Fur Coat - Berlin Chronicles EP (CRM142)

Back onboard the Crosstown Rebels mothership with some serious dancefloor business, Venezuelan duo Fur Coat deliver three of their most accomplished tracks to date with the "Berlin Chronicles EP".

"We've worked on the EP since coming back from BPM Festival in Mexico and have been hammering the tracks in every show. We feel each track has a real identity that fits amazingly well in our DJ sets, creating some incredible moments on the dancefloor. The sound of this record is slightly different, and one we feel super excited about. We believe it shows a slightly different, much techuer and melodic side to our production. It's just the starting point for our music this year". Fur Coat.

Hard working and passionate, Fur Coat have had a string of successful releases since they first came onto the scene on the likes of Hot Creations, BPitch Control and of course Crosstown Rebels. Unearthed and championed by original Rebel Damian Lazarus, the duo released their impressive debut album 'Mind Over Matter' on the label in 2012.

Since the album dropped, the part have been called upon to rework legends such as Timo Maas & Robert Owens as well as hot newcomers Kidnap Kid & Joy Wellboy. Remixes are also forthcoming for Stephan Bodzin on Systematic and Ruede Hagelstein on Watergate.

Last year saw the talented duo appear at No 66 in RA's Top 100 DJs chart and 2015 is set to be another big year with an upcoming Balance compilation, alonside a massive worldwide tour and some very special projects that are yet to be revealed.

Fur Coat - U Turn EP (CRM131)

Venezuelan wonder producers Fur Coat step up for a triumphant return to their spiritual home of Crosstown Rebels armed with a solid stack of weapons to vamp up the dancefloor. Showcasing the duo’s most thoughtful and restrained material to date, the ‘U Turn EP’ is a deep and moody tour de force, technically on point and awash with hypnotic bleeps, dramatic tension and shards of vintage techno. Damian Lazarus has consistently hammered all 4 cuts of late and ‘U Turn’ has been a staple in the sets of the mighty Tale Of us for 4 months, debuting at Time Warp in Mannheim to heated speculation. Stylistically more heads down with not a hint of vocal, these are darkroom killers with the artistic essence of Fur Coat in tact.

“It’s very rare during a set that I have the choice of four absolute killer tracks from a forthcoming release and can’t decide which one is the best to play, so I play them all. This is one of those times.”

 - Damian Lazarus

 Fur Coat is one of the most hard-working and passionate duos in the business. On an endless quest for an original groove, irresistible hook and utmost production quality, their wildly successful releases for the likes of Hot Creations, Bpitch Control and of course Crosstown Rebels has ensured that the duo a weighty touring schedule and loyal following. Unearthed and championed by original Rebel Damian Lazarus, the duo released their impressive debut album ‘Mind Over Matter’ in 2012 on Crosstown Rebels

Since the album dropped, the pair have been called upon to sprinkle the unmistakable Fur Coat magic to reworks of legends such as Timo Maas & Robert Owens as well as hot newcomers Kidnap Kid & Joy Wellboy. April 2014 saw another landmark as the guys released their first original material since Mind Over Matter. 'Theres No Time EP' came out on the much hyped Hot Creations imprint from Jamie Jones & Lee Foss and is still getting hammered by some of the biggest players in the game today. Hot on its heels came 'The Right Move EP' for Ellen Allien's legendary Berlin imprint Bpitch Control, and featured the vocal talents of Jaw from DOP, again cementing Fur Coat’s name at the top of the industry.

DJ W!LD - Shape U (RBL016)

DJ W!LD is back, this time on Crosstown off­shoot Rebellion with a stomping summer anthem ‘Shape U’ featuring Cari Golden on vocals. The original fuses the solid punch of a club weapon with the laidback feel of poolside disco, while the Fur Coat Remake gives the track an entirely different sheen ­ all chugging disco bassline, dark synths and pitched down vocals. An aptly named WILDER remix and dub from the producer ties up an unmissable EP, already approved by dance music royalty Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1.


The prolific DJ W!LD is one of France’s longest serving underground house heroes. As part of the Cocoon family and as a Circo Loco resident, DJ W!LD under various aliases has released on labels such as OFF Recordings, Robsoul, and his own imprints Catwash Records and W including debut album ‘Palace’ in 2011. Second album ‘D!RTY’ landed on Cabin Fever last year.


