{TRACK LISTING}
Side A-1: Ancient Pond (DJ Spun Remix)
Side B-1: Ancient Pond (Original)
Side B-2: Electric Sheep (303-capella)

"Can a dance track unfold like a classical Japanese Noh theatre performance? El Gato # 9 challenges us to consider that notion with his track 'Ancient Pond'. One gets the feeling that this is the framework for a medieval Japanese ghost story. El Gato weaves this silken tapestry, utilizing a classic Japanese haiku, deconstructing its elements and mixing it with a solid bass-line and exotic instrumentation. 'Ancient Pond' and its remix both feature this supernatural sensibility, full of exotic and unpredictable moments. The original track introduces us to Matsuo Basho's haiku 'Furuike ya' ('Ancient Pond'). Textured waves and ghostly ambience, plus a set of twisted effects, all create a mysterious tension.

The remix by LA/NYC-based producer, DJ Spun (Rong Music) transforms 'Ancient Pond' into a heavier and slightly slower version. Gone are the funky elements, replaced with hard-hitting beats and percussive layers. But the exoticism is still there, and just as vibrant.

For good measure, El Gato takes us to his dystopian future in 'Electric Sheep' - a Philip K. Dick inspired lysergic acid ambient bath. Maybe you are the android listening to the wonderfully lush and intricate use of 303s. This is the mind-blowing analog framework for an upcoming release on Bloo Neko Recordings."
