Michael Morph has been busy readying his much-anticipated
album for Pure Mint, and here is the leadoff single Go Cat
Go!.
Built around a mirth-making robotic voice intoning the familiar lyric from rock 'n' roll
standard, 'Blue Suede Shoes', this catchy fidgety electro cut almost recalls Daft Punk in
its skilful use of a simple-yet-deadly computerised vocal. With plenty of freaky noises
and an absurdly infectious pitching bassline to satisfy the headz, this is a welcome
return to the fray from somebody tipped by all the dance press as a DJ/producer to
watch.
Theres a big remix package to go with this beauty. Morph himself turns in a dense,
warped-bassline beast of a house remix, that bridges the gap between Radio Slave and Fake
Blood. The re-fix of 'Go Cat Go!' by The Fix takes it down a hazin and phasin technoid
route, making good use of top-end percussion and a rasping electro bassline.
DJ Hal crafts a clicky, intricate, illuminating minimal
rework that you can imagine lighting up Berlins Panorama Bar, whilst Videodrome
soundscape an electro-funk meets Italo disco groover. Finally, newcomers to the scene
bNiteNoise /b] turn in a remix that most resembles the originals vibe, employing the
computerised vox to full effect and fashioning a great noisy electro-breakbeat track out
of the parts.
Morph originally cut his DJing and production teeth in
Nottingham, before relocating to Brighton on the south coast. Hes played alongside the
likes of Groove Armada and the Plump
DJs , from the Glade stage at
Glastonbury to Matter in
London, and had his tracks and remixes played by a selection of top radio and club jocks,
from Laurent Garnier and Dave
Spoon to James Lavelle and
Annie Nightingale on Radio 1.
