***Where to begin? This one really starts in 1986 with a fifteen year old Felix Stallings Jr. in a studio with DJ Pierre finishing off Pierre's Phantasy Club's classic track "Phantasy Girl". A whole lot has happened since then. As Felix Da Houscat, Aphrohead, Thee Glitz, and Thee Maddkatt Courtship he has ran the gamut from pioneering the "Wild Pitch" sound with Roy Davis Jr. and DJ Pierre to the numerous techno classics on the labels of the world and 80's pop-drenched vocal material for which he is known all over the globe. Tracks on labels like Touche, Freetown, Guerilla, Bush, Global Cuts, Reload, Sex Trax, Emotive, Djax, Manifesto, Deep Distraction, ffrr/London, Soma, Nervous, Strictly Rhythm, Power Music, and his own imprints Thee Black Label, Radikal Fear, and, of course Clashbackk have shaped a style that is ALL Felix's. Tracks like "(Thee Lite) In The Dark We Live", "Cosmic Pop", "Submarine", "My Life Music", "Thee Morning After", "Strobe", "Thee Chaos Engine", and "Thee Dawn" have all established this cat's sound. His remixes for Pet Shop Boys, Phuture, Elegia, Harrison Crump, Giorgio Moroder, Black Science Orchestra, X-Press 2, Kylie Minogue, and Diana Ross have been cained incessantly on systems throughout the world. With six full-length albums and three mix CD's under his belt, Felix continues to dazzle and amaze all who come in contact with his music.

Fresh off the success of the electro-synth masterpiece 'Kittenz & Thee Glitz', which landed him as SPIN magazine's Top Dj for 2002, Felix resurrects his underground alter ego, Aphrohead, for this new full length release, Thee Underground Made Me Do It. With a mixture of straightforward house, sly electro, and percussive techno, Felix has created a release for the purists. Featuring the hit singles, 'Cry Baby' and 'Kazoo', The Underground Made Me Do It has already topped play lists from world renown djs Carl Cox, Roger Sanchez, Dj Dan, Juan Atkins, Mark Farina, Derrick Carter, and Terry Mullan, as well as landing licencing deals around the world for everything from a Hula-Hoop commercial to top selling mix cds from Moonshine, Ohm, BMG, Cream, and Bugged Out.

SHRIMPER
Artist: DUMP Title: A Grown-Ass Man
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 SHR139
Price: $12.00 Label: Shrimper
Release
Date:		 3/24/03
***Some of us know James McNew as the guy without the purse or penchant for Arthur Lyman from the Boston band Christmas, or perhaps as the snare-drum bassist for Yo La Tengo, or if you attended the Jodeci after party with that bitch-ass mutherfucker you been sweating on of late, you are probably more familiar with him as the auteur of his one-man band Dump. McNew has released a series of records, CDs and cassettes over the last decade for various labels, but has made Shrimper Dump's permanent home away from home, including Women in Rock CDEP, through, for the first time in half a decade, a new full length album. Take a seat please.

A Grown-Ass Man includes ten new cuts penned by McNew, three covers (The Isley Bros.' "Mr. Too Damn Good," Thin Lizzy's "Cowboy Song," and a duet with Sue Garner on Marvin Gaye & Mary Wells' "Once Upon a Time"). Between tours with Yo La Tengo, James will tour the coasts on his own by harvest time. Bring some Kleenex, emo kingpin, cuz these songs are going to have you growing streams of tears.

Artist: JOY Title: S/T
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 SHR133
Price: $12.00 Label: Shrimper
Release
Date:		 3/24/03
***Joy is a duo hailing from Boston, Massachusetts. Their debut CD melds idiosyncratic folk leanings with the best parts of Shrimper's two other Boston strongholds (The Secret Stars' succinct taste for pop and John Davis's otherworldly, wispy pop ruminations). Founding members Matt Savage and Daniel Madri have been playing together for over a decade, including their four years in eclectic quartet Godboy (Orange Entropy Records) and an ongoing presence in the more introspective and sonically experimental Jack McCoys (Ambiguous City Records). Vocalist Savage has been praised in the press for his ability to construct a beautiful narrative through creative manipulation of language, as well as an uncanny knack for serious yet unconventional melodic hooks, complemented by Dan Madri's equally noteworthy guitar textures and tones.

Joy's first record offers up vulnerable and frank home recordings, for the most part is stripped of any garnish, making the songwriting the focus of this self-titled debut. The eleven songs here herald a soft, subtle return to the fundamentals of pop music. That is not to say, however, that Joy isn't above working in strategically overdubbed thuds and warbles, experiments in fidelity, and surreal lyrics.

Joy will be performing shows on the east coast to celebrate the record's release, opening shows for Thalia Zadek, The Secret Stars, and performing some side dates on their own. There will be scattered dates across the states through the summer. Bless its tiny little head that the band's name is not "The Joy."

TIGERBEAT 6
Artist: NUMBERS Title: Death
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 MEOW069
Price: $6.75 Label: Tigerbeat 6
Release
Date:		 3/24/03
***This collection of all-star remixes of Numbers' debut album, Life, is diverse, dynamic, downright rocking and enjoyable in a way remix albums seldom are. The remixers try to outdo each other either by improving on the originals or reinventing them by adding not just new rhythms and synthesizers but in many cases new vocals and completely new musical sections-- all faithfully inspired by the Numbers aesthetic.

Highlights include: the full-throttle dance-rockabilly remix of "Driving Song," by recent Depeche Mode remixer Electronicat (Disko B, Angelika Kohlermann); the New Order-esque take on "Prison Life" by GD Luxxe (aka Gerhard Potuznik of Mego, Cheap Records, Ersatz Audio, Interdimensional Transmissions); Kid606's rock-steady reworking of "We Like Having These Things" into a hands-in-the-air dance punk anthem; Original Hamster's fittingly all-over-the-sound-canvas drill-and-bass remix of "Human Replace"; and Kit Clayton's original and inspired take on the Numbers' theme song "Information."

30-second RealAudio excerpts:

"Prison Life (GC Remix)" - Gold Chains
"We Like Having These Things (Williamsburg Address Remix)" - Kid606
"Driving Song (Crash Remix)" - Electronicat
"I Have a Headache This Big" - Stars as Eyes
