From crosstown rebels to ovum, the list of labels that have been hunting for this track is long. for the second release of souvenir, phonique sheds the light on his dark side with this new ep called what i fake. faking is an art of misdirection. we tell lies to conceal our inner feelings and disguise our real emotions. it requires a great deal of improvisation and high free-styling skills. phonique put brilliantly those words into sounds. the depth and the strenght of the bassline is mixed with a sharp beat. this contrast is highlighted with sporadic synthlines that phonique lets float freely. sleeperthief a.k.a audiofly & miss jools have done a fabulous remix treatment. they provide a melodic retouch with that little arpeggio on top and a furious bassline rolling in the background. phonique could not let us go without delivering a second minimal house gem. he kept the same kind of minimal bouncy groove, added a slightly acid synth line replying with a elegance to the crispy treble sounds. refreshing and energetic. it bears its name -power - with brio. one thing is for sure, for its second release on souvenir, phonique´s and sleeperthief’s producing skills are everything but fake!
