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 always a Unicat party also doubles as a release show for one of our compilations which is released on cassette and digitally, with the first 50 guests getting a cassette for free. Volume 6 continues the trend of awesome that previous Unicat tapes have set down; producers in the Middle Kingdom, both Chinese and foreign, contributing original material that is both eclectic and exciting. Like previous compilations Vol.6 takes you on a journey with one of Vltra_U’s original floor thumping productions, a lush ambient soundscape courtesy of thruoutin, some mellow synth laden goodness from Arctic Ox, and some off kilter electro jams from Guangzhou based producer aDeAD. Meanwhile the artwork which adorns this release and the accompanying promo material is one of most iconic Unicats yet, designed by Japanese artist Kayoko Yonaga. Based in Tokyo, her style effortless blends traditional Japanese woodblock print style illustrations with contemporary pop and underground culture; her reimagining of the Unicat has a vengeful samurai is the perfect example of this.




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，Unicat派对也同时作为我们其中一份集锦的发布展，我们的集锦以磁带和数字形式发布，前50位嘉宾将免费获得一盒磁带。卷6继续牛逼的趋势，以前的独角猫磁带已经设置下来;中国和外国的制片人，贡献了折衷的、令人兴奋的原创材料。与之前的汇编一样，Vol.6带你踏上一段旅程(尽管很短)，其中有Vltra_U原创的地板音乐作品，由thruoutin提供的葱绿的环境音景，一些柔和的合成音乐充满了来自北极牛的精华，以及一些来自广州的制作人aDeAD的失真电子音乐。与此同时，装饰这一发行和伴随宣传材料的艺术作品是迄今为止最具标志性的Unicats之一，由日本艺术家Kayoko Yonaga设计。在东京，她的风格毫不费力地融合了传统的日本木刻版画风格插图与当代流行和地下文化;她重新构想的Unicat有一个复仇的武士就是一个完美的例子。