Originally from Dijon, W!LD’s passion for graffiti, street culture, disco, funk and hip hop led him into DJing, taking his name from cult 1983 film Wild Style. Relocating to Paris in 1996, DJ W!LD was instrumental in the French house scene, pouring his energies into the city’s underground club community and later becoming a globally successful artist and fixture at the best international clubs and festivals.


Fur Coat have been blazing a trail since their mighty debut album in 2012 on Crosstown Rebels ‘Mind Over Matter’ ­ also featuring Cari Goldenon vocals on the massive hit ‘You And I’. The fast­rising Venezuelan duo have been remixed by TEED and have a single forthcoming on Crosstown Rebels.

Fur Coat Feat. Mel Blatt - Fall's Away (CRM107)

 

After the success of their debut album ´Mind Over Matter´ released on Crosstown Rebels earlier this year, Venezuelan duo Fur Coat return with ‘Fall´s Away’; one of the biggest cuts from the album which features the lush vocals of Mel Blatt and a killer pair of remixes from DJ Sneak and Just Be.
Deep warm pads, filtered toms and vocal chops open things up on the original version of Fall’s Away and after the introduction of a groove inflected kick and bass combo it becomes apparent that this one is going to be taking complete control of the dance floor. This notion is accentuated even more once Blatt´s soulful contribution enters the foray with its lyrical and vocal excellence.
On somewhat of a resurgence at present, house legend DJ Sneak does what he has done for the last 20 years and delivers a slice of up front house music straight out of the Chi-town text book. Fat kicks, swinging highs and a deep and driving low end are all in attendance, whilst vocal stabs and swirling samples lead to several hypnotising climaxes. Clubbers beware: this one is relentless.
Just Be aka Bushwacka steps up for the final remix offering and stays closer to the original whilst bringing an otherworldly vibe to the party, with eerie synth melodies and cosmic sweeps taking centre stage. An infectious builder, the track picks up some serious steam throughout and is sure to have dance floors shifting by the end.

Fur Coat - Mind Over Matter (CRMCD019)

Fur Coat explore the power of thought in their first album for Crosstown Rebels ’Mind Over Matter’ after a steep climb into mainstream consciousness.

Fur Coat are about that space where darkness meets the groove. Their combination of live vocals and psychedelic synths create dance floor magic. The Venezuelan duo was spotted by Crosstown Rebels head Damian Lazarus little more than eight months ago, and they have since been on lockdown to complete their first studio album.

Bringing together some supreme guest vocalists such as Mel Blatt of All Saints fame, the young NYC star Rap Lisa, Big Bully known for his previous work with Jay Haze, Cari Golden, Argenis Brito and Stee Downes, the result is primed for taking charge of the dancefloor at the end of 2012.

Fur Coat plant the colour of their own continent - ‘Interlude’ takes a sample from the Venezuelan talking clock - while adding their own twist from their travels and supernatural experiences in mind-bending cuts such as ‘Spirit’ and the anthemic ‘You and I’ featuring Cari Golden.

“Mind Over Matter is a way of thinking that we have. We believe if you think what you want and you visualize it you can get it, and with the power of mind you can overcome any obstacle. Our inspiration is life itself, traveling, eating, knowing new places, new countries, meeting people, our girls (my girlfriend & israel wife), art, cultures.” Sergio Muñoz (Delete)

Fur Coat is the brainchild of Sergio Muñoz (Delete) and Israel Sunshine, two fresh producers from Venezuela. Their first single ‘Space Ballad’ feat. Argenis Brito featured a huge remix by Totally Extinct Enormous Dinosaurs and kept all eyes firmly focused on the duo.

The worlds of Sergio and Israel collided in 2004 in their hometown of Caracas but crunch time came in Barcelona, summer 2010 when the pair decided to develop their sound collectively. Intent on making something fresh and futuristic, they work with shades of the soul, funk and disco music they share as influences.

Combined with the omnipresence of Latin music growing up, a formative cocktail of Giorgio Moroder, Larry Levan and La Fania All Stars and Salsa Brava led to a vibrant musical philiosophy and powerful desire to work their magic on the dancefloor.

