OUT NOW: Geck-o & D00d ft. Mesloes – Trick Me
POSTED 16th January 2019
Geck-o & D00d join forces again for an extremely eclectic single, mashing blues with psytrance and distorted kicks with trumpets and organs! Our own trickster Mesloes guides you through the track with her voice, and sings a mesmerizing melody that will stick with you forever...
To max out this release, 'Geck-o's Rave Edition' keeps it straight for the dancefloor with a retro touch, and the 'Chaos Collision Remix' showcases D00d aka Wavolizer's new drum and bass project with an insane and immersive reinterpretation. Finally, to make the original that bit easier to mix with, a 'DJ Version' is also included.
The fantastic cover art is by Mesloes as well! Wonderful.
Out now on all streaming and download platforms!

The Funky Cat #6 will bring a taste of Japan… cute but creepy!
POSTED 24th August 2017
The Funky Cat will be back on Friday the 6th of October. This time with a Japanese touch... cute but creepy!
Geck-o -- One year after the release of his Alien Sound System album, there's lots of new music to present. Leading the way for The Funky Cat, he keeps looking for new musical realms to explore, introducing and surprising his audience. Surrender to the waves, and you'll find yourself dancing to a deep psychedelic journey.
Chris One (SE ~ cross-genre set) -- From Sweden, we have Chris One bringing an intense blend of many styles. Expect him to go through a tasteful selection of darkpsy, hardtechno, industrial, hardstyle and many other genres like they were always meant to be combined. Having a long history with Geck-o, dating back to the earliest Theracords days, we are happy to introduce him to our Funky Cat!
bitface -- Not only the key figure in organising the event, but also a brilliant selector of the best underground dance music. With his next-level transitions, he always manages to add new dimensions to the tracks he's mixing. Expect him to bring a broad selection of music you've probably never heard before.
Pietro (vinyl set) -- As a true crate digger, Pieter Vis will open the night with a special vinyl set. We know him for selecting the greatest gems, pure and with soul.
Sloperij Janssen (Japan special) -- If we can trust someone to shake things up a bit... ;) Prepare for an insane intermezzo with the cutest, creepiest and outright fucked up shit from Japan. Smashed up, thrown in a blender and pushed over the top before it reaches your ears. Can you dance, or does it leave you nailed to the ground in awe?
Photronics -- Our favorite Niels Verkaik will bring his guitars and hardware effects to do a wonderful ambient live performance in the chillout area.
