Cosy Creatures – Remastered Bits: Ultimate Anti-Hero Vol. 1 OUT NOW!
The Remastered Bits series continues with another fine Cosy Creatures installment released on vinyl only 12 years ago. JT Donaldson & Lance DeSardi were teaming up really often those days and their remix of ‘Espionage’ was huge back then and anno 2010 still sounding fresh… and now also remastered so even better! ‘You Got Me Tweeked’ is another funky disco affair in other words: ‘hands in the air’ and the Deep Fried Cosy Re-Interpretation of ‘Adventures In Dancing’ brings the slower house groove back to life making your fingers snap a thousand times.

The last two years have seen single Knights tracks featured on Drop samplers and the duo also released their 'Dust Till Dawn: 10 Years of Drop Music' compilation, but now the time is right to get back into the fold with some of that good stuff they've built their reputations on. So here you'll find some totally new and fresh dance floor goodness in the form of three tracks that sum up the IKs perfectly. If you don't know who the Inland Knights are... well in their own words they "write house music that's dead good!" Nuff said.
Selected Feedback
Mark Farina: "Great stuff"
Ralph Lawson: "sounds great, solid production and strong grooves…."
Dubfire: Rating 5/5, "wicked"
Miguel Migs: "more cool trax from the Knights"
Giom (Bobby & Klein): "This is exactly my kind of music. Great stuff as usual!" |

Mark Farina, San Francisco, CA: "Quality LP from one of Canada's (and North America's) leading Jackers. Some great floor rockers in there like “Ready to party”, “Without you” and “Be Urself”. My only complaint is why didn't I have these jams before!"
Full Length Album from Jason Hodges. It's a retrospect look into the past, a rediscovery of his work dating back as far as 1995 - all of them unreleased tracks! This LP definitely shows his evolution and growth as a producer and proof that Jason had the touch straight out the gate. It’s hard drums and funky grooves with that old school flavor you love. Expect to hear something for everyone on this LP, from deep to Tech House and all in between get ready for the raw drum sound and tight production that Hodges is known for!

Joshua IZ on Myspace

On his first true full length project 'It Iz What It Iz', Joshua Iz explores all of his many influences combining dubby house, downtempo, midtempo, latin, chicago jack and deep techno to create an incredible project worthy of an album debut. Joshua's collaborations with Diz and Chez Damier are definite standouts, while re-tooled and reinterpreted tracks from previous Vizual releases keep the listener engaged and engrossed without a dull moment. Included here is the massive 'Alpha & Omega' as well as house-tech crossover hit 'Flower Sparks' and these club tracks manage to not only fit seamlessly into the flow, but take on a new dimension within the project as a whole. All the tracks on 'It Iz What It Iz' were recorded in Chicago and this is evident as even the more laid back joints have a little jack going on. According to Joshua, this project is a musical bridge between where he has been and where he is going and as such, this is definitely an album you'll want to listen to all the way through - and nothing is stopping you from dancing while you do. If you are looking for a soundtrack for summer, this should be at the top of your list. Out June 2010 on Vizual Records. vizualrecords.com |
