about

Sydney producer Phondupe returns this July with the hypnotic stomper, Abyssal -4400. The first single from forthcoming debut album ONYKIA expands on the dizzying sounds that have taken the enigmatic performer to Dimensions Festival Croatia and in support of Jon Hopkins, Kiasmos and Machinedrum. 

Having had his music celebrated by the likes of EARMILK, Clash Magazine, & VICE,  Abyssal -4400 marks the producer’s first new material in three years. The track explores consciousness, anxiety and identity, as he dives into his own ethnic roots, sampling a 1950’s Calabrian fishing chant.

Says Phondupe...

“ONYKIA as a project focusses on the dark giants of our own minds. 

I found myself really trying to unpack my own identity. I explored my roots as a Sicilian/Calabrian Australian & realised I'd never really heard my own ethnic culture represented in modern music. Only 50 years ago my family were herding goats in peasant villages in Southern Italy.

Digging through hundreds of tracks, I found an archive of 1950's fishing chants recorded in Calabria by anthropologist Alan Lomax. When I heard "U Leva Leva" - I honestly froze up. I probably listened it to it on repeat for an hour, completely mesmerised by how raw and honest it was. It made me feel really connected.

Abyssal -4400, is us taking that first dive into the dark, casting a line into the depths, unsure of what we’ll reel in".
