PHRAKTAL PRESENTS THEIR ORIGINAL & QUIRKY DEBUT ALBUM
Phraktal are one of Ireland’s most exciting prospects for 2015, formed by
Christian Boshell & John O’Dwyer (Casper), who have both been highly active
within the Irish electronic music/club scene for some years now. Their debut
album, the intriguingly titled “Why 1 Is One And 2 is Two”, is set for release in
March 2015 and covers a multitude of genres, ranging from sci-fi inspired
electronica, ambient soundscapes, deep house, breaks and tech-house, through
to techno.
The duo’s highly original, quirky electronic style is already gaining critical praise
and support around the globe as they create decidedly danceable gems by
flexing their diverse production skills, avoiding easy and obvious sounds within
the electronic spectrum. For example, the album opens with the experimental
filmic soundscape of “Now Or Never”, flows effortlessly forward with the luscious
deep house of “Mindshapes”, before “Fusion” takes a hypnotic trip into stylish
tech-house territory.
Diversity is what makes this album such an exciting prospect - “Hanging Around
Corners” takes a fizzing breaks blueprint to introduce some cosmic beauty to
the proceedings. “System Error” conjures up memories of classic tunes of old,
whilst updating that attitude for current tastes. The album title track finds itself
exhibiting maximum peak-time, euphoric dancefloor potential, before the razor
sharp techno beats of “Transfer” takes the energy up to an even higher level,
and “XXII Ely” adds a little acid to reach a suitably climatic peak. Finally, the
sprawling ambient masterpiece that is “Resonance” brings Phraktal’s
experimentation full-circle with a suitably show-stopping finale.
Creating this stunning debut album took the boys over 1000+ hours of studio
time, completed over a 2 year period, with the final product being whittled down
from a possible 30 tracks to a concise 9 track selection that they feel most
clearly expresses the Phraktal sound. The idea for this album project came
about whilst Christian & Casper were remixing “Speakerhook” for Omnis
Recordings and their synergy working together grew quickly into developing a
definitive and exciting body of work, and the electronic scene in 2015 is all the
better for their dedication and experimentation.Phraktal’s Bakroom label is
planned to become an eclectic musical melting pot of productions from both
established artists and previously unreleased raw talent. The first release (“In
the Name of the Dogs”) was from up-and-coming Turkish DJ/Producer Evren
Ulusoy, whose driving deep house is currently topping many people’s playlists.
Further singles and remixes featuring the likes of the legendary Jamez (Touché
Records), Ben Shaw, Jerome Krom, Astronivo, Blue Amazon and Stephen Lopkin
are set to follow. For now, Phraktal’s “Why 1 Is One And 2 Is Two” album is a
landmark statement to kick 2015 off in style.
