Guest weasel Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 Tension is by far my personal favorite track of the year, be sure to check it out!!LOT49 NEWSLETTER - SEPTEMBER 2009 PART 2MEAT KATIE- TENSION EPLot49 label boss and tech funk pioneer Meat Katie is a man well renowned for his outstanding collaborative releases, but it has to be said there is something quite special about those rare releases where we get to see Meat Katie’s sound stripped bare and solo. The Tension EP not only features MK recording solo, but there also isn’t a remix insight, this is pure unadulterated tech funk from one of the genres founding fathers.The opening cut The Real El Santos kicks things off with a dark edged techno rub that draws on heavy twisted bass and synth lines to whip up an intense dancefloor vibe. Needles and Pins is up next, taking things into a deep warehouse groove with tight drums and distorted hits. This is a superbly dirty piece of tech funk that is bound to find favour across the board. Penultimate track Lucia lifts the intensity another notch with reverb laden drums and a killer rolling b-line, add some top end bleeps, squelches and stabs and you have a monster of a tune! Final piece Tension is a slice of tech infused house music with a vocal sample that is guaranteed to get stuck in your head and in ironic opposition to its title this is a truly warm and engaging piece of music that leaves you feeling like you’ve spent a weekend in the sun - sterling stuff!Listen on SoundcloudMeat Katie’s Tension EP is out now on BeatportKeep up with Meat Katie’s antics on TwitterODISSI - EMPTY VODKA BOTTLESWith a CV that reads "producer, vocalist, DJ, pin-up model for alt-porn site suicidegirls.com and former Stringfellows dancer" Odissi has no shame in admitting that she’s made her mark on the scene by moulding her image from an unusual combination of undeniable talent and unshakeable controversy. While her raunchy photoshoots, habits for turning up to gigs in her underwear, and shameless blogging of her weekend debauchery never fails to raise a few eyebrows, her signature electro-punk vocal style and polished production skills have landed her a multitude of collaborations with some of the biggest names in dance music.Here with "Empty Vodka Bottles" she unleashes her trademark electro-tech sound complete with an infectious groove that pulls the track along while disorientating strings and an array of quirky synths perfectly compliment Odissi’s sultry story telling of obsessional love and romance gone wrong."She was the victim, of all your cold advances, empty vodka bottles reflect the camera flashes, that chase away the lifeless shadows laying on the floor, you left her breathless here, but she’s not breathing anymore..."On remix duties we have Jon Gurd injecting a touch of the tribal, breakbeat boys Pyramid providing an anthemic, peak-time twist on the original and last but certainly not least Kid Blue rounding things up with a techno mix saturated with his undeniable attention to detail and solid grooves."Empty Vodka Bottles" is OUT NOW on Beatport - go get it!!!SATURDAY 10th OCTOBERNEXT LOT49 LONDON PARTY!Lot49 presents...Lee Coombs ’Light and Dark’ Album Launch PartyLEE COOMBSMEAT KATIEDYLAN RHYMESKID BLUECANINESOUNDSDAMO BULLET+ VISUALS FROM VJ ANYONEHub, 2 Goulston Street, E1 7PT 10pm-6amYes that’s right, the Lot49 parties are back with a huge all-nighter in London to celebrate the launch of Lee Coombs’ ’Light & Dark’ album!
