Spirit Catcher are the Brussels-based duo of Jean Vanesse and Thomas Sohet, who are quickly becoming more and more of a permanent member of the Systematic family. After their debut EP Sedona in 2009 and their debut album in 2007 Night Vision on the English 20:20 Vision imprint, the duo have built up an impressive reputation as one of the finest and most influential nu-disco and deep house projects of today. Being aware of the fact that legendary jazz musicians such as Herbie Hancock and Quincy Jones, '80s heroes including Zapp, Prince and Chic mastermind Nile Rogers and Detroit techno veterans such as Juan Atkins and Derrick May have heavily influenced their youth, it is no huge surprise that they are able to produce authentic and fresh sounds: a feat that only a handful of other DJs can seriously achieve. Now it's time to enjoy Spirit Catcher's second album Partners In Crime on Systematic Recordings, an album that delivers a huge range of sounds from the crispy hybrid of '80s funk and electronica beats to groovy, deep-digging tech house rhythms.

"Who would have expected what happened with the Belgian Spirit Catcher duo after their early releases on labels such as Silver Networks, Missive, Winding Road and of course Moodmusic. The original Voo Doo Knight release on Moodmusic hit the shops in 2005 and it devastated floors all over the world with the result of catapulting Spirit Catcher into the big league of producers. After almost 4 years of constant touring and remixing, 'Voo Doo Knight' was still one of the highlights on their recent debut album Night Vision on 2020 Vision. So we thought it's time to re-vitalize this classic and asked the guys what they thought about the idea. 'Sure, let's do it -- we got a killer live mix of 'Voo Doo Knight' which we've been playing the past 2 years on our live show -- let's put it out!' So there was one side already scored from the guys themselves, what more can you hope for? Well, we got Spain's best kept secret, Wagon Cookin to deliver a mean, nasty and dirty workout which rocks the spots right on. Starting with breaky intro going into jacking analog territory with a lot of 'oomph' they're known for. This has been road-tested in the last months and it is absolutely rocking -- we could have expected nothing less actually!"
