10 Tracks That Inspired MOTEL PHANTASMA and Their Claptrap EP

Every once in a while, a project comes along that shakes things up and reminds you why you fell in love with club music in the first place. That’s exactly what MOTEL PHANTASMA did to me. Their debut Claptrap EP on Razor-N-Tape feels raw, fearless, and totally alive, the kind of music that makes you want to lose track of time on the dancefloor. Talking to them about the ten tracks that shaped their sound was a trip: from Brazilian USB stick treasures and hypnotic riddims to bucket-list collabs they dream about. This is music with no filter, just instinct, sweat, and groove, and I’m excited to share it with you.

MP – TUNAJIBAMBA – our first drop, so it’s very special for us!

We LOVE this groove and the cover is so cool!

Years ago on a trip to Brazil we were given a USB stick filled with samples and live MPC beats by DJ Edgar and our life changed.

4We’re suckers for good vocals, and this is right up our alley!

LESS IS MORE!!

We Want to make a song with Moonchild Sanelly!

Everything ObonJAyar touches is pure gold, another bucket list collaboration for us!

We love the DEPTH of this Riddim groove!

Our debut on Razor-N-Tape

Go girls!

Summary

Huge thanks to MOTEL PHANTASMA for taking us inside the tracks that fuel their fire. Their Claptrap EP is more than a debut, it’s a bold statement that balances club toughness with deep musicality, and it’s out now on Razor-N-Tape. Go stream it, grab the vinyl if you can, and let these grooves move you well past summer.
