DJ Phono releases his first album on Hamburg record label Diynamic. Welcome To Wherever You're Not is a work of heart, of emotions awakened and flourishing unrequited feelings. DJ Phono and his producer Jimi Siebels took their time in crafting a record that is between here and there, between the main floor and backroom, between big and small, between yesterday, today and tomorrow, between pop and club, or in short: in between worlds. One quality all of the 12 songs from Welcome To Wherever You're Not have in common is their elegant reserve. They politely, cautiously, discreetly ask for a bit of attention without letting themselves get hustled into oblivion. "Soll Ich Ein Loch Graben?," however, stands out as it unfolds into an imposing 8-minute rave drama: all the hands go up in the air when the bass drum finally kicks in towards the middle of the song. Björn Beneditz (WCW Gallery) and Carola Wagenplast (Jochen Schmith) created the art for the sublime booklet accompanying this album -- each album is handcrafted and is therefore an individual piece of art. The forthcoming tour will comprise a delicate and yet serene chorography made of silicon crystals and computer science in the context of club music.
