EMUH, back again to reveal the self, brings familiar dance genres in an unfamiliar way. In fresh fashion, while we navigate in the familiar of LSD, they bring the left field of ALD-52 to our auditory pathway. What begins as a jarring minimalism, grows to consume as the tech seeps in. The journey has begun and the giggles kick in as Funnybone delivers a tech house groove patient enough to keep our legs under us, but engaging our collective mind into a neuronal firing range. We are reminded that some journeys require a moment of reflection and Ostinato brings the musical rhythm that will have us dancing alone upon a magic mirror gate within a sea of people. Finally, what’s a sweaty night of learning, connecting and understanding, without a nostalgic cartoon homage like Jungle’s Lab, with hyper drum and bass kayutenezz, to empty our tanks only to crash blissfully after.

EMUH - ALD-52 EP

Every year Feral One opens up their demo submissions for a brief window, and only for Seattle area producers. It’s the world's window opportunity to hear who and what is going down in Seattle right now. 

This third volume has Longstocking kicking it off with their introspective indie vibes, which is often an underlying staple of Seattle music, regardless the genre. Like the track states, it’s a cutie, but with a moody inner coating. 

Next, I.S.H. levels up the energy bringing searing emerald heat with Bring It. It’s a banger Bass House track that will yank you from your thoughts, and toss you onto the dance floor. You’ll hear more from I.S.H. on FO come Winter. 

OG Feral One, EMUH, then leads us from “WTF?” to “F*ck yeah!”, which is a cunning balance this gem of a human has on lock. Fickle falls together in a way that tickles the mind. Its squeaks and tinges of old school will have your legs kicking and your heart swooning. 

Next, Jon Lee, a Seattle institution, goes Deep on the House track, Voyager. The purity of the synths and the tropical droning are magnetic, lulling you to something we now know we needed. 

A fitting transition to good old fashioned proper House is what Move Machine gifts us with Perfume Department. Wafting through, enticing us with the pulsing aroma of yesterday and the precision producing of today. 

Easily one of Seattle’s most talented dance duos, Lee Houser, gets Deep with Propera. While the perks ignite your hips into mode, the steady coolness of the bass keeps you hazed in. Brass stabs briefly wake you, to acknowledge the fact that you never want this jam to end. 

New duo to press their stamp on Seattle underground history is Intemporel Chốc Lát. Their track, I Just Wanted To Let You Know, wraps up this year's volume. Minimal, Deep and looming, this piece lets us know they are here and bringing a fresh heaviness to Seattle's ever divergent soundscape.

Seattle Volume 3

Global jet-setter, Kamila Toll, drops her Feral One Records sophomore release after making waves with her previous EP, Just Another Feeling. This new EP kicks off with Forget About Your Past, a dark synth pop sound that encourages the listener to wade through dark times. Kamila’s defiant vocals instill a strength that has us hooked on the EP instantly. The darkness continues with another moody track, Arito. The Japanese meaning is to exist or be present. Sometimes this is all we can do when we are working through troubling times. By the sounds of it, Kamila Toll was working through tough times in a way we can all gain from, in the studio. As the Fall weather arrives, this is an EP that is sure to highlight what is often an introspective season.

They will never shy away from an indie adventurous sound, which is why they’ll always be able to call Feral One a home. If a sound makes it hard to pinpoint as a dance genre, then you are in Feral One territory. EMUH is a true realm jumper, hybrid traveler and genre bender. Enjoy this soon to be Feral One classic.

Michael Beggs - Little Things EP

I.S.H / @1-s-h, a Palestinian American, and Longstocking / @djlongstocking are not ones to shy away from activism and human rights. It's important that artists reflect the times and Feral One is here to facilitate that. While Palestine struggles for its very existence, what are musical artists to do but create. I.S.H and Longstocking noticed a severe lack of Arab house music in club spaces and decided to do something about it. They deliver a deep house gem from the heart, with a deep tech backup remix from EMUH / @emuhmusic. All three artists have an established history with Feral One Records, so this EP is quite a family affair.

Oneironautics (/əneɪroʊˈnɔːtɪks/) refers to the ability to travel within a dream on a conscious basis. Such a traveler in a dream may be called an oneironaut.

Longstocking (Seattle, WA) and TKO (Calgary, AB) team up on the very first Feral One Records release. This new Seattle dance label will be one to watch for the sounds of today and tomorrow. The synergy on this collaboration is apparent, in that both styles shine through harmoniously. It's apparent, that Feral One Records is stepping out on adventurous footing, as this EP offers something lucid, different, fun and emotionally sincere.

