A vacation through an imaginary pleasure-dome by means of ambient house, airy dub and at-times schizophrenic breakbeat. Fantastic Man teams up with Tokyo’s Mule Musiq to deliver his debut LP. Comprising of nine tracks, Utopioid advances further into the realm of sci-fi influenced club and esoteric electronica — a vacation through an imaginary pleasure-dome by means of ambient house, airy dub and at-times schizophrenic breakbeat. Written in 2019 and 2020 across Berlin, the Carioca Spheres of Rio, and his hometown of Melbourne, Utopioid expands and adapts Fantastic Man’s much loved musical tropes for long format. It’s a well-balanced and deeply crafted album and features a cameo by fellow Melbourne rising-star Memphis on “Mazes,” resurrects the spirit of the nineties Rompler on “Forbidden Fiction,” and glides you through peak-acid euphoria with “D’Oxygen” and “Diaspora.” Utopioid follows a series of recent 12″s, which include DJ Mentality on his own Superconscious Records and Solar Surfing on Stuttgart’s Kitjen along with his 2016 LP titled Altitude Attitudes under the alias Mind Lotion on Parisian label Antinote.
