Jon Phonics returns to Boiler Room Debuts, bringing his latest release on First Word Records in the form of his Letters To Home LP. Well and truly part of the Boiler Room family, the Glasgow-based producer presents a stellar example of his versatility as a music-maker. Deep-textured field recordings, sample chops and rolling bass lines pave the way for a multitude of styles and tempos, from “sleazy synth-pop” to hard hitting “slo-mo trap” and gritty grime.

The fifth track on the album “Nagasaki VIP”, is one of many that captures where Phonics’ head has been in recent times, while maintaining elements of his signature production style he has become so well-known for. The short-yet-uncompromising track doesn’t pull any punches, as an intermittent bamboo flute sample, snappy snares and a furry bass line all combine to create an impelling trap beat which stands as testament to his seemingly effortless MPC work.

Letters To Home will be available on vinyl or to download from the 10th June. You can pre-order yours now.