In the history of dance music, certain times and places have been essential to the evolution of the culture. New York in the 1970s bringing the rise of disco. Chicago in the late 80s with the invention of house music.
Now Gold Bear, the DJ and producer out of California’s Bay Area, is adding Paris in the 1920s to that list with his new EP, 20s Paris, out now on Feral One Records.
So how does someone producing music in 2023 make 1920s Paris matter to dance music? Well, history buffs know that Paris in the 1920s wasn’t just a creative center for one artform. It was the central hub that defined the artistic trends around the world.
Artists like F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and Gertrude Stein descended on the French capital, spent their evenings smoking and drinking together, then left with some of their most legendary works to date.
Whether 20s Paris will be Gold Bear’s most legendary work remains to be seen, but within these two tracks, he captured that same creative spirit.
The EPs title track opens with a sense of wonder. No drums. Just atmospheric eclecticism. Whether the track will shape into house or hip hop or D&B; it’s not immediately clear until a four-on-the-floor kick lights the path ahead.
That path leads not to a steaming nightclub with lasers flashing at a jackhammers pace (neither lasers nor jackhammers existed in the 1920s) but instead to a moody lounge where creators of all kinds can gather and ideate together as chill, moody beats and pads coalesce in the background.
Then when everyone’s had their fill of sitting and talking, it’s time to rave it up to the second track, “Nasty.” Deep, heavy grooves. Big, towering kicks. A bumping, throbbing bass line. This track lives up to its namesake and more.

The dance music history of Spain comes to the foggy metropolis of Seattle on the latest release from Feral One Records, a three-track EP entitled Devil from the Seville-based electronic outfit Space Castorz.

Every new phenomenon within popular music comes with accusations of being “devil music.” It happened with jazz, rock, rap, and now electronic music is taking the hellish title via its association with pure debauchery.

The thing is, Space Castorz have been dancing with the devil for over ten years, and they’ve produced numerous genres during that time including dubstep and drum & bass, now moving towards house and techno.

The Devil EP in particular explores minimal sounds, with a trio of cuts that grab hold of your soul like Lucifer himself is possessing you to dance.

Beginning with “Bombon,” an affected vocal sample comes across like someone is so enthralled with the acid-tinged rhythms that they’re speaking in tongues. Not that anyone would need evil spirits to get them moving to this major groover.

The title track comes second with an equally effective minimal aesthetic, but with an added dose of intrigue through elements like an atmospheric, affected saxophone. The lyrics are clear this time, proudly proclaiming “Shit is the devil,” but with a seductive tone that elucidates this shit is real good.

Then to close, the Devil reveals himself with a shift to tech house on “Don’t Like.” Everything about this track is dark. From the galloping bassline pulled straight from a death metal band’s toolbox, to the haunting choral blast samples placed at the exact right moments, to the ominous breakdown that lets you know the prince of darkness is about to crash this party.

For over a year now, Denni Kindred, a.k.a. Longstocking, has been captaining the ship that is Feral One Records.

From the beginning her philosophy has been clear: pour into every release the unbridled love she feels for her hometown of Seattle while creating space for PNW artists to produce music that honors their own personal connection to the region (and to the dancefloor).

Now Longstocking is back with another release of her own on Feral One. A release that is the most extensive and diverse in the history of the label: her new album, Creating Space.

Seattle is Kindred’s space.

The musical contributions of Seattle and the PNW span all different genres and time periods, and the 16 tracks on Creating Space represent the diversity in sound and persona found within that space. It’s as much an alternative album as it is a dance album.

Kicking things off is “Good Stuff” (the title of which gives an unambiguous hint as to what is coming from the track and the rest of the LP). This track is just pure joy. There is a playful use of samples that plays like a child throwing different colored paints at the wall and ending up with a Jackson Pollack. Simultaneously, different string patterns, from arpeggios to chordal pads, provide a sense of acoustic groundedness, like that same child knew exactly what they were doing from the start.

“A Little Too Much” is another indicative title, communicating the degree of Kindred’s love of Seattle. The combination of rhythmic dulcimer strings and warm, inviting vocals is like the sonic version of a charter boat coasting on Puget Sound at sunset. The kick drum is just a reminder that after the boat docks, everyone is heading to the club.

But remember, this album is not just for the club. And past the halfway mark, “Bombom” comes in to combine hip-hop, breaks, and IDM into one delectable, heady whole. Where does each of these manifest? Hip-hop comes through in even more airtight sampling. Breaks are found in erratic drum patterns. And the synth passages are so gruesome, there is no other genre classification that remotely makes sense besides IDM.

The alternative side of the album reaches its zenith at “Office Window” when Kindred abandons all sense of dance music. But one thing she doesn’t abandon even slightly is a sense of groove. The drum kit glides along a swing beat that Coltrane would be happy to riff over, but instead of bebop tenor saxophone, it’s sound design that is equal parts precise and minimalistic.

