No stranger to the decks and the dynamics that work the more open-minded floors, Fat Dog has garnered support with his explosive 'Werk' parties in the North East, most recently paying host to the likes of the 3 Chairs, Omar S and Patrice Scott. This limited EP is testament to the wild basement energy that has culminated from these nights, beautifully pressed on wax for this first ever vinyl outing. 'Remember' is a swinging downbeat vocal track based around a superb vocal improvisation from newcomer Chris Raine. An ambitious opener, this is fine UK hip soul with warehouse dancefloor swagger to boot. Next track, the Benji B endorsed 'Cookie' strips the vocals right down into a swirling motif of sunrise energy. This track sounds great on the radio, but will also find favour on the more discerning soulful floors. For a contrast flip over for the kraftwerkian micro-tech of 'Contact' to hear what a 'Werk' party sounds like at a hazy-eyed 3am and finally, as if all this wasn't enough check out the dubby, spaced-out brawn of 'u&me' which sees second outing for vocalist Chris.... on this EP which rounds things off nicely. For fans of Firecracker, Exit records and Prime Numbers, this exciting and multi-faceted EP marries UK and Detroit influences with consumate ease. One to watch...
