about

Unicat Attack! is a series of electronic music parties which combine live performances and DJ sets, with each event also being a release party for a compilation of original electronic music on cassette tape and online streaming platforms.The whole thing is themed around unicorn cats with each event and tape adorned with a different version of the unicat created by a guest artist. The aim of Unicat Attack! is to create a fun, playful event which introduces new and interesting types of electronic music to different audiences and gives DJs and live artists an opportunity to reach new audiences.

As per usual a Unicat party also doubles as a release show for a cassette and digital EP compilation featuring original electronic music by China based producers, including artists performing at the event. Vol.5 features'Dub For Extinct Birds' By DJ Boring, a pumping avian groove in the heart of a lush rainforest of funky bass lines and shimmery pads; ‘ANIT’ By Dizzy Di, a cool and spacious trip hop MPC jam that will please fans of Massive Attack and Portishead; finally a track from Guangdong-UK transplant and longterm Daftpop collaborator Last Boss, one of the most prolific producers the Unicat is lucky enough to have in its orbit, who this time shares the frantic orchestral breakbeat meltdown of 'Thread Threat Theatre 2’.

The artwork for this cassette and the event’s poster was created by the brilliant Chandoso, who’s idiosyncratic characters and witty social commentary can be found in zines, galleries, and bars across Beijing, including Side Street and Zhujingban. Only 50 of these cassettes will be produced and some of this tracks will be cassette only so don’t miss out on completing your Unicat collection!

独角猫攻击!是一系列结合现场表演和DJ组合的电子音乐派对，每一场活动都是在卡带和在线流媒体平台上发布原创电子音乐的派对。每一场活动都以独角兽猫为主题，胶带上装饰着一位客座艺术家创作的不同版本的独角猫。独角猫攻击的目标!创造一个有趣的活动，向不同的观众介绍新的和有趣的电子音乐类型，并让DJ和现场艺术家有机会接触新的观众。

和往常一样，独角猫攻击!的派对还同时举办了一场发行活动，展示由中国原创电子音乐制作人制作的盒式EP专辑，包括在活动中表演的艺术家。第五卷磁带的特色是DJ Boring的《Dub For Extinct Birds》，这是一个在繁茂的热带雨林中心跳动的鸟类槽，有时髦的低音线和闪闪发光的衬垫;《Tina》由Dizzy Di，一个凉爽和宽敞的旅行跳MPC果酱，将取悦大规模攻击和Portishead的粉丝;最后，从广东迁到英国的和脑波普长期合作的Last boss，是独角猫攻击!最多产的制作人之一，幸运的是，这首歌将与疯狂的管弦乐队崩溃的《Thread Threat Theatre 2》分享。这盘磁带和活动海报的艺术作品是由才华横溢的Chandoso创作的，他独特的性格和诙谐的社会评论可以在北京各地的杂志、画廊和酒吧里找到，包括小街和驻京办。这些磁带将只生产50个，其中一些曲目将只是磁带，所以不要错过完成您的独角猫攻击!收藏!
