DUB 006CD

"Phako's 1st full length CD release containing his new Bolnes EP and the Bolnes Fragmented EPof late 2001. The Bolnes shipyard has been a big influence for Phako during the last 1.5 years he has been living there. This album contains works he produced in his studio at the Bolnes shipyard and basically is a compilation of his Dub EPs including some extra works like a remix for Math which has been released on Music aus Strom and a bonus quick time movie with the works of 010 (a video artists who supports Phako and other artists like Speedy J and EOG) with video art during his live performances. The music is ranging from minimal abstract morphing electronica to more musical jazzy electronica...raw and smooth like sweet and sour. Bolnes/Shipyards and engineering co.ltd. is a challenging and entertaining album at the same time! Another high quality DUB CD!"

DUB 022EP

"Phako's 'Bolnes' was the first EP inspired on his studio an living space in a old dock called Bolnes in the Harbour of Rotterdam...this follow up EP picks it up where the Bolnes Fragmented EP stopped... Very surprising (at least for those who know Phako's previous releases) is the openings track which is a fusion between Jazzanova and Autechre... very jazzy electronica ...very raw and smooth at the same time...just perfect how it is! The rest of the tracks are more minimal and more machine based tracks which are driven by cut up rolling machine rhythms and floating on the smooth morphing sounds which creates an nice abstract atmosphere..exactly as the Bolnes docks which is full of old machines and cranes but with empty docksides and without the usual business of a busy harbour and the strange abstract atmosphere which comes along with this empty dock."

DUB 021EP

"Killer record by Phako. 6 tracks of advanced musical science. Rolling cut up beats with deep layers of sounds. The whole record is inspired by the new studio location of Phako...an old ship dock in the harbour of Rotterdam (called Bolnes) where all the machines and cranes etc are still working. Where the first Phako EP was inspired by melancholic innercity sounds...this one is more on the mechanical tip. Powerfull mechanical rolling machine rhythms with with floating sounds like the river passing by the docks. The tracks ranging from naked industrial beats to more floating electronica with rolling beats and even a deep minimal 4/4 beat driven track. The record comes in a great full color sleeve also inspired on the Bolnes docks and machines. (Essential for fans of the latest releases on Schematic, Chocolate ind., Autechre, Richard Devine)."
