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 3
1 - Just You & Me (Original Mix)
2 - Faith, Hope & Charity (Original Mix)
3 - Distant Oasis feat. Wilma (Interlude)
4 - Light Reading 2020 feat. Heath Myers (Phantom Whistler Mix)
Total runtime: 25:50
'Just You & Me' is dipping in sex and funk, the dulcet tones of Barry White ride the dirtiest rhythm this side of Texas. Fat, hedonistic and incredibly dangerous, this is a tantalising tech house...
The synchronicity of life is explored in ‘Faith, Hope & Charity’, a delightful dancefloor number musing over the magic of the number three.
On ‘A Distant Oasis’, a babbling stream and contemplative whistle set the scene for the lonely cello of Australian cellist Wilma - all adding to an atmosphere filled with Northern Exposure energy.
We're almost nearing the end, and if this is a Hero's Journey, 'Light Reading 2020' might be its apogee. Featuring the spoken word of fellow Australian guru Heath Myers, it's a doctrine filled with provocative theories, spiritual tenets and generational teachings that glide along a mesmerising 4/4 rhythm — all enhanced by a totally entrancing melody shimmering like the stars it refers to.
