Not An Animal is a label that was born from the party debris left uncleaned from London’s infamous Bad Passion parties, run by Chris Stoker and Andy Bainbridge. The leftfield imprint’s next release comes from label co-pilot Andy Bainbridge himself, who has been DJing for over 25 years, and as an integral part of the Bad Passion crew together with Stoker, they ran their infamous parties in the East corner of London. Andy Bainbridge has DJ’d extensively throughout Europe and is a mainstay at festivals like Houghton and Love International. His music production includes making tracks as part of Machete Savane, Latrec and A.M Edits, with releases on Felix Dickinson's Cynic, Futureboogie and Is It Balearic. 
 
For his debut solo release on Not An Animal, Andy Bainbridge serves up a raw, late-night house dub, accompanied by sizzling remixes from Donaldʼs House and Komodo for good measure. ‘Up Too Much’ starts simply evoking house classics of old. Dubby percussion sets the genre, the Buchla synth wobbles that form the tracks melody are delicately peppered with acid sprinkles and a vocal garnish bringing the track squarely into the modern day to form a tough yet gentle roller.  Next off the pass is the Donaldʼs House remix, finely weaving the essence of the original mix into a proggy sidewinder, highlighting the acid arps previously lurking in the background and slowly melting the track into a delicious trancey mess. Closing out, Komodo kicks off in a classic Chicago style; claps, stabs and all, with vocal samples adding that extra texture for that knockout punch.

Not An Animal Records is made up of Andy Bainbridge and Chris Stoker and has always sat well on the left. The slick London imprint has been dancing around the club scene playing at the cooler end of the festival circuit for a decade with their wonky underground disco selections born out of their party, Bad Passion. This edge of the arc attitude is mirrored in their label output with a run of releases from the upper echelons of the scene from Man Power, Ian Blevins, James Hadfield, Que Sakamoto, Komodo, and Ponty Mython. On its next gift to the underground club world label co-head Andy Bainbridge steps in with his debut solo on his home label serving up much late nite goodness with a couple of remixes that will blow your mind.  The original cut ‘Up Too Much’ is an evocative classic house cut with lashings of acid, while the Donalds House Remix moves further to the left amping up the acid waves and the trance. Komodo’s Remix closes out in true Chicago style for the win.

PREMIERE: Andy Bainbridge - Up Too Much (Komodo Remix)

The weekends were getting longer, it were as if they party had gone on for far too long. It had never meant to be like this, the lack of sleep was becoming stark.

Back at the beginning people had used to as if you were 'up to much?' Now it was a case of being up too much.

There was only so long that the madness could continue - only so long before the cracks began to show. Was it all a little bit far fetched for what it was worth?

You bet...

Andy Bainbridge is set to release a new EP on Not An Animal - a pumping original paired with two futuristic club expansions which take the record further beyond.
