Rory Phillips’ ‘Mixed Fortunes’ singles series returns for it’s fifth outing, the penultimate instalment in the series. Opening track ‘Circuit‘ is a playful piece of analogue machine music, starkly contrasted by it’s flip, the sprawling ‘Rise Up’ which begins as a basement dub jam before evolving into.. well, you’ll see.

Rory Phillips has cooked up another installment of the Mixed Fortune series, this time with “Tunnel Vision”, its thick, arpeggiated bassline, disco flex and 80s pop touches making it a truly beautiful boogie-slanted electro monster. There’s a special surprise too: the man goes head to head with Night Slugs man L-Vis 1990 for “Silicon Island”, a house chugger with some serious 80s vibes in there – Korg Polys all round!

Previously only available as part of his subscription 12” series ‘Mixed Fortunes’, these two 12”s heralds the first original material from Rory Phillips, following a 7 year run of well received remixes for the indie and dance elite. Named to reflect the stylistic range of the series, Mixed Fortunes channels the same spirit of musical adventure heard in both Phillips’s remix work and in his genre-hopping DJ sets, with tracks both by Phillips alone in his well stocked analogue studio as well as some undertaken with a range of top secret collaborators.
