, and the mix is a snap shot, pieces of music at a place and time that move me. The album is trying to bring it together in one place and make sense of it, to digest it all and spit it out as something that is more than the sum of its parts. Essence d’FreQ for 2009.
Speaking of sick beats and heavy bass – that what FreQ Nasty vs Propa Tingz - “Peacemaker (DUB)” is all about. This is the dub version of a track appearing on FABRICLIVE 42 and it offers the most current look into FreQ Nasty’s sound and his forthcoming new artist album.Watch out! It’s devastating!

Cya Next Year
Yup, still a couple of hours and it’s a nine. A day like any other day in the year … or maybe not exactly. Fireworks at midnight, huge parties everywhere, people drinking more alcohol then any other time in the year. Ah it’s reason to go out, don’t have to worry about anything have fun anywhere any time with friends and do weird freak n dance moves with people you’ve never seen before in your live. Can’t wait! Whatever your plans are I might have some tunes to get you in the mood.
But first I want to thank all our readers for their love they’ve given us in 2008. That’s what keep us going. This year was really an amazing year for PHASE02. And 2009 will hopefully even better. As you can see we’ll be leading in the new year with a fresh new skin, which is actually not finished yet. We’re gonna try something pretty special, but that’s for next year. Also we want to deliver more interviews. We’re gonna try to launch some interesting contests etc.. It’s gonna be awesome.
Enough talking(typing)! As promised some happy tunes to get those feet moving. Have a nice one!

Huoratron & Distrakt
Our dear friend Distrakt from Australia has recently released his new remix of $$ Troopers by Huoratron. Who doesn’t want to hear that? Two of the dirtiest electro producers mixing their sound to one uberdirty remix. The track that got Huoratron famous, cut up and even more distorted by Distrakt. I think Huoratron should release a remix EP. There’ve been released so many awesome remixes Enjoy!
Huoratron - $$ Troopers (Distrakt Remix)
And as a bonus he’s given us another new production Nightcrawl.
Hoshina Anniversary
Not so long ago I received a whole bunch of tracks of this Japanese electro producer known as Hoshina Anniversary. I’ve to be honest with you, I’d never heard of this guy ever in my life. But I curious as I am I checked him out. I don’t know anything about him. But after listening to his music I know he’s got a lot of potential and really knows how to make really nice roaring basslines. Eventhough his productions sometimes kind of sounds a little cheap, I mean it doesn’t sound really complicated. It’s hard and banging and the basslines does it all.
I’ve selected two tracks and one Chromeo remix. These really describes his style and If you dig him and you accidently own a record label… He’s still unsigned!
Hoshina Anniversary - Bratevak
Chromeo - Call Me Up (Hoshina Anniversary Remix)

I have to admit. Sumeco aka Theo Aartsma is one of my favourite young talented designers at the moment. I know I mentioned him earlier on PHASE02 but he recently has updated his portfolio with fresh new even more amazing work. Also he made his first REEL, a compilation of his first motion experiments. sumeco rocks! I can’t wait to start motion graphics myself. Now go check out his folio and feed your eyes with this deliciousness.

Gooseflesh
Freakz Me Out, a German label bigged up by IDJ Magazine as one of the best in the dirty electro scene, recently released a new EP of Turkish newcomers Gooseflesh.
The “Wet EP” features three Gooseflesh originals that demonstrate why these two guys have been receiving heaps of blog love this year, with their pumping beats, catchy chords, powerful riffs and tight production. Band members Jackdied and Jasko are fond of the sound of Erol Alkan, Daft Punk and SebastiAn. Elements of these and other influences can be found on “Wet”, “Love District” and “Take Shoot”, fused together to show us the Turkish take on maximal Electro.
Besides the originals this EP brings you remixes from Fukkk Offf, Zero Cash, Nahn Solo and Disco Trash Music.
