Felix Da Housecat
Milan GU034
Mix: [COMPILATION + DOUBLE MIX ALBUM]
Label: Global Underground
Date: 16.05.08
A groundbreaking visionary whose unrelenting contribution to electronic music has spanned the past 20 years, Felix is currently baiting daytime UK airwaves with his latest single, ‘Radio’. Already a ‘Hottest Record In The World’ for Radio 1’s Zane Lowe and a staple in the shows of Pete Tong, Rob Da Bank, and many more, ‘Radio’ is lifted from his recent artist album, ‘Virgo Blaktro & The Movie Disco’, an impressive long-player that has further enhanced his pedigree.
Felix has long maintained a presence beyond the prism of dance music; critics and bloggers alike have cited him as a worthy heir apparent to the greats of modern black music, recognising that his contributions have followed in the lineage begun by figures such as Sly & The Family Stone, Parliament, and Prince. Following on from 2001’s ‘Kittenz And Thee Glitz’ (the album that unwittingly spawned electroclash), and 2004’s ‘Devin Dazzle & The Neon Fever’, ‘Virgo Blaktro’ tapped into his roots, but equally took him off into new directions, making him as relevant as ever for a 21st century dancefloor.
