Description
【The initial batch sold out instantly → The long-awaited reissue!】A highly anticipated release from UK-based Wallace, the man behind Tartan Records, with a history of releases on quality labels such as Rhythm Section International, Mule Musiq, Studio Barnhus, and CWPT! The deep B2 is also highly recommended for dub house fans!
UK-based DJ and producer Wallace makes his debut on Phantasy Sound. These two tracks, brimming with sensuality and euphoria, strongly establish Wallace as a new talent in the electronic music world.
"Cravings" features the passionate and inquisitive vocals of Love Letters, a leading figure in underground house music. Starting with a simple, throbbing bassline, it develops into an eruption of lyrical joy. Exploring the beginning of desire—risk, uncertainty, and ultimate reward—Wallace's deep, celebratory arrangement intertwines with Love Letters' queer perspective to offer universal satisfaction.
Meanwhile, "Concourse" takes a more direct approach with a darker, more epic feel than Wallace's previous work. His flawless production brings magic to a widescreen techno epic that would feel right at home on the Circoloco terrace or in the fields outside Frankfurt in the early nineties. Skillfully manipulating acid-oriented machines, he conjures cosmic drama from eerie choral voices and a powerful groove.
This release follows a series of singles on labels such as Cooking With Palms Trax, Rhythm Section, and Moxie's On Loop, establishing Wallace's position on Erol Alkan's long-running label.

B2. Cravings (Dub)
UK-based DJ and producer Wallace debuts on Phantasy Sound with an irresistible double A-side single, ‘Cravings (ft. Love Letters) / Concourse.’ Bubbling with sensuality and euphoria, both tracks reinforce Wallace’s burgeoning reputation as one of electronic music’s most impressive new voices, a crowning moment on Erol Alkan’s long-running label following a stellar run of singles for imprints including Cooking With Palms Trax, Rhythm Section, and Moxie's much-loved On Loop.
Led by a longing, inquisitive performance from vocalist and underground house music luminary, Love Letters, ‘Cravings’ builds from a simple throbbing bass line to an eruption of lyrical and musical joy. Exploring onset desire – risk, uncertainty, and ultimately, reward – Wallace’s deep and celebratory arrangement interweaves with Love Letters’ queer perspective to deliver universal satisfaction.
While ‘Cravings’ looks inward to find release, ‘Concourse’ goes for the jugular with a darker, more epic sensibility than Wallace has previously indulged. His flawless production touch seamlessly gifts magic to a widescreen techno epic that might not sound out of place on the terrace at Circoloco or else a field near early-nineties Frankfurt, repeatedly working his acid-oriented machines into a lather and conjuring cosmic drama from eerie, choral voices beneath a powerful groove.