Fur Coat (Feat. Cari Golden) - You And I (CRM092)

Venezuelan production duo Fur Coat is back on Crosstown Rebels, this time armed with the sultry West Coast tones of Cari Golden and bomb of the season, ‘You and I’. Calling in rising star Amirali for remix duty, this essential release has got prime Miami anthem written all over it.

The original ‘You And I’ has long been slaying dance floors at the hands of Damian Lazarus, cloaked in mystery until Art Department let the cat out of the bag at Mexico’s BPM Festival, cementing the track as highly sought after DJ weapon, and leaving ‘Fur Coat’ and those suggestive lyrics on everyone’s lips. A-grade addictive groove, ‘You And I’ is the epitome of deep and sleazy bassline house with the added distinction of Cari Golden’s velvety vocals building an allegorical story of chemistry and intoxicating love.

Exploding onto the scene this year is Iranian/Canadian producer Amirali, already winning over legions of fans with his first two tracks ‘My Way’ and ‘Beautiful World’ and about to secure his place amongst stars of 2012 with debut album ‘In Time’ – out on Crosstown Rebels this Spring. His sound, a heady mix of tech, funk and electronica, Amirali takes ‘You And I’ into a deeply emotive dream world of epic synth-laden melodies whilst Cari’s voice becomes airborne and ethereal.

Fur Coat have been buried deep in the studio of late, crafting their debut LP out on Crosstown later this year. If ‘Space Ballad’ and ‘You And I’ are anything to go by, it will be a seamless collection of tracks to feed the dancefloor all summer long. Growing up streets apart in Venezuela, Sergio Muñoz (Delete) and Israel Sunshine aka Fur Coat joined forces in 2010 after meeting on South America’s blossoming dance music scene and have together mastered the art of dancefloor sorcery.

Cari Golden is a classically trained musician from Los Angeles California where she works as a studio vocalist and songwriter. She began collaborating in the EDM world four years ago and has since had several critical successes with Pan-Pot’s Captain ‘My Captain’, DJ T’s ‘City Life’. With this imminent Fur Coat smash, Cari Golden could also be the voice of Miami WMC 2012.

FUR COAT - SPACE BALLAD (FEAT. ARGENIS BRITO) (CRM083)

 

Crosstown Rebels are immensely proud to present latest signing Fur Coat and their epic tech-funk odyssey. Featuring an absolutely killer remix from man of the moment Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs ‘Space Ballad feat. Argenis Brito’ is about to blow your mind.

A feast of funked up jamming, discoid transmitters and wonky tech wizardry, ‘Space Ballad’, featuring the extra-terrestrial vocals of Argenis Brito, is a twisted excursion to a parallel party universe. The chunky house groove and tricky weave of funk and techy kicks make for a thrilling cosmic ride that’s underpinned by a deep and dirty bassline. Fiercely championed by label-head Damian Lazarus, Fur Coat are about to mark themselves out as beacons of light in the Rebels stable.

In an almighty coup, Crosstown Rebels have snared one of dance music’s brightest talents to deliver a remix for the Venezuelan wunderkind. Bringing his innovative, boundary crashing style to the package, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs packs a bit more punch in the groove and propels epic soaring synths into a murky rave dynamic of gritty bashment beats and bass. TEED also lends his vocals to the second remix. The adventurous character recently travelled to the Congo in Africa as one of the personally invited producers to collaborate on Damon Albarn’s new LP project, working with local musicians for an album on Warp in association with Oxfam. After three magnificent EPs on the London/Berlin based Greco-Roman label, TEED’s next single ‘Garden’ is out in October and the highly anticipated debut album is expected early 2012.

Fur Coat aka Sergio Muñoz (Delete) and Israel Sunshine both grew up in Venezuela under the influence of old groove music from the funk, soul and disco era and 90’s jams as well as Latin grooves. Joining forces late in 2010 after their solo involvement in South America’s dance music scene brought their creative visions together, the Fur Coat project was born. The unpredictable nature of their evolving musical style will captivate the dancefloor but these gentlemen intend to transport your soul to another dimension. With an album in production and another EP on the way, ‘Space Ballad’ is just a taster for what’s in store.

Their debut single, Space Balled, features Argenis Brito on vocals and comes with a super cool remix by man of the moment and Crosstown Rebels favourite, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. Out at the end of September.
