(en) So a label starts 4 years ago in the dirty slushy streets of post 2000 Toronto. The label boss is sipping beer in a shit hole of a bar and for the fist time hears jake playing to about ten people, five who are past out drunk at tables. They meet up at the bar to throw back something strong and after a few slurred insults the rest is history. Four years on Jake rocks stages across the world and his trusty label boss still writes these stupid press sheets .. So what's this about then.. On October 11, 2004 Jake Fairley will release his first full-length in over two years. TOUCH NOT THE CAT , a mean mother of an album. A Gianormous onslaught of crisp, thick and fat analog warmth set to hot rock shuffles and driving techno with trade mark Jake edge through and through. Managing to find grooves, hooks and energy in the most unsual places , TOUCH NOT THE CAT demonstrates Jake's strength not only as a techno programmer but also as a first rate producer and songwriter. In the era of cold flat recordings Jake's studio knowledge and passion for heavy hitting sounds is a much needed respite. TOUCH NOT THE CAT is an intricate and precise yet somehow more direct and uncompromised album, one that will no doubt send minimal computer wimps running for their mothers. Warm, full and fatter than a bus load of North American tourists TOUCH NOT THE CAT is an album that demonstrates the diversity of today's music as welll as Jake's uncanny ability take it farther than most can imagine...
