Spirit Catcher

After our last absolutely superb podcast (even if we do say so ourselves!) from Mark E rocked the party, this week we've got Belgian smooth house maestros, Spirit Catcher.

In their own words "Spirit Catcher have become one of the most in-demand house acts, gracing the finest underground labels with their polished future disco sound. But to those who know them, Tom and Jean are simply a pair of misfits looking for life and love between the keyboard keys and the automated faders. Two kids born into the sounds of the seventies, then immediately grabbed by the cruel talons of music and doomed to seek solution in the groove. Luckily, through the help of well-meaning record labels such as Silver Network, Freerange, Winding Road, Missive and Moodmusic, we can all listen in to the frenzied disco workouts through which they exorcise their murky pasts."

We've loved tracks like Key Generator, Planet Deep and their mega remix of Silver City - Another Dimension for ages, there's something about the thick groovy bass that no-one else seems to be able to recreate. They are currently really busy on tour in Japan, but they took some time out to put together a great mix for us, and a wee bit less time to answer some of our questions...
