Welcome back to Incognitus Recordings! We hope you had a cracking new year's and that INCO003 kicks it off with a bang! Bouncing in to the frontline we present you KAT NINE and his debut release, the ‘Messie Bessie EP’ featuring the vocal legend that is ROBERT OWENS! 

Kat Nine (formerly Eliot F) hails from the depths of the Cambridge underground dance music scene, we’ve been following him for a while now and watching his DJ career flourish all around the UK through clubs and festivals. After talks and several white russians he hopped on the Incognitus train bringing 4 tracks of entirely unique and personalized, nostril vibrating techno along for the journey. 

Kicking off the EP we have the namesake ‘Messie Bessie’ and that instant recognition of those nose shaking bass frequencies that you know is a certified signature of production skill and a dance floor veteran. Taking vocal snips from the late great Bessie Smith, Kat Nine has created a driving techno beat that steers clear of this monotonous repetitive techno that floats around so freely at the moment. With its catchy vocals and soul warming bass line you know this will get the bodies shaking.

Pumping up the already cranked levels of bass we move on to ‘You and I’ featuring the voice of house music, the epitome of style, the master of vocal groove - Robert Owens! ‘You and I’ boasts the deep warbling connotations of DC10 when underground reigned supreme and remained beneath the surface of dance music and techno was for those who needed to know and didn’t follow a musical genre – just a solid beat. The combination of Kat Nine and Robert has created this vocal journey from the depths of creation from Kats' personality contrasted with Roberts' classic style and what has been drawn from the speakers is truly awesome, we can’t wait for this to be powered out of sound systems in the coming months.

Rolling through the bass tones we come to ‘Miss Take’, this melodic groover showcases more of an intricate side of Kat Nine and what his style and imagination are about. The track cruises with disjointed rhythms that create an encompassing audible sway to the body and gentle twists to your mental state, slightly tripped out with meticulous drum patters that role you through the night.

Closing the EP down we finish on ‘Poppin Off’, moving away from the standard four to the floor styles, this track pushes out distant riffs and vocal flicks which culminate to exhibit more of the unique styles of Kat Nine, a subtle twist of contrition to this debut EP.

Out late January from all good download stores!

INCO003 - Kat Nine - Messie Bessie EP Feat. Robert Owens (Clips)

Welcome back to Incognitus Recordings! We are really getting into our stride now and 2014 is shaping up to be a great year for us! 

INCO004 comes bouncing into fruition from the rising London star that is Tom Frankel! We have been good friends with Tom since his very first days on the scene and it has been amazing to watch him grow, from DJing all over Europe to hosting his sell out night ‘More Than Bare’ at The Egg, London. His production has come on in massive steps with a string of releases on labels such as Funkoloko & Dog Records and we’re thrilled to be featuring him on Incognitus.

His EP titled ‘Original Warehouse Sounds’ features his self-proclaimed pinnacle style of bass driven tribal tech, with its punchy atmosphere and big room persona the EP boasts 2 tracks that are fundamentally Frankel. Both tracks have already received amazing reactions from their live debuts at EGG London, Fire (Vauxhall) and Multivision in Belgium so we know it’s going to be a belter of a release for both Tom and us.

On remix duties we have drafted in Evo Music’s Andy Lemac, his remix of Original Warehouse Sound puts out that vibe that we have come to know all to well from Andy, with its live drums and rolling bass line it is a brilliant contrast to the thumping energy.

Set for release May 5th.

INCO004 - Tom Frankel - Original Warehouse Sounds EP OUT NOW!!!

Welcome back to Incognitus Recordings! After the huge response from INCO004 with Tom Frankel we are extremely excited to be serving up our fifth release! Coming back from INCO002 we are now delivering a four track EP from the deep Swiss groove of Lexfinger. 

Lexfinger has created three tracks of definitive style and class and with a solid remix from another INCO002 original – Tension, this EP will be set to ooze grooves from the beaches of Ibiza to the underground backrooms of Berlin. 

“Rutger (I will follow)” opens the doors with a subtle push, combining progressive string snippets with dissonant vocals that float through the track being carried by the gentle bounce of the bass line. Tension has contrasted this beautifully with his remix, driving the bass line into a solid melodic roller and increasing that energy level to give new life to a dance floor.

“Giallo” arrives at pace with punchy drums and full bodied throb on the bass line, organ notes bounce around and create an encompassing atmosphere for the listener, definitely a big club track.

Closing off the release with “Makemewanna” we are wound back down with the downtempo groove, steady percussion and faded vocals that drift in and out of the mix are contrasted by the blast of square waved tinges to the bass line and tumbling drum rolls. 

Keep an eye out for INCO006 coming at the end of the summer!

INCO007 roles in from our resident London star Mr Tom Frankel! 

Tom has been serving up consistent belters and we're loving the chance to help push him further up the ladder! Trickbaby boasts that sweaty basement grit that would be at home in a Sankeys basement or a DC10 terrace! With its solid edged bass line and punchy drums we're in awe of the funktion one busting beast.

We felt like this EP needed a special touch and there was only one man we had in mind for the remix - Ben Grunnell. Another rising UK star, Ben has been receiving consistent support from the likes of Marco Carola, Loco Dice, Russ Yallop, Horatio, Rafa Barrios, David Herrero, Fideles, Chus + Ceballos - So we were ecstatic when he wanted to take on remix duties. 

Ben's tricked out rework oozes style and subtle grooves and we know it will get the recognition it deserves! 

We have a potential to release this on 12" over the summer as well so please show it some love if you want the wax! 

Digi release 29/5/15

Thanks for the support!

Much love as always.

INCO007 - Tom Frankel - Trickbaby

After a great summer of parties and music we managed to throw out one last hoorah! 

The spectacled legend that is Wally Lopez has been chatting with us a lot over the summer after his support of both INCO005 and INCO007 on his radio show and sets. 

Wally said he would love to put a release out out with us and we jumped at the chance! "London Trip" blast those last waves of Ibizan sunshine from speakers and straight to your brain. With its huge progressive chords and those typical tribal beats that we know and love from Wally, London trip will get you get you moving.

Alvaro Smart's "Stripped" mix amplifies that raw edge to the bass line and sharpens up the percussion to get the tech house tweek. - A great remix for those early warm up sets in dark basement clubs. 

Lexfinger continues to impress with his ear for texture and groove and this deep house bopper is no different. With its rolling progressive synth lines and encompassing bass this is a track to you keep you warm at 7am as the afterparty gets weird. 

Release date 13/11/15
