Like hangovers, labels come and labels go. One week's must have is next week's must not, in a world fully loaded with hyperbole it's seems just as important to spin a story as it is a record. Whilst we could go on some sort of extended written monologue about how this label is different, about how we care about music and about this is our dream like some PR-fed X-Factor contestant. That would be both really boring and completely pointless, more hype and no knickers.
Hissy Fit is the brainchild of the Moustache Mamas, part Berlin, part London composed of a US East-Coast sensibility and a UK North East sense of humour. It's a vehicle to be able to work with the artists and release the music they love, to give something physical (yes all releases will be pressed on vinyl) to the people that spend all that time dancing when the girls are DJing.
The Mamas have then built up a reputation of being Grade-A party starters across Europe, playing at the rawest of parties, and outshining some of the boys in the 'boys club'. Their approach to DJing is mirrored in their approach to starting Hissy Fit, the girls are serious about their music even if the music itself doesn't need to be serious.
For its first release Hissy Fit welcomes aboard Leeds Based 'Death On The Balcony'. This year they've been cosying up to the likes of Soul Clap and the Wolf and Lamb posse, as well as being booked to play all over the damn place causing hissy fits of epic (yet joyous) proportions. The EP contains three originals, and kicks off with 'Every Time' a synth-laced house jammer that brings in the clap & the punch with just the right 'Oomph' for the kids on the floor
'Gimme That Stuff' is a slo-mo stunner in the best possible way, it's a dark and brooding call to arms, the perfect early night weapon with more chug than a steam train whilst never disappearing down a long dark tunnel...
The EP also debuts the Mama's first ever piece of production work. Their track, '21 & Lewis' stylistically, perfectly, represents the direction the ladies have been moving in over the last year or so. They take their tune and sleaze it to within an inch of its dirty little life. It's straight up, proper (as people seem inclined to call it these days) house music. It's intentions being pretty obvious, get down or get out!
