Phonogenic—aka Tuomas Salmela—makes a triumphant return to Moodmusic with his first EP in years, Flight Years. A pillar of the label since day one, Tuomas has helped define its sound alongside founder Sasse and fellow visionaries Jepe and Ed Ed. Now, nearly three decades into his journey, hes back with a release that bridges eras with effortless class. Flight Years is a genre-blurring deep dive into the many shades of house music—sophisticated, soulful, and unmistakably Phonogenic. Opening with the title track, Tuomas channels the golden age of New Yorks deep house scene, layering lush strings and a weighty groove in a nod to Nu Grooves legacy. Next, Sunset Snuset shimmers with SVEK-inspired minimalism—Scandinavian in tone, yet future-facing in its sleek execution. Really Pushing It flips the script with a cheeky blend of French house swing and broken rhythm invention—3-step swagger meets loop-driven euphoria. Its playful, smart, and primed for club action. Finally, Hotwell closes the EP on a high, drawing from early 90s Sheffield bleep and blending it with that signature Nordic touch. Its a slow-burning anthem with wide-ranging appeal—perfect for opening sets, peak-time builds, or the last track of the night. With Flight Years, Phonogenic proves hes not just back—he never really left. This is a masterclass in timeless house music, delivered by one of the originals.
