NEWSFLASH: Connan Mockasin Announced As Special Guest Next Friday

You may have seen on the listings for Erol Alkan's Phantasy label takeover next Friday that their was a special live guest TBA. Well, that special guest is Connan Mockasin. After releasing his album 'Forever Dolphin Love,' a repackaged version of his debut album 'Please Turn Me Into A Snat,' on Phantasy back in March, the young New Zealander has been trouping his talents across the globe, bringing his delightfully offbeat and wonderfully singular vision to the world.

We're happy to be able to announce that he completes a Phantasy Room One lineup that already includes label boss Erol Alkan, French techno wizard Gesaffelstein and Stopmakingme. Bask in the weird world of Mockasin in his video for 'Forever Dolphin Love' below.... it was this brilliantly ingenious approach to invention, and his masterfully unique charm that caught the attention of Erol Alkan, who signed Connan to his label Phantasy after hearing initial demos for the record. On first seeing Connan play live at DURRR in London alkan said, "he was completely out of step with everything else out there, performing some of the most beautiful songs I had heard in years, to hundreds of people in a crowded nightclub, and being able to silence them to the low volume of his music. Having that power is rare.'
