Returning for their second collaboration, Felix Da Housecat and Kristin Velvet join forces again for ‘Cats Love Velvet II’ on Berlin-based label, Arms & Legs. An unlikely pairing, Felix hails from Chicago whilst Kristin is from an isolated farm in outback Australia. Despite their different backgrounds the duo share a love for bold jacking beats and strong hooks with a subtle nod to the classics.
Collaborating earlier this year for ‘Cats Love Velvet’, the two producers now return for the sequel landing once again on Arms & Legs – Daniel Steinberg and Nils Ohrmann’s imprint helmed by Velvet herself. ‘Cats Love Velvet II’ is their second outing on Arms & Legs - two house cuts that highlight the strengths of both producers.
Rough and raw 'Acid Picky' is a jacking dance floor track. On the flip, 'Swing Special' is a funky techno tool with paired-back precision, layering the most basic ingredients - a punchy kick, insidious lyrics and hypnotic synths.
it’s out 16 November.
