phonon Drops Wild 7-Minute Track “EMME” on Halcyon
Oolacile‘s new Halcyon imprint was conceived with the notion of pushing boundaries and propelling the sound of bass music into the future. So it’s no coincidence that one of bass music’s most intriguing producers, phonon, has been a part of the label from the start.
