Our hero met singer Romina Cohn in a club late one night, after having heard her track ‘I Just Want To Be The Residents’. As it turned out, Felix misheard the song’s refrain, and told the singer “I loved ‘I Just Want To Be A Lesbian!’”. She laughed and told him that he’d sadly misunderstood the lyrics somewhat – but in typical Felix carpe diem fashion, he suggested they record a tune together with the lyrics as he’d heard them. Et voilà: this dark and dirty banger was born.

It’s a slow-burning journey, all throbbing monotone bass, and vintage tribal percussion ticking and chugging away as Romina’s heady vocals seduce your ears into submission. Big snare rolls up the ante to boiling point before the track implodes in on itself and melts back down to nothing more than a kick drum and a bassline. Felix’s ‘Thee Loverz Raw Cut’ Remix fires up the techno intensity and provides an intense big room version, while his Aphrohead remix goes for bouncy tech house with a menacing twist.

ore stellar remixes come from Riton (chugging electro filth and trap-style bass heaviness respectively), hot new talent Cloud (‘90s house vibes with a touch of deepness), Hot Creations & Defected signing Human Life (big dancefloor gear with serious sub bass) and Bedrock’s Eagles & Butterflies (hypnotic and moody tribal tech).

With a weekly residency at Space Ibiza’s new night and this huge package coming in two parts (May 27th and June 10th), Felix will be omnipresent over the next few months. We’ll all want to be lesbians this summer…

The wait is finally over. After many months plotting away in dark studios and road-testing his freakish creations in smoky clubs and epic festivals across the world, Felix Da Housecat returns with a truly monstrous EP. Since his masterful 2011 opus ‘Son Of Analogue’, he’s been lurking in the shadows, pushing his distinctive sound in new directions and patiently waiting for the moment to strike back and remind us why we fell in love with his unique shtick in the first place. That moment is now.

One of dance music’s true characters and pioneers, he has consistently delivered throughout his career, whatever musical incarnation he’s been inhabiting. From the thumping techno sounds of his ‘90s era, to helping create the blueprint for the electro clash explosion of the early 2000s, to dragging Diddy onto the dancefloor via their groundbreaking hip-hop/house collaboration, he has rarely stood still and has created explosive material in each and every project.

2013 is going to be a huge year for the charismatic Felix, with several EPs dropping on Brooklyn, NYC-based label ‘No Shame’ (in association with Felix’s imprint ‘Rude Photo’), some big collaborations and remixes, a new album on the way and a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix on 22^nd Feb, which will be streamed live for the world to watch for the first time in its history. The ‘Sinner Winner’ EP is the first taste of this sizzling new material, serving up two markedly different tracks that are bound by the common goal of making thousands of asses shake in unison.

‘Give Me Body’ is a rampant electro-disco workout, camp as you like and brimming over with effervescent energy. An infectious vocal, trumpet and bass loop works its slinky way around Felix’s sharp, dramatic live percussion and intense filters, coming across somewhere between Daft Punk and Sylvester.  “I love my ‘70s / ‘80s disco and haven’t done a track in this vein in ages,” says Felix, “so I figured I would do something hooky and fun! It’s not rocket science… when we dancing in them clubs we all want a lil’ BODY!” Not rocket science, but certainly rocket fuel.

Concept tracks are usually contrived rubbish, but ‘Sinner Winner’ pulls it off in serious style. Felix explains his vision: “Basically in thee night-time fun world, we all find ourselves sinnin’, so I had this idea of a preacher from the South in thee deep bible district finding his way into sinner clubland. He grabs the mic and just starts ranting, but then all of a sudden the pastor gets caught up in thee nightlife fun world… and start becoming a hypocrite!”. This delicious yarn is spun through a slow-building crescendo of offbeat claps and niggling synths before a supremely funky and crisp bassline arpeggio slams its way in. Tense organs and warped vocal edits heighten the chaotic atmosphere, making for a unique romp through the deranged mind of this inimitable legend. It’s that description, which made Green Velvet want to jump on board for a very special remix — watch this space!

Don’t say we didn’t warn you: 2013 is The Return of Thee Housecat…
