about

Unicat #11 is an EP of remixes/demixes/interpretations of Loooooongish Cat and Mc Guru’s ‘No.55’ EP. Featuring a motley crew of artists and producers, this release takes the trip hop foundations of the original tracks and sends them through hyperspace into the Nth dimension of avant-garde hiphop, noise, and minimal dub. The cover artwork is Mc Guru’s interpretation our titular Unicat mascot as a Tibetan influenced uni-tiger.

About No.55

In a Heuristic way — for project No. 55 — songs, insightful words and painting suddenly bust out from nothing. A Cyborg cat accompanied by bardic swoon musically soothes the Soul. From miasmic mists on into persona and from the sublime womb of femininity step-out people penetrating a dance that imbues the scene with masculine goodness. Opposites coalesce giving breathe to heavy dancing light as “project No. 55” celebrates Beijing-grown music art by Loooooongish Cat and Mc Guru.

Musical influences include early nineties hip hop and drum and bass. Almost all of the tracks were recorded using a vintage Boss DS330 drum machine and Eowave Domino monosynth to get a warm retro tone, while Mc Guru’s vocals were hauled off to the Loooooongish Cat’s tape lair and run through circuit bent cassette players, half broken tape loops, and reel to reel recorders to create a tapestry of magnetic ghosts swirling around the listener. Welcome to No.55.

Mc Guru

Joshua Kinney paints making collage, using mildew canvas, and directly onto picture frames. He is inspired by abstract expressionism and classic Chinese ink. As a Massachusetts native who visited Jack Kerouac's grave, Josh writes poetry but less smartly. His stage name is Mc Guru and he likes to perform spoken word, shakuhachi, unrehearsed harmonica, and with half-broken KTV mic. Especially when there are break beats or wub.


Loooooongish Cat

Since the summer of 2020, the glitch’d out tape mashing techno beats of Loooooongish Cat have been swirling around the dance floors of Beijing and beyond! The Loooooongish Cat demonstrates what can be done with a pile of old cassette tapes, a 4/4 drum beat, and some old video game samples. The Loooooongish Cat takes no prisoners, so get involved in the feline fine party!

Roy Sinklair

A Danish producer who has a vague connection to the obscure '70s Liechtenstein doom drone band DAF1989. Dislikes emails, terrible person to have around in a knife fight.
