Felix da Housecat really brings it with his newest release He Was King. His notoriously distinct & exciting electro-pop beats shine like diamonds in every track on the album. We recommend bumping this through a good system or set of headphones. The cheap ones that came with your ipod simply ain’t gonna cut it for these nasty beats. Overall the album exudes a type of sound reminiscent of the 80’s club scene (think: NYC club kids circa the movie Party Monster), but with a more modern vibe placing the album perfectly into the 2000s. The bass in the track “Kickdrum” simply owns, escalating into a complete overload sure to get your ears & bodies thumping. The vocals deliver in a crisp & distinct way throughout the album without being lost behind the mesh of intricately layered highs & mids (check out the track: “We”). “Plastik Fantastik” delivers something worthy of being played on a runway in a D&G show. Need something to bump during afterhours? Give “LA Ravers” a listen. Hard bass & wickedly twisted high beats will keep you partying til the sun comes up. From beginning to end this album tears it up. Definitely an album worth having handy for the party on a Saturday night.
