Aphrohead
Grown Man Cryy
Crosstown Rebels
Sure, 'Grown Man Cryy' may likely qualify as techno to some, but nevertheless, this is a masterful, towering, throbbing anthem from Felix Da Housecat, under his Aphrohead guise, for his old mucker Damian Lazarus's Crosstown Rebels. So we're going with it. There are echoes of Green Velvet here, with his freaky spoken word, but that's just a handy reference point. This minimal madness is all his own. There's a mix from Carl Craig, laden with noise and bubbling funk, but Housecat's original is just untouchable. Sorry C2, you've been upstaged for once. Thoroughly essential.
