The uncrowned king of nordic touched speedy house CJ Scott is back for his 3rd release on Art Alfie’s Velvet Pony label. The EP contains three dance floor focused tracks that’s been road tested thoroughly by Art Alfie himself over the past year with the conclusion ”never have so many super star dj ´s been brought out from the greenroom for a track id”.

You know when the dj drops something so special you’re mentally forced to ask for the track and the reply you get is ”its my own unreleased track”. That’s how I (Art Alfie) stumbled upon all three of these. About ten years ago I witnessed Van Rivers & The Subliminal Kid (Peder Mannerfelt) turn Berghain upside-down with the dark techno epos ”Mars Attacks”. Around the same time I had the luck to see Nils Westerlund boogle minds with the broken beat psychedelics of ”Suspiria” at a Stockholm Open Air. Last but not least, a couple of years ago I heard ”Thicker Than Blood” for the first time, like the Sirens in greek mythology, it lured people on to the dance floor at Stockholms classic summer hot spot F12. I’ve been playing these tracks ever since and Im beyond happy I get to share them with the world at this point. //Art Alfie More

After more than 10 years of making music it’s finally time for legendary stockholmian Måns Glaeser´s solo debut. In his baggage you´ll find everything from the 2012 album with Stay Gold that included the hits ”Backseat”(the most played track on Swedish radio the year of the release) and Wallpaper that was topping charts around Europe to feautures on Karlovak and Velvet Pony with label head Art Alfie to tours around the world with Savage Skulls. He´s also involved with ”Of The Meds”, a swedish house group with a couple of EPs out and more music coming up on Studio Barnhus. This includes three varied tracks. First out is the french filter house burner ”Velvet Tony”. followed by the suave swing of ”Angelina” and rounded with the organic headiness of ”o.0.O”. More

Next up to bat on Art Alfie’s Velvet Pony is Stockholm talent and Karlovak alumni Cj Scott and he hits way out of the park. The EP includes the highly anticipated track Peaktimekatten already featured on Baba Stiltz Resident Advisor mix along with two more housebombs both bearing CJ´s signature touch of speed and urgency stretched out over the full length capacity of a records side . His previous release on Karlovak gained huge support from the likes of Martinez Brothers and Cassy.. More

Art Alfie inaugurates his Velvet Pony imprint with a four track EP. The new label will function as a platform for the artist and his friends, shining light on a catalogue of music from the Stockholm scene. Having built a strong reputation alongside Mr. Tophat with a string of revered releases on the duo’s Karlovak imprint, Velvet Pony signals the opening of a new door for Art Alfie. The project arrives after a highly acclaimed album on Studio Barnhaus, as well as his first solo EP on Karlovak last year - on which the underground hit ‘Flaunting’ was featured. ‘Velvet Pony Trax 1’ sees Art Alfie brandishing his immaculate production technique over 4 distinct grooves. ‘Soft Spoken’ takes us to the twilight zone with low slung bass riffs and jazzy chords, whilst ‘Since I’ve Seen you’ offers a dubbed out dose of twisted disco for the after-hours. On the B side, ‘Hideouts’ pairs hypnotic percussion with an undeniable funk, and ‘Front’ - a co-production with Ma°ns Glaeser - raises the heat for an energetic finish. More
