Like much of pop culture, house music moves in cycles, different sounds and styles coming in and out of fashion every few years. In the past 12 months, the cycle has resolutely stopped at the sound that Frankie Knuckles and Marshall Jefferson brought to Chicago in the 1980s. Diva vocals, stripped down jack tracks and the TB-303 are all back in style, largely a rebuke of the aggro "electro" sounds that have come to dominate our airwaves. At the pinpoint of this revival is Wolf Cub of Leeds-based crew/label Transmission Collective), who, as a whole, are doing more than just [...]
As if Bondax's "Gold" wasn't sultry enough, Transmission Collective member Wolf Cub has taken his signature chords and Chicago-leaning house vibe to the Lanacaster duo's latest hit. Whereas the original is a slick, stuttering affair, Wolf Cub's "Muscle Mix" is centered around a smooth piano melody and a re-appropriation of the original's percolating synth work. It's one of those songs that could just as easily soundtrack a day at the beach as a sweaty subterranean dancefloor. Wolf Cub (and Transmission Collective as a whole) is churning out hit after hit and should certainly be named alongside Bicep, Waze & Odyssey and other Chicago house [...]
Bondax Gold (Wolf Cub's Muscle Mix) The popularity of Bondax's Gold cannot be denied, with extensive radio play and support from almost all camps. To take on the task of remixing such a belter is no mean task; fortunately, Wolf Cub's efforts are more than sufficient to both do the original justice and to make [...]

Here's an EP from London's Fat! Club. Ranges from delicate downtempo to upbeat house. Free download via FB. The EP opens with Pale, who've previously appeared here . Winder is another of those lovely clicky downtempo, almost 2step tunes. Origins Sound are more house driven and less interesting. DE$IGNATED offer some pleasant funky house with an electronica edge. Moe's My Name is too R&B influenced for me. Finally, Leeds-based Wolf Cub (previously here ) with Kerouac which is a tad too disco house for me. Pale's Winder is the real keeper here. [...]

Since founding their own label/group Transmission Collective earlier this year, Maru , Wolf Cub and Kahwe have been rolling out brilliant production after brilliant production and establishing themselves as a formidable force in the UK's increasingly retro-leaning house scene. With groups like Disclosure and Bicep storming the charts, one has to ask if there is any point in referring to this type of house music as "902s" or "retro" anymore? As a response to the garish, blow your load, synth-heavy shit on the radio, this more organic sound has become prevalent in the [...]
Aussie psych pop quartet, Wolf & Cub, have a new album in the works that should drop sometime next year. They have a new track they are sharing to get y'all pumped. You can hear it below. This is Salao. Dig.
With the promise of a new album in 2013, Australia's four piece Wolf & Cub are ready to reveal a sample of what lies ahead. ‘Salao’ - the band’s third single release in 2012 - is an awesome display of thick, muddy riffs and echoey psychedelia made complete by some classic pop flourishes. Recorded and produced by the band at Sydney’s Linear studios and mixed by Burke Reid, ‘Salao’ refers to Hemingway’s ‘Old Man and the Sea’ definition of the Spanish-derived slang: ‘unlucky’ or ‘jinxe
Adelaide boys Wolf & Cub are back with a freakin great new single, 'Salao'. Some swaggering sing-a-long 60s vibe rock'n'roll. The fellas are set to launch their new album next year. Pretty keen! You can grab the single over on iTunes or bandcamp. ... Miks
About a month ago we had a house track from Wolf Cub from the Leeds-based Transmission Collective. Wolf Cub is back with a new two-track EP out on Monday. Listen to an exlcusive track. Fat! Records have kindly given me an exclusive of a full track for you to listen. Roland Garros is either named after the French tennis site or the French World War 1 fighter ace. Either way, this is another slice of quality house, giving respect to the classic house of the past. It bounces around delicately flaunting its disco background. [...]

Wolfcub Forste Dear Wolf Cub, I don’t know who you are, but I like the way you bark sweet nothings at me in the form of jazzy hi-hats and full-bottomed drops. Gives me a head rush. We should totally hang out sometime…or something. Call me. xo, Dre Wolf Cub | Soundcloud | Transmission Collective
