CC:DISCO! — Prize Winning Horse EP

Cc:Disco! – Prize Winning Horse EP arrives on PHANTASY SOUND as catalogue PH158, a 12-inch vinyl that captures a vivid cross-border party spirit. The five-track record, limited to 300 copies in a full-colour sleeve with a printed inner, follows the artist’s earlier appearance on the label with the “Chez Moi” remix and pushes further into the queer, left-field corners of house, disco, Italo and cosmic pop. Within the PHANTASY SOUND catalogue, Prize Winning Horse EP sits after a string of releases that have explored a range of club-centric sounds: Roman Flügel’s “Tippex In My Eye (ft PYTKO)” (PH152), Felix Da Housecat’s “Test Press (Aphrohead Remix / Erol Alkan Re-Edit)” (PH154) and the label-defining “Buzz Saw” by Factory Floor (PH153). Earlier entries such as “Fools Are Friendly” (PH151A) and “Space 1999 / Bergen Light Rail” (PH156) illustrate the label’s commitment to forward-thinking dance music, a context that frames Cc:Disco!’s new EP as a continuation of that adventurous line-up. Side A opens with “Only You ft Jennifer Loveless”. The track places Loveless’s vocals at the centre of a shimmering arrangement that balances romance and sensuality, while a subtle undercurrent of acid trance and breakbeat texture adds a sense of orbiting tension. The energy then eases into “On Dust ft CD”, a lower-tempo groove that recalls late-nineties electronica, its measured pulse evoking the era when club remixes often lived on B-sides. The third cut, “Prize Winning Horse ft Alda”, shifts the mood toward a rubbery, EBM-tinged rhythm that rides a westward melody, delivering a sensory overload that feels both defiant and celebratory. Side B begins with “Thunder From Down Under ft Shivani Sen, P Nut”. Drawing on the artist’s Antipodean roots, the track delivers a heavy-hitting slab of club hypnosis, intertwining the voices of two multidisciplinary London talents. Its sprawling, border-crossing jam builds a primal demand that is both universal and commanding. The EP closes with “Just 4 You ft Jennifer Loveless”, returning to Loveless’s entrancing vocal guide and a glistening arrangement that blends romance with a pressurised dancefloor energy, rounding off the record with a sense of resolved passion. Prize Winning Horse EP occupies a distinctive spot in Cc:Disco!’s evolving output. After the “Chez Moi” collaboration that introduced the artist to the label’s audience, this EP demonstrates a broader palette, incorporating guest vocalists and a range of subcultural influences that expand the artist’s house-disco vocabulary. Within PHANTASY SOUND’s 2026 roster, the release deepens the label’s reputation for curating forward-looking, genre-blending dance music. For DJs, the record offers a versatile toolkit: “Only You” and “Just 4 You” provide vocal-driven peaks for peak-time moments, while “On Dust” and “Thunder From Down Under” supply deeper, mood-setting sections suitable for early-set grooves or transitional passages. The rubbery rhythm of “Prize Winning Horse” works as a bridge between the more melodic and the more driving parts of a set, allowing seamless movement across styles. The physical package is a 12-inch vinyl, pressed in a limited run of 300 copies, housed in a full-colour sleeve with a printed inner. The presentation underscores the release’s collectible nature without relying on additional format descriptors.
