âA place between deep listening and a danceâ is how Gene Tellem describes the music she releases via her Montreal-based independent label, Bienvenue Recordings. However her words apply just as well to her own sound as an artist, producer and remixer. Though inspired by early deep house and its musical antecedents, Geneâs work possesses an emotional resonance that transcends influence. Itâs a quality thatâs characterized her output since debuting her productions in 2017 - whether working solo or within her four-piece group Secret Witness, with vocalists or instrumentally, or via Bienvenue or other labels within the indie community. And itâs in abundance on the five-track Phantom Vibrations EP - her latest contribution to the imprint with which she shares an appreciation for the sounds and spaces that blur active listening and movement, NYCâs Love Injection Records.
Its centerpiece is âPhantom Vibrationsâ - a paean to the allure of the elusive and ethereal that features the soulfully understated vocals of singer and co-writer Teddy Bryant across four distinct mixes. Geneâs âMain Mixâ emphasizes the songâs emotive duality. It opens pensively - Teddyâs doubled voice pledging devotion to an unrequited âphantom loveâ over stuttering bass and percussion. But halfway through, his repeated refrain (âStep into the beauty/ Let it soothe your soulâ) becomes less a plea than an invitation. Bass and drums synchronize, the track motors up, and the lyricsâs melancholia is absorbed into the momentum of the dance. The âRadio Mixâ and largely instrumental âAlt Mixâ capture these intertwined emotional ghost notes as stand-alone statements.
Two remarkable additional remixes come courtesy of Sapporo, Japanâs Kuniyuki Takahashi. Long venerated as an artist, producer and sound designer (over a storied career thatâs included collaborations with Theo Parrish, Joe Claussell, Henrik Schwartz, DJ Sprinkles and 4 Heroâs Dego amongst others), Kuniyukiâs âKuniyuki Remixâ dubs out Bryantâs vocals within a beautiful arrangement of darting synth work. His dreamlike âBeatless Remixâ strips back the track to its melodic bones, and in the tradition pioneered by Francois Kâs early â80s Prelude dubs, bathes Bryantâs vocals in ecstatic echo. (In a bit of poetic happenstance, Francois mastered the entire EP as well.) An altogether new piano-led track from Gene, âTough City,â concludes the EPâs digital version. And if its characteristics - visceral, insistent, persuasive, and ultimately addictive - encapsulate her affection for metropolitan life, theyâre also apropos to the entirety of Phantom Vibrations.
Gene Tellem embodies the essence of an insatiable musical explorer, deftly intertwining echoes of the past with a highly contemporary eclecticism and innovation to her sound.

this album is the justification for the hundreds of hours this year alone i have put into listening to albums. this record has so much versatility, it could be very legitimately used as background noise, or it could be a full-blown story that takes you down many winding paths of tension and emotion. the only difference between these two scenarios is whatever you wanted this album to be. if you havent already, please let this be the reason that you check this album out :3 kaycs

will never forget Psychemagick, at the height ion their powers, slamming out Everywhere at Lowlife, Corsica Studios. One of the best DJ sets I've ever seen. Thanks so much for making these available digitally... naturally I have em all on vinyl, but its so nice to have these as big old WAV files for my digital sets. thequietfire
