Brand-new phone, fresh out of the box, with no fingerprints and no cracks. That stupidly satisfying moment where you peel the plastic off the screen (you know the one) and everything feels clean again. That’s the energy on this record.
CARTER (AU) and Paradox link up for ‘New Phone’ via GOODSIDE Records, and it hits with that same instant hit of dopamine. It’s simple and sharp, this record is straight to the point. No loading bar or updates required.
The bass lands first. Thick, bouncy, and dialled in. Drums are clipped and tight, snapping everything into place like they’ve been lined up with a ruler. Then the vocal drops. Cheeky. Early-2000s attitude. Looped just enough to get under your skin without rinsing the joke. You can already picture the rewind faces.
This is peak-time tech house built for that exact moment when the room’s locked and the DJ wants to reset the floor without killing the vibe. Not a hands-in-the-air moment. A grin in the booth moment.
For Paradox, this is a proper introduction. No nerves showing and debut energy. Just confidence and groove, it sounds like someone who’s spent time watching floors react, not staring at waveforms. CARTER (AU) keeps his run rolling too. Defected, South Of Saturn, TMRW Music, ARIA Club Chart Top 20s, big support across the board. But this one feels playful in a way that’s easy to forget club music can be. Serious about groove and not serious about itself.
GOODSIDE know exactly what they’re doing here. Club records with personality and the tools that still make you smile. Tracks you remember because they made the room feel good, not because they tried to be clever. ‘New Phone’ is that little hit of joy you didn’t know you needed at 2am. It’s got the fresh screen feel with no smudges.
We’re premiering CARTER (AU) & Paradox – ‘New Phone’ today on GOODSIDE.
