Feliz da Housecat – devin dazzle & the neon fever
The 2nd wave of chicago dance was here in the 90′s… electro-clash to the head, long before this album came out. But there is something about this record that makes me wanna dance. It was 2004 and Felix was still able to mix disco, 80′s italian pop, distorted guitars, and electro beats and do amazing dance tracks. rock on.
“Devin Dazzle & the Neon Fever [...] might actually bring some young dance freaks over to the rock world, since it relies heavily on the jagged guitars, rubbery basslines, and candy-coated choruses of new wave. One thing that has remained constant is Felix‘s predilection for concept records that play out like B-movie soundtracks”
“it’s a fully realized record — it’s of that rare breed in which the least exciting tracks at least help carry the listener along. If label executives of 1982 were brought to the present day, they’d hear at least six singles here. Cap the whole thing off with a finale that would make any Italo-disco producer proud, and you have a third successive Stallings full-length that tickles all the pleasure receptors.”
