Few people are onto great records as quickly as a great record store.

Phonica’s end of year lists are always a treasure trove for undersung gems, so we realised we ought to just give the shop’s learned staff their own slot on FACT. Every Saturday, the team behind the counter at the Soho institution select five vinyl records you should pick up this week.



JACK LATHAM (JAM CITY) / DANIEL SWAN
‘Lux Laze’ 10″
(Utter)

Utter debuts with the score for Lux Laze that Jack Latham turned in shortly after the first Jam City singles. Lush lazers cut through layers of dystopian sci-fi.

DAN WHITE

Melbourne’s Dan White returns with a three-tracker with something for everyone: an 11-minute junglist epic, a 4×4 freakout and a blissed-out comedown.
