Sales notes from the original release in 2002 The awesome new album from Phillip Charles is ready to drop in September. It combines futuristic jazz with tech-house, lush vocals with dirty beats and experimental sound scapes with sweet hooks. The overall sound is of Sun Ra after his first pill with Herbie Hancock on keyboards, Kraftwerk engineering and Kenny D**e on beats. Phillip Charles got his break doing remix work for the first Sylk 130 album in 1997 and playing bass with Dego (4 Hero) on the first Tek 9 record. Fellow Philadelphia resident King Britt took him under his wing and they went on to remix Miles Davis Shhh and Phil helped produce the When the Funk Hits the Fan. The pair still work together with Phil co-producing five tracks on the massive Sylk 130 album of last year, Remembers only. He went on to build a reputation as an A league and unique remixer under his RETROFONIX LABS moniker on to the likes of Macy Gray. He released Elektrik Dreamer on Shaboom Records in 2000 to great critical acclaim that was supported by Jon Marsh (who licensed it to his Fabric compilation) and Deep Dish who latched on to the minimal and crystal clear production and haunting vocal. This was followed up by Love live for you in 2001 that rocked clubs from Manchesters Tribal Sessions to Londons Fabric and they both provided a great taster for the album. Phil can count on Sasha and Satoshi Tomie as fans and he has since gone on to work with the cream of todays cutting edge producers including Jazzanova and 4 Hero, as well as remixing for John Digweeds Bedrock, Hooj and The End. He produced three tracks on Ursula Ruckers album and recorded and Remixed for Deep Dishs Yoshitoshi.
