Creative. Absorbing. Totally neoteric. Australian guru Uone has graced us with a modern rarity: a 15-track full-length concept album called the Phantom Whistler that pays homage to the Wild West. Filled with inspired samples, this is a delicious deep dance rooted in medicine ceremonies, a complete cosmic adventure with a spiritual sensibility.
Mixed by Australian engineering legend Danny Bonnici in Dolby Atmos, a revolutionary spatial audio technology for the most immersive sound experience, the Phantom Whistler LP will unfurl itself over the course of three months: a new chapter every 3 weeks.
Alongside audio, the album will be accompanied by a collection of music videos and animations created by Australia's leading projection artist Nick Azidis: expect a mood board populated with atmospheric transformations, nostalgia and abstract forms.
This is more than music, it's an artistic manifesto brave enough to buck the trend. Wrap yourself in anticipation and submit to the most audacious release of 2023.
As the Phantom Whistler rides his trusty stead into a fantastic future, he leaves behind a captivating message: Dull the noise and find sanctuary in yourself. You are an adventurer from a distance dimension gathered here for one special moment before you move on to the next big ticket.
To find the treasure within, fuse with your inner beat to synchronise with the universal groove. Travel light, friend.

Phantom Whistler Chapter 1 Tracklist:
1 - Universal Wisdom (Intro)
2 - Project MK Ultra (Original Mix)
3 - Strike The Match (Original Mix)
Total runtime: 19:39
The ambient opener 'Universal Wisdom' dispatches lessons amongst a lattice of synths and sounds. 'We are spiritual beings having a human experience', the sage guru relays, opening the circle in a didactic fashion.
A soft, deep house throb welcomes the listener to 'Project MK Ultra': Digestible melodies swirl around a shiny harmonica, a trademark whistle, and a vocal discussing past wrongs done by the powers that be; the massive breakdown is a tight allegory for the societal tension looking to break.
'Strike a Match' is seductive, offering sweet leaf etiquette as a big middle finger to stifling authority. With guitars dripping in chorus pedals and a fat 4/4 engine, this one has it all: sex, drugs and rock n roll — Wild West style.
