Virgo Blaktro and the Movie Disco

Released in 2007, 'Virgo Blaktro and the Movie Disco' represents a pivotal moment in Felix da Housecat's career, marking his first studio effort after the massive success of 'Devin Dazzle & the Neon Fever.' Recorded across Barcelona and Antwerp, the album is a self-described exploration of 'black roots' within the context of electronic music. Felix intentionally moved away from the starker, whiter sounds of the electroclash movement he helped pioneer, instead drawing heavy influence from Prince, Sly Stone, and George Clinton. The result is a concept album that functions as a bridge between 1970s funk and 2000s tech-house. Critics, including those at the BBC, noted the album's shorter, punchier track lengths and its shift toward a more soulful, song-oriented structure. While it retains the signature deadpan vocal delivery of his previous work, the harmonic palette is significantly warmer and more organic, cementing its place as a sophisticated evolution of his sound.
