Michael Phase is a Dominican-American electronic music producer and artist, who initially became known for harder dance styles and collaborations with a number of labels, producers and companies, including Universal Music Group, Ashba, Cloud9, Kingsland Festival, Q-Dance, 2 Dutch and a lengthy list of others. Lately, Phase has been focused on fusing elements of UK House, hip-hop and techno with bass grooves inspired by Dubstep, melodic house and bass house, informed by an open-mindedness to new sound and concepts — and a desire to create a new, attention commanding lane for himself.

The recently released two-song Lost in Mvsic EP is the first bit of recorded material from the Dominican-American artist featuring his new sound and approach — and in the case of the EP the material is a blend of bass house, rave and tech house. Each song was written with the intention of allowing the listener to forget about their problems for a few minutes — and to let loose on the dance floor.

Clocking in a 2:40, EP opening track and EP title track “Lost in Mvsic” isbuilt around tweeter and woofer rattling beats, a monologue on music being a church and the DJ being a deacon, a chopped and looped soulful vocal sample, euphoria-inducing hooks paired with enormous drops. It’s a wildly accessible, crowd pleasing and bombastic banger that’s meant to inspire you to get off your ass and dance the pain, frustration and despair away for a few minutes. Believe me, it’s necessary.