To close is another curveball in the form of “Green & Me.” Given the context of this album, it should be clear that “Green” represents the lush, arboraceous environment of Seattle (as well as another plant that is as aromatic as it is combustible), and “Me” is Kindred, who so candidly shares over a serene lo-fi hip-hop beat that there’s no other place that she could ever be.

Rumors have swirled with the arrival of Arnaldo Messy. Whether he arrived by portal or a schism in the Universe, this is not important. What matters is that he is here and appears to be friendly. Some theorize it’s our dancing that powers him, but that is all hearsay. 

After hearing what has come from this anonymous being, it’s obvious he is so much more than lips, teeth and a lush mustache. The first track, Confusion, comes gurgling through and does exactly that. At first you can’t help but wonder what is going on with this Tech House odyssey and where is he leading us. The groovy bass swallows synth beats as they curve past. Bouncing electronic shots guide you through what will end up being a sweaty smiling mess.

The EP gets capped off with Wut. It’s at this point we know we’ve gone from WTF to F*CK YES, which sums up the Arnaldo Messy chaos. We start off clapping our way through an otherworldly build up only to drop off into shifting bass lines. Do we ever find answers? Nope. Do we really need it when deep down the answer is exactly what you are doing, dancing?

If Arnaldo Messy is tapping into where he came from, it’s a land of lasers, bass and shaking it. Wherever he came from, please don’t leave us, as we have plenty of moves to fuel your mojo.

After over a year of diverse, exciting, and utterly danceable releases, Longstocking’s Feral One Records has proven that the Feral Ones are everywhere. Now for the label’s latest release, three Feral Ones have arisen in a city just south of the label’s home in Seattle: Portland, Oregon.

The three artists in question are: 

Loopacabra, a staple of Portland’s local house community who has opened for prominent headliners like Matroda, Nala, and TOKiMONSTA, among many others, in addition to performing at Burning Man.

[E]mpress, a PDX rapper with the versatility to spit her fierce rhymes over any sound or style. 

Mienne, another stalwart of Portland’s house scene who has shared the stage with VNSSA and Mary Droppinz, and shared the studio with Loopacabra on several occasions.

Together, Loopacabra and [E]mpress produced a track entitled “High Freq Vibe,” which captures the shared old-school energy of rap and dance music. Both of these genres came from an explosion of repressed expression, launching confidence and personality into the air in sonic form.

This new single is an extension of that legacy as Loopacabra’s raucous synth work matches [E]mpress’s precise yet rapid-fire orations. This is the kind of track that is perfect for an outdoor celebration where high vibrations flow without impediment. Then Mienne’s remix takes those same vibrations and refines them into something dark and fluid. Same energy, but this time it’s flowing in the club.

When Victoria BC’s Michael Beggs made his debut on Feral One Records with his EP, Way You Feel, he demonstrated his identity as a music producer who can explore the emotional depth of his audience.

Now with the new remix package for “Mad Hatter,” the final track on the EP, it’s clear that Beggs, deep down, prefers to have his audience going freakin’ crazy on the dancefloor.

The Mad Hatter is the ringleader of the off-their-rocker cast of hooligans in Alice in Wonderland, and these four remixes demonstrate how Beggs leads his audience into total insanity.

Beginning with his own VIP of “Mad Hatter,” Beggs sets the tone of the remixes good and nutty. Where his original captured the power of minimalism, he doesn’t hold anything back on the VIP. The fog horn that lands on the second drop isn’t a fog horn at all. It’s a roar of gruesome energy punctuated by some happy melodic instances that are like makeup and a cruel smile that (used to) keep the crazy at bay.

The second remix takes things in a breakbeat direction. Because of the scattered drums, breaks always have more room for madness. Especially when they’re produced by the Feral One veteran, EMUH. As the Seattle stalwart has done on numerous FO releases before this, EMUH understands the (loony) assignment. Extended vocal samples and forward-moving chords dance around each other while other seemingly random effects like backspins appear out of nowhere. It’s insane. But it totally works.

dopecreature’s deep tech rework is all about controlled madness. The track starts with jittery samples buzzing around the steady and solid four-on-the-floor. A little teaser of the mood swing that’s about to hit. Suddenly an epic synth build-up akin to the unmistakable THX intro rumbles up from nothing before massive amalgams of sound design burst through the seams. It’s hard to believe such a tight-knit beat could contain what was hiding beneath the surface.

Then for the finale, Phrase takes his remix into a direction that is probably most often labeled “mad” in all of dance music: drum & bass. And yet, he was able to find even more madness with circular synths hypnotizing listeners like an undulating pocket watch while the drums exist at the maximum level of erratic. Feral One doesn’t put out much D&B, but when they do, it’s always welcome.
