The legend is returning. It’s been years since we’ve heard new original stuff from the Chicago stalwart DJ, Felix Da Housecat, and this March he gives us a touchstone of his forthcoming album with the Sinner/Winner EP out on NYC imprint, No Shame, on the 18th of next month. The EP fills the void that Felix’s absence caused, incorporating his universal ability to make listeners genuinely feel the love for House music. As a cherry on top, fellow CHI legend, Green Velvet, will also be providing a remix of the title track for good measure, but we’ll have to wait to hear that one. Looking forward to catching a set at one of Felix’s 3 Miami appearances next month.
London based dirty dancers we’ve got some exciting news: After a £1million facelift, Brixton’s legendary venue formerly known as The Fridge is re-opening, this time as Electric Brixton. The club launches on Saturday 24th September, with sets from Felix Da Housecat, DJ Hell, Hannah Holland, JoJo De Freq, Tom Starr, and Keith & Supabeatz. Early birds have already gone on sale and you can grab those here.
Over the coming months Electric Brixton will be hosting a weekly party from the Get Loaded brand, as well as shows from M.A.N.D.Y, Japanese Popstars, Gilles Peterson, Stanton Warriors, and Kissy Sell Out.

We are proud to announce our partnership with the world-wide party concept and brand name, We Love House, created by Deejay Booking. The first French edition of We Love House will take place this Saturday (June 11th) at the world-renowned Queen Club in Paris, France. The event is set to have an impressive opening with a lineup featuring house legends and tech-house heavyweights alike: Felix Da Housecat, Pleasurekraft, and Dan Marciano.
The 3rd installment of the wave consists of some groovey jams that went over very well last friday when i played @ the Vanguard with Miike Snow. They are timeless, and sure to take you to your special place. Get these on your hardrive and make some sweet sweet love. If last weekend included And-1-ravin’ in some sort of wacko outfit, these feel-good numbers should settle your post-Halloween juices nicely.
“The Wave consists of hand-picked gems that inspire us, tickling and tempting our creative juices. Some are old, some are new, but it is what we are listening to now. They are groovy, flowing, and sun-kissed just like that perfect wave. They are uplifting and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. They sound the best with a babe in one hand, a cold brewski in the other, and the sand beneath your feet. Stay Dreamy.”
Avaland will be celebrating its 6th birthday this Saturday at the Avalon in Hollywood, and they have been kind enough to give away a pair to 2 of you dirty dancers. Legendary Chicago DJ Felix da Housecat will be headlining the event, along with Avaland resident DJs Droog, Cameron van Peebles, Steve Prior, and The Music Savages.
This giveaway will work a little different than our usual ones. All you have to do is CLICK HERE and fill out their form, and they will announce the winner sometime on Friday.

Nu-disco fans rejoice! Back in April, we featured remixes from the talented duo of Anthony Ross and Mezzir. If you liked their remix of Franz Ferdinand’s “Ulysses”, you’re going to fall in love with San Diego-based Grey Ghost, Anthony Ross’ new side project. Grey Ghost’s carefully crafted arpeggios and phasers set from stun to kill are sure to please the fans of French veterans Fred Falke and Lifelike. Gotta Dance Dirty™ is proud to present exclusive Grey Ghost remixes of Felix da Housecat’s new single, “We All Wanna Be Prince”, and Passion Pit’s “The Reeling”.
p.s. Thanks to the staff of El Dorado, Villains, and especially DJ Groundfloor for showing me such a good time last night in San Diego. Cheers!
