“Surely Not” is a brilliant house number with Moodyman indebted drum pattern based around a soul edged vocal sample which unfolds into a deep late night groover. This is an essential release for Detroit aficionados. On the flipside Earl goes in with “British Knights” a frenetic subloaded tribal number with a lot of swagger and the odd nod to classic Todd Edwards and Afrika Bambaataa along the way. This one is all about the stabbing repetition and the infectious bass line that builds and builds euphorically until it drops into a rhythm track that commands the hips to move and the fist to punch the sky.

The impeccably talented Organ Grinder returns to the Catapult Records fold, with, believe it or not, only his 2nd solo single to date. The artist’s first sell out release ‘Obsession’ gained him some serious global attention with Steffi charting the title in her 2011 end of year round up for Clone. The Organ Grinder introduces vocalist Jessy Allen who’ll be a familiar name shortly with appearances on ‘What I Want’ by CRST (Forthcoming on Valve Records) and will also make an impression with her vocal contribution on the fourth studio album from High Contrast ‘The Agony and The Ecstasy’ on Hospital records. For this outing he offers a simple and accessible track with an anthemic scope whipping up a combination of some serious Teutonic funk and floor friendly, party-wise ‘golden era of house’ vibes.

For their third release Catapult Records follow the Organ Grinders New Age People & Obsession with another taste of retro house this time from Ratcatcher. Bubbledub and Nightlife are two classy house groovers that sits somewhere between strictly rhythm circa 94 and Keri Chandler in vibe. Bubbledub has a punchy bassline synched to some classy housey chords with a mean 808 groove. Nightlife has a classic vintage feel with crisp drums and distinctive strings throughout. The Ratcatcher started his production and Dj career as one part of the ‘Bigger Than Barry’ residents Chesus and Rodski. From there is was a logical progression to form the outfit CRST; a group with celebrated releases on labels such as Doc Daneeka’s Ten Thousand Yen, Car Crash Set, No Hats No Hoodies, Donga’s Well Rounded Records and Herve’s Deep Thrills. Ratcatcher has now embarked on a solo career, which has included a collaboration with Doc Daneeka on PTN(Ramp),remixes for the likes of Crystal Fighters and Cosmic Revenge and a residency at at Dalston’s infamous Rhythm Talk Party. Ratcatcher is launching his solo release career with an E.P. for Catapult Records and has a release scheduled with Granholme Recordings. More
