 Felix Da Housecat
2007's Virgo Blacktro & The Movie Disc saw the Prince-obsessed Felix return to his musical roots, to create an album he calls, 'a sexy, black, electronic disco record' as it harkens back to the likes of Parliament's p-funk, but also updates classics like his own old school number, The Dawn, with a whole new beat.
So, in short, Felix is one of the old school who never stopped moving forward - a good choice for Global Underground's first mix of 2008. GU as a label is indelibly linked with the progressive house sound of the 90s, but things have changed in clubland; a fact not lost on Andy Horsfield and James Todd, the heavyweight personalities behind the label.
Since their 90s heyday (when the pair were known as 'The Fat Lads' within the industry party-scene) when they started the GU compilations with hard house innovator Tony De Vit in Tel Aviv, Horsfield and Todd have made many shrewd choices in making Global Underground one of the best-known DJ compilation series in the world, so their choice of Felix to share his love of Milan is no fluke.
Musically of course, this will be a treat: Shinichi Osawa's remix of Felix's own hit, Radio; Chip E's It's House; Josh Wink's Thick As Thieves; Thomas Bangalter's Outrage and Dubfire's Emissions all make an appearance on what could be a truly inspired mix outing for one of dance music's most original artists.
