Craig Bratley featuring Danielle Moore
PLAY THE GAME
Magic Feet / MF017
12 Inch
Northern disco general and machine music lover Craig Bratley is back with a firing new EP on his own Magic Feet label. It features one track from him with Danielle Moore from Crazy P, plus a remix from Andrew Weatherall and one from Heretic. Bratley operates on the freakier end of the disco dancefloor, with weird electronics and raw jacking grooves propping up his analogue sounds. He has released on Andrew Weatherall s Bird Scarer, has put out a fine album on Tsuba and hosts his own kaleidoscopic show on Leeds KMAH Radio, so is an accomplished artist and DJ indeed.
Sales Information:
Says the artist, the track is a response to [Bratley's Bird Scarer single] Obsession, the subject is ambiguous - is it an ode to someone or to the darker side of clubbing?
The excellent Play The Game is an arresting track with tough drums and percussion and a thick arpeggiated synth that is angsty and dirty. It is expertly offset by the libidinous vocals of Danielle Moore as a thin drone and frazzled pads grow louder in the mix.
Intense and steamy, it is a real chugger for the floor.
The master that is Andrew Weatherall then flips the cut into one of his typically tasteful ten minute affairs. Dubbed out, long legged and perfectly poised, it is more cosmic in his hands, with trippy molten melodies and explosive guitar riffs adding real macho menace to the groove.
Heretic is Timothy Clerkin, one half of the Eskimo Twins, and his version is equally unique. Tense and prickly, with slapping hits and chopped up vocal, it is a ravey monster designed to make you sweat.
This is a standout package with three varied and vital disco bombs all packing a massive punch.

This EP is absolutely a MUST! Lovely, fantastic, amazing, Weatherall-istic, Heretic-istic! Defo playing and supporting!
Justin Wilson (No Strings Attatched)
Absolutely love this - Already received Andrew's and Heretic's remix which have been going down rather well. The original proving just as tasty.

The original for me! Chuggy has become a dirty word, but this track has all the ingredients to chug away and stand above the rest

Id!r (Mange_Moi / Clouded Vision)

Timothy Clerkin (Heretic / Eskimo Twins)
Obvs I like it ;)
Neil Parnell (Tronik Youth)
weatheral mix for me
Bill Brewster
Craig played me this ages ago and I liked it a lot. Don't think the mixes, good as they are (and obviously Andrew's will help sell it), add anything that wasn't there in the original.
Matt Walsh (Turbo)
Another excellent release from Craig's camp.
Billy Scurry (Dublin)
Nothing really to say about this, apart from fuck yea!!
Justin Robertson (none)
fabulous
Arnaud Rebotini (Blackstrobe)
Super EP !
Duncan Gray (Tici Taci)
For me, the original is the winner here. It's really got that "Obsession" feel, which CB is allowed to do as he invented it. Andrew's mix is cool of course, quirky as fuck. Tim's remix large but perhaps a bit less me. Either way, will be supporting this release. Thanks.
Pete Herbert (Studio Bancal Bancal / Reverso68)
This is superb!
Richie Rundle (Slugrave (Beat Hotel))
Another amazing release from Magic Feet. love it all. Richie - Slugrave
