FDR 001 by FATDOG

No stranger to the decks and the dynamics that work the more open-minded floors, Fat Dog has garnered support with his explosive 'Werk' parties in the North East, most recently paying host to the likes of the 3 Chairs, Omar S and Patrice Scott. This limited EP is testament to the energy that has culminated from these nights, beautifully pressed on wax for this first ever vinyl outing. Check!'Remember' is a swinging downbeat vocal track based around a superb vocal improvisation from newcomer Chris Raine. An ambitious opener, this is fine UK hip soul with warehouse dancefloor swagger to boot. Next track, the Benji B endorsed 'Cookie' strips the vocals right down into a swirling motif of sunrise energy. For a contrast flip over for the kraftwerkian micro-tech of 'Contact' to hear what a 'Werk' party sounds like at a hazy-eyed 3am and finally, check out the dubby, spaced-out brawn of 'u&me' which sees second outing for vocalist Chris on this EP which rounds things off nicely.
