about

PHONDUPE is back with a stand-out piece of stomping, earthy electronica that continues his lineage of introspective, left-of-centre club tracks. EEL CITY, the third single from forthcoming debut album ONYKIA, is out today on the producer’s new label, AIR CON RECORDS.

EEL CITY is a hypnotic, four-to-the-floor number with a shamanic spirit; a colourful feast of percussion, analog synths and understated vocals, weaving Cuban field samples while nodding to acid house and Leonard Cohen. It is inspired by the discovery of an eel colony in the uninhabitable depths of an underwater volcano, an allegory for survival in the face of adversity.

"Some time ago I read about the discovery of an eel colony in the uninhabitable depths of an underwater volcano. Somehow these creatures had not only survived, but found a way to prosper, by living off the heat that came up through the cracks in the earth's core.

I thought it was a pretty beautiful allegory for survival in the face of adversity - finding a way to make it through, despite everything life throws at you." - Phondupe
