It has been a fairly quiet year for Drenched really, other work commitments has meant that not a lot of time has been spent on me producing new music for the label, so was with great surprise when I got an email from the people behind the Balance CD compilation series requesting to use Heavy by Feline 9 on Joris Voorn's forthcoming mix. To be honest I was a little confused as to why he wanted to use that track bearing in mind that it's not particularly new and is the most ridiculously minimal track that has ever graced the Drenched catalog. It then later all made sense when it came to light that this was no ordinary mix CD but included over 100 tracks and to use the marketing blurb was a 'painting with sound' concept. Sounds dubious, but the final mix is phenomenal (admittedly CD1 where Feline 9 does not feature is the better of the 2 CDs).
Other artists on the CD include Radiohead, through to Goldie, Leftfield, Jimpster, Aphex Twin, Dubfire, System 7, Minilogue, Cobblestone Jazz, Emmanuel Top, Joakim, Âme, Mood II Swing, Ricardo Villalobos, Radio Slave, Carl Craig, Flying Lotus, Marc Romboy, Robert Babicz, Tiger Stripes to name a few, so you can see that Feline 9 is the natural choice to sit along these small time producers.
Buy/download/borrow/steal it and you wont be disappointed - unless of course you don't like house and techno in which case you'll probably hate it.
