Felix Da Housecat
He Was King
When Felix Stallings, Jr. attempted to bring in P-Funk-flavored sounds with 2007’s Virgo Blaktro and the Movie Disco, moving away from his successful electroclash style, his intent didn’t exactly pan out like he had hoped. Here, it seems, the Chicago DJ/producer finally finds the perfect balance of electronic pop, dreamy synths, and a splash of nu funk grooves.
Stallings (better known as Felix Da Housecat) has built a legendary space for himself in the world of house music, and his 10th studio release, only solidifies his position. The album opens with the dance floor gem “We All Wanna Be Prince,” an ode to the artist himself. Comprised entirely of lyrics from Prince songs, Felix takes on the sound of the enigmatic singer, doubles it with high-pitched songstress Nesh, and creates a pulsating, sexy beat that’s as irresistibly dance-friendly as it is beguiling in its cheeky tribute.
Just as exciting is the piss-take titled “LA Ravers”
