ADULTNAPPER - Feat. Big Bully - Hazy Lazy
Culprit CP008 :: Release date: 15.09.10

Underground house and techno veteran Francis Harris, aka Adultnapper, and LA born and raised, Big Bully, are welcomed into the Culprit fold for the label’s ninth release. Culprit delivers another unique first on these two tracks with the pairing of Adultnapper and Big Bully, a collaboration that unites two artists with extensive musical pedigrees.

Though both Big Bully and Adultnapper have often been associated with moodier and darker sounds in their careers, it’s very clear that both artists have more than one side to their musical personalities.

On this release Adultnapper gets deeper and funkier than you may have heard him before, while maintaining his immaculate production values and commitment to the dancefloor.

Just in time for Spring, Three's Label Hallucination will be releasing a sampler of four beautiful tracks by himself with Sean Q6 as Second Hand Satellites, Sycophant Slags, Robbie Hardkiss, Seth Troxler and Inxec including remixes by Zev and Eddie Richards.

Simply put we are thrilled to present The Godfather of Tech-House Evil Eddie Richards on the mix of what we feel is Mr C & Adultnapper aka Sycophant Slags best work to date.... "Dharma Fields". Eddie takes the haunting melodies and what is now signature Sycophant Slags production "Dharma Fields" and really conjures up a moment on the dance floor. The groove doesn't quit as it leans into a acid-tinged tech house vibe while keeping the moodiness of the original in tact . One of the Slags' favorites. The timeless original is featured on Three's label mix CD Three : Hallucienda.

SYCOPHANT SLAGS :: Keep Off
Poker Flat White 06 (12") :: Release Date: 05.02.10

a :: keep off
b1 :: keep off (reboot remix)
b2 :: keep off (wighnomy brother’s detroittobrieflyshort-ulle Remix)

A very special partnership indeed occured between NYC‘s Adultnapper and London‘s legendary Mr.C. Entwined in a musical romance that spans the great continents, Sycophant Slags is the outcome of this very special twinning of minds, and ‚Keep Off‘ their latest gift to the world! The release comes complete with 2 huge remixes from Reboot and The Wighnomy Brothers. Prepare for a monster 12‘‘.

In its original version ‚Keep Off‘ is a tricky, trippy slice of modern underground house. Tight, clean and superbly produced, the track becomes a vessel for the catchy vocals of Mr.C, who‘s unique flow and ‚Sky‘s The Limit‘ refrain lift the track into a stand out cut operating on its own higher level. Clearly a serious bomb from these two, we‘re sure this will be the anthem of many a long night - Sycophant Slags are here and there‘s no point in trying to hide!

SYCOPHANT SLAGS :: Keep Off Video - The Video

An inspired partnership indeed occured between NYC‘s Adultnapper and London‘s legendary Mr.C. as a love for all things musical and a passion for kissing the proverbial ass of the rich and famous drew them together, across an ocean of doubt, to form The Sycophant Slags. As a result, we are blessed with their latest gift to the world, "Keep Off". The release comes complete with 2 unforgettable remixes from Reboot and The Wighnomy Brothers and a stunningly twisted video by New York director Ariel Danziger.

ADULTNAPPER :: Monitor
Lion1 Music (12") :: Release Date: 18.01.10

a :: monitor
b :: monitor (mkl vs. bgss rework)

Adultnapper's original mix of "Monitor" is a minimalist, atmospheric house outing with warm, evocative piano chords. Percussive and synth soundscapes wash over the groove adding a stylish textural dynamic.

ADULTNAPPER :: Almost Nothing
Audiomatique 038 (12") :: Release Date: 11.12.09

a1 :: almost nothing (patrick chardronnet remix)
a2 :: almost nothing
a3 :: white fingers black hair
a4 :: almost nothing (patrick chardronnet\'s 2nd remix)

"Almost Nothing" is a complex and reduced spacer that features wonderfully processed drums and endless tweaked out studio trickery. Haunting smatterings of melody, synth texture and paranoid-funky vocals drop in and out of the mix as this deep acidic groover charms you from the inside.

Poker Flat regular Patrick Chardronnet provides a wicked remix that begins along the same reduced, textural tip as the original, yet builds into a breathtaking organ led harmonic climax. Dramatic, uplifting and main-room friendly Chardronnet\'s remix opens up the spectrum once again as Audiomatique continues to surprise.

EARLY FEEDBACK ON "ALMOST NOTHING":
Martin Landsky: “white fingers is wicked...i like the groove and the trippy synth work... the trademark patrick chardronnet remix is cool, too... 4/5”
Joel Mull: “Fantastic Release!! All tracks are great. i prefer Mr.Chardronnet remix Lovely piece and cant wait to play. Music Sun rays just brightened up my room here in Dark winter Sthlm. :) 5/5”
Oliver Huntermann: “cool single. don´t know if i prefer the chardronnet mix or the original of almost nothing. will play both! 4/5 ”

BEATPORT FEATURES RANSOM NOTE :: ADULTNAPPER\'S LABEL

In the digital age, it’s always great to find newer labels that focus so much attention on overall quality and conceptuality. Adultnapper’s ‘Ransom Note’ imprint is a fine example of this, with releases that always feature incredible cover art, conceptual storylines, and of course… incredible music. Ransom Note has never tried to match the chart topping formulas simply to sell music, but has stayed true to an original concept, which is to push the boundaries of modern dance music, and tell a different story than most. We love this label, and recommend checking it out for yourself.

VVWI recordings is pleased as punch to welcome New York\'s greatest electronic export to our strength.

Adultnapper AKA Francis Harris has worked hand in glove with esteemed VVWI stalwart Mr C (as "Sycophantic Slags") for many years and has single-handedly produced many, many a rocking tune under the Adultnapper moniker to great underground acclaim all over the world.The Adultnapper take was an intentional invitation to bring a darker edge to the mix. He retains the original loose and organic percussion work, but infuses it with a deeper and murkier undercurrent, completing a package of mixes we are very proud of.

ADULTNAPPER :: Compass Rose
Nummer Schallplatten 31 (12") :: Release Date: 14.09.09

a :: compass rose / b :: lugubrious

a :: compass rose:
beware. when adultnapper is at the controls, what often starts out innocently enough as a thick dub rhythm, proves, by the end, to be something entirely more nefarious. on compass rose, adultnapper is up to no good again, wooing the listener with gently pulsating kicks and snappy hats before foreboding tidbits of well placed noise that open the door for an insistent pad rising ever so slowly from the nether regions of
consciousness. like the onset of a migraine, the groove tightens around the pad until it\'s mass obliterates all else... and then, just like that, it melts away to reveal a sweet melodic surprise that is sure to unleash a wave of euphoric emotion on the dance floor.

b :: lugubrious:
file under surrealist sci-fi soundtracks for the club. rich with strange atmospherics, listening to lugubrious evokes scenes of barbarella xploring
an yves tanguy landscape, only our heroine had better hurry back to her ship before that sinister sounding synth catches up to her!
