Basic Channel – Phylyps Trak

I always liked to think "Phylyps" was an artist alias and "Trak" the, erm, track, like Cyrus - Enforcement, but of course it isn't, it's like an essence of techno (or essence of Basic Channel) that shifts shapes into Base, Rmx, Trak II/I & II. I have said elsewhere, I must have listened to it 100s of times - once even on a visit to Hardwax in the mid-2000s. Once the 8 or 9 minutes were through I played it again. Most people would wonder why anyone would want to listen to that racket in the first place, meanwhile I was having a moment bordering on the religious.

Phylyps Trak is such a timeless beast of a masterpiece.

Phylyps Trak is without a doubt, a classic. It's a favourite in the techno community as well as myself.

have you ever spelled "track" with a "c" after buying this record?

me neither ;)

An absolute masterpiece that will always be relevant. For me, Trak is in the conversation for the top 10 techno tunes ever produced.

This whole record is a timeless techno Banger. Thanks Basic Channel

not to be confused with Phylyps Trak II which is the legendary dub

Raw berlin-detroit sound. B1 Base was playing on my wedding.

My good friend easygroove played it back when it was first released
Unbelievable
Respect the techno

does anyone else have a copy of these that is not bright green like the ltd edition but only glows green when held to a light
