Review: As a true master of atmospherics and emotional creation within underground dance music, it's always a treat to see a new body of work from Phaeleh, who has left no stone unturned with this delightful new outing entitled "The Space Between Us". From the stunning melodic glides and vocal prowess of the introductory "Flow", to the more euphoric drum slams of "Dreaming" and airy sweeps of "Down", the true quality of Phaeleh?s palette is explored throughout this project, with there being genuinely no low point. Our highlights however, would have to include the truly eerie atmospherics and awesome vocal work of "Warning Signs", Next to the grizzly sub textures and emotional overloads of "Solitude". Another sensational collection from an undersung legend.

Review: Already a legend of the game in many people's eyes, Phaeleh makes yet another monumental return with this latest collection on Undertow, exploring the most beautiful elements of 140BPM based creation. We begin with 'Once Chance', a thought provoking swim through silky vocal sweeps and glittering pad textures. From here, a more shuffling set of drums are rolled out for the room filling vocal displays of 'Outside The Lines', doused in stunning synthetic harmony from start to finish. To close, we are very pleased to see a final dive into some garage-driven goodness as the high energy drum crunches of 'Walk Away' take the lead role, topped off of course with some more of those stunning melodic inductions, shimmering bass booms and emotional vocal slices to match. Fabulous stuff!

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!

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".

Review: Bristol producer Phaeleh has earned his stripes as an independent entity coming out of the UK's dubbier badlands with a stream of self-released music via his Undertow label since 2014. "Unity" presents a new single pulling together heavier dubstep leads alongside two-stepping drums and percussion set to a backdrop of classical strings, breathy vocals and deeper trance atmospheres caught up in the euphoria of an urban melancholia.

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!

Phaeleh feat Jess Mills
Played by: Phaeleh
Review: Hot on the heels of his excellent album Tides comes yet more new material from Bristol's Phaeleh. Arm-in-arm with singer du jour Jess Mills, "Storm" is the ideal balance of lush pop vocalism and meditative dubstep production. With cool percussion and waves of bass texture it's as distinctive as it is deep. For added house funk and flare head for Applebottom's cheeky 4/4 remix.

Review: It's nearly three years since Bristol-based dubstep explorer Phaeleh released his debut album, the decidedly deep and murky Fallen Light. On this second full-length, he switches his attentions to the more accessible, downtempo-influenced end of the genre, matching his ever-present low-end heaviness with intricate melodies, breezy atmospherics, and woozy, trip-hop style female vocals. For the most part, it's a formula that hits the spot, with stand out tracks "Here Comes The Sun" and "Whistling In The Dark" offering a contemporary take on '90s trip-hop. Best of all, though, is the beatless title track, which is little more than a powerfully emotional exercise in sublime piano playing.
