Horse Time is the first release on Phonopsia’s new label - Horse Category. As a statement of intent for the sounds to come, this debut record shows the breadth of Phonopsia’s craft in the studio looking to not be limited by genre or tempo. Across the EP he delivers a slow techno track with housey leanings, a room shaking minimal techno track, up-tempo electro wigged out with oddball elements, and a down-tempo finale that abuses time.
The first and last tracks on Horse Time are siblings, products of Covid, and homages to our new post-temporal existence. Trace Signals from a Temporal Dimension and Memories of Time are connected by a shared twinkling melody line - one has all the house music feels of dancing in
the day time and the latter offers up a more quirky and playful take on the hook.
Deadline: Gala was recorded as a production demonstration for the Georgetown Film Festival gala in Washington, D.C. in 2002. It was created live with an audience in a two hour window - start to finish. It’s a track that people have enjoyed in his sets now 18 years later will be released on vinyl.
Nuba Tuba was made in 2009, and while it is a bonafide electro track it also brings in influences of early Hemlock/Hessle influence on the large tuba-like bass.

Note to EU buyers. I am sad to say that there will be an element of hassle in receiving your purchases in this initial Brexit period. I will now need to submit a customs declaration, and you will need to pay VAT (and potentially other fees that I don't fully understand) on receipt. I am not doing anything different than what everyone else must now do, but I wanted to make sure the change was visible before you get the warning during purchase. Unfortunately we are all having to adapt to the ridiculous new state of affairs (this is really not great for imports, and this record was pressed in The Netherlands). Hopefully it will improve later this year. You can read more about it here:
