The next release from Animals Dancing comes from Tokyo DJ & producer, Mayurashka! 

  This 4 track EP combines bouncy arps, proggy basslines and FM synthesis that mingle with bubbly SFX, synth risers and field recordings, resulting in a sprightly, atmospheric collection of club tracks for leftfield adjacent dancers.

Guidance To The Sennou EP

Naarm/Melbourne’s Animals Dancing return with I Wanna Feel You, the debut acid-laced EP from Berlin-via-Tokyo’s supreme chug lord, Courtney Bailey, and the twelfth release on the label.

Across three versions of the acidic, floating title track, Bailey delivers varying degrees of atmosphere, coupling her hazy vocals—drifting between English and Japanese—with an undulating acid line and crisp percussion.

On shamanic stomper Animals Ate the Mushroom, manic percussion madness meets calls of the wild, while I Feel the Future finds a middle ground with animalistic sirens, SFX, bubbly acid lines, and distant vocals, driven by an FM bass line and tight, punchy percussion.

Released on Wurundjeri Country. Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.

“A girl suddenly woke up in a strange city, but something was wrong. There were only animals there.”

Melbourne party enthusiasts Animals Dancing launch their self titled label with the sophomore release from Krautback duo Coober Pedy University Band (Tornado Wallace & William Paxton AKA Tom Moore of Otologic). Kookaburra, once described as "a bit too mental for me", continues in the vein of their Moon Plain release, but this time takes it a step further. Perhaps too far.

Animals Dancing continues its quest for world domination with a double A side of Russian intelligence from Moscow’s Leonid Lipelis.

As the title would suggest, these two sides come from Lipelis’ private arsenal of club tracks, beef’d up and shared with the people after some friendly persuasion.

Melbourne party troupe, Animals Dancing return with the label’s sixth disc, Psytube; a mind-melting trip from Lyon duo, The Pilotwings. 

The synth-heavy house pair, synonymous with the BFDM label channel their digi synth euphoria into trance not trance and acid atmospheres across a four track EP. 

From the subtle breaks and pan flute/acid combo of Trance En Aubrac, steady synth flutter of Future Glouglou to the full tilt restless psychedelia of Yakado and cinematic acid stepping Gig in the Ocean, 

The Pilotwings once again showcase their tongue in cheek nods to the past with production launching into the future.

Released March 29 2019 - Distributed by Wordandsound, Germany

Netherlands-based LA producer, Diego Herrera returns to the Melbourne party imprint, Animals Dancing for its seventh release; this time under his Suzanne Kraft alias. 

Across three tracks, Herrera showcases his method in the madness, expertly fusing glistening pads, warm synthesis, razor-sharp percussion & frenetic bass lines.

Suzanne Kraft - More Desire

Melbourne imprint Animals Dancing & Dutch producer, Dazion present a little surprise during these dystopian days we find ourselves in. A fast-tracked, straight to digital pre-release for all of humanity to dance in the apocalypse in self-isolated pleasure (before the vinyl is released).

On Animals Dancing’s eighth disc, Dazion aka Cris Kuhlen lets rip with three psychoactive, percussion-laden mind benders for all good dance floors.

A tweaked vocoder mantra speaks in tongues across interlaced layers of live percussion on ‘Yu Go Bah’ before sirens ring in the distant chants.

Blood Moon takes the marching band down to the basement, fusing more twisted percussion with electro squelch to soundtrack the sweat rain down from the heavens.

’The Chant Of Celebrational Beings’ beckons in a sunrise as the last inklings of serotonin jerk a tear to your eye.
