Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 013EP

"The prolific Mr Fairley drops 3 of his latest concoctions on Dumb Unit, and the leading track is a club stormer. 'Boozing' is a riff laden techno number with a squashy main synth line that modulates throughout the track and delivers and accessible and heavy club track. There are 2 more cuts on the flip, of the deep techy variety, minimal synths, clean sub bass lines and deft production deliver these polished and quality tracks from Mr Fairley, check."

Title:	Night Stick
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 014EP

"Let's just say this is one mean mother of a track off one mean mother of an album. A gianormous onslaught of crisp thick and fat analogue warmth set to hot rock shuffle with trademark Jake edge through and through. There are those that try to rock and then there are those that succeed and this time Kake sinks the boat ...Take that and add 2 smoking remixes by 2 artists at the top of their game; Metope and Pan/Tone, and what you get is a ep that hits harder than a fat greasy linebacker .. Super size it ..."

Title:	Touch Not the Cat
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	DU 016LP

German-only vinyl version (CD is on the Paper Bag label in N. America). "A gianormous onslaught of crisp, thick and fat analog warmth set to hot rock shuffles and driving techno with trade mark Jake edge through and through. Managing to find grooves, hooks and energy in the most unusual places , Touch Not the Cat Demonstrates Jake's strength not only as a techno programmer but also as a first rate producer and songwriter. In the era of cold flat recordings Jake's studio knowledge and passion for heavy hitting sounds is a much needed respite. Touch Not the Cat is an intricate and precise yet somehow more direct and uncompromised album, one that will no doubt send minimal computer wimps running for their mothers. Warm, full and fatter than a bus load of North American tourists Touch Not the Cat is an album that demonstrates the diversity of today's music as well as Jake's uncanny ability take it farther than most can imagine..."

Title:	Animal Love
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 019EP

"Heavy building songs of epic chords and sound washes over some of the fattest analog bass around. Mix this with Jake's syncopated distortion and smart drumming and what you get is smooth, strong dancefloor mayhem. A1 'Racoondog' is an epic anthem in the tune of Mad Max ... imagine dirty future ravers wearing crazy fur outfits holding torches and having sex and I think you'll get a good picture ... gritty low rumblings mash into a strong reverbed sound wash that chugs away until the sun comes up. B1 'Catsquirrel' is our idea of what modern music should be. Strong, dark, catchy and a bit twisted. Jake manages to create a modern pop burner without need for over-used one finger melodies . Instead Jake builds his song into layers of slow growling bass that converges slowly until it smacks you in the face and steals your wallet. Response to his most recent lives sets have had an overwhelming response -- 'Catsquirrel' is sure to be a household pet very soon."
