Release date: October 2007
Style: Tech-House
With Tuomas Salmela aka Phonogenic, we welcome one of the most established finnish Techno and House producers, with releases on 2020 Vision, Poker Flat, Moodmusic or F-Com-munications. Salmela's sound has something dark, reminding of the long finnish winters and cold nights. He does not feast in old times or posts the question of oldskool or newskool, but simply has produced something really new, without getting lost in clicks'n'cuts or doing too much sound research. Phonogenic uses sentimental harmonies and stringent direct beats, that don't need complex building arrangements, but come to the point rather quickly and make clear where the journey will take us. Similarly to Guy Gerber, Phonogenic's productions also are somewhere in between Techno and Houseand even use elements of Trance. However, Salmela's productions always make the impression of being well planned and moody. |
Heard this track on the John Digweed Warehouse Project EM and was completely blown away. Looked all over for it but apparently Cocoon has only released it on vinyl. Any info on when (or if) it will be available on digital?

| Wow...Last Beer On Earth is a beast! Love the melody. The whole EP is quality. Bit of a different sound for Cocoon as of late, their stuff tends not to be as melodic. |

Agreed, this uptempo sound Cocoon is leaning towards lately is slick stuff. Time to buy. |

Smoking On A Rock is the winnar for me here.
Last Beer reminds me of some Gerber a fair bit. Good stuff, no doubt about that. |

Too flowery/too many unicorns for me
I like smoking on a rock though, much groovier, mindless, less romantic. would be great for afterhours or smoking on a rock |
