With an indisputably fortuitous future ahead of them, Rojas and Phazes have forged their self-titled release over two years of to-ing and flowing across the Pacific. Paying homage to the likes of DangerDoom, Jaylib and the masterful relationship of the Foreign Exchange, Phaze One has found synergism fusing vintage influences with modern approach. Emilio’s toughly executed social commentary emerges through tracks like Tic Toc, The Survivalist and Still Talk, whilst a lighter approach is adapted for break-out single So Many- featuring Illy and Dion Primo, as heard on triple J, providing the album with a vast diversity of subject matter.

“Phaze One represents two like-minded individuals who won’t let distance get in the way of makingamazing music. Knowing Emilio for such a long time, it made sense to do a whole album with him. Even though we weren’t in the same room making this record – it is a true collaborative effort that shows the best of both of us.” – M-Phazes
