Soma
Elemental - (4:53) 123 BPM
Review: Since he first emerged, there are few people that have made as much sonic impact as Phaeleh, whose beautiful harmonic dubstep and garage originals still stand out as a breath of fresh air to this day. We are here now however to take in his brand new album project, which as expected, showcases mastery as work. Across 13 gorgeously crafted original compositions, Phaeleh showcases exactly why he is so highly regarded, from the organic drum clips and stunning harmonics of 'Dusk' to the stipped back synth jitters of 'Distant Echoes' and dramatic soundscapes of 'Horizons', the man simply doesn't miss. His understanding and wielding of pad textures are pretty much unmatched, with a couple of standouts including the beautiful melodic leads of 'Elysian Fields', the acidic synthy twists of 'Okob' and of course, the sensitive sonic landscaping of the title track 'Soma', which through dripping percussion and perfect balancing, gives us a seriously impressive collection of audible experiences. Fantastic work!

Embers
Moving On - (5:52) 122 BPM Hot
Spellbound (feat Amy Kirkpatrick) - (5:02) 120 BPM
Review: Ranging from the dubby and atmospheric to vocal and even poppy, Undertow kingpin Phaeleh resurfaces with the journeysome Embers LP. With swathes of classical strings and fanned basslines adding cushion to the stepped drums of "Unity", melodic ambient progressions find their way to both "Solace Of Tomorrow" and "Halo". Tabla percussion and industrial atmospheres meet with the bowed subs of "When You Left", leaving Amy Kikrpatrick's vocals to set free the evocative tales of both "Spellbound" and "Floods", the warmest track on Embers alongside the uplifting chords and keys of "Moving On".

Illusion Of The Tale
Secrets - (7:15) 120 BPM Hot
Review: Unlike the majority of his Bristol natives, Phaeleh likes to go beyond his immediate remit, to express himself in ways that look further than half-step beats, kick drums and hollow sonics. This new LP for Undertow represents a true shift in mood from the enigmatic 'bass' producer, one that sets its focus on the simplicity of sound, rather than a convolution of beats and dance floor arrangements. This masterful album is made of a whole plethora of field recordings and electro-acoustic wonder, and it feels like travelling along a vast, desolate plane of sonics. We've been told it's taken the producer a long time to put together, and it's clear from the very start that this is perhaps Phaeleh's most focussed work to date. Let's hope this inspires a whole new generation of UK ambient producers. TIP!
