New release out on 12" for Wolf + Lamb Records
US imprint Wolf + Lamb has risen to prominence because they are unafraid to bring the tasteful funk sounds of the early 2000s back to the dance floor. The label's tenth release comes from Maayan Nidam, the former Miss Fitz and mostly explores jazzy downtempo except on the leadoff cut, "Isitin", which is a fairly standard deep house track. The detour is unexpected and may catch some fans of the label off guard with a retro sound that cleaves to the old Guidance Recordings template, and can only be recommended for those who miss or missed out on that particular scene.

Wolf + Lamb label tour hits Detroit and Chicago this weekend!
Saturday night the guys will play a loft party in Detroit before heading to the windy city on sunday to play a full on raging day party. Here is a press release for the Chicago day party. See you there!
TOP PICK RECOMMENDED PARTY BY NEWCITY CHICAGO MAGAZINE
The New York cool merchants at Wolf + Lamb have found their tender treatments of techno, deep house and disco an in-demand commodity, and it’s hard, exactly, to figure out what they’re doing that makes them so successful. Because honestly, their releases tend to be clever, gently textured exercises in efficiency and groove, sonically making the most out of the least, while staring at the sun and heading towards the light, as opposed to their jet-black German counterparts. Is it the juxtaposition of their bleeding-edge style and unabashed optimism that makes them truly unique, or at least catchy? If so, it’s quite fitting to welcome them back to town for a Sunday afternoon affair, featuring a DJ set from Gadi Mizrahi (half of the founding duo behind the group, label, party, brand, or whatever else Wolf + Lamb happens to be or become) and a live performance from No Regular Play. Gadi, to his credit, isn’t afraid to push what he feels as a DJ, often chilling things out, pitching down as if pouring sickly sweet syrup on the record to, say, play pop disco at sunrise way out in the middle of nowhere in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert during last year’s Burning Man, or Michael Jackson’s “Off the Wall” at peak time at a loft party in Chicago back in November. Sure, it’s probably won Wolf + Lamb as many detractors as fans (Wuss + Lamb?), but there is no denying what they do well—spoon-feed jaded hipsters sunny music without a hint of irony. Seriously, that’s got to be harder than snake-charming with an accordion. And No Regular Play definitely follows suit, most recently with last fall’s “Owe Me” EP, which showcased all the right (hand-clap and synth) moves to accompany their deep, deep grooves. It should be a rare treat to catch this up-and-coming duo performing their tracks, and perhaps a few sneak peeks, too. So shake off the hangover and get out of the house. March might have gone out like a lamb, but this Sunday is coming in like a wolf. Additional deck support comes courtesy of local techno talent Phillip Stone and of course “surprise guests” (hopefully not DJ Partly Cloudy With A Chance of Rain…nobody wants that). (Duke Shin)
April 25 at The Apartment, 2251 N. Lincoln, (773)348-5100, 2pm-10pm. $20.

Initial Blog Post! Welcome to the Wolf + Lamb Music Blog
Wolf + Lamb are two electronic music artists/DJ’s from Brooklyn NY. They also both release music under their own names Gadi Mizrahi and Zev Eisenberg. They are label owners as well as successful party throwers from their famous home base venue and home “The Marcy Hotel.” The music they create is non commercial dance music. Their market is very niche market. They have a very particular sound which is a mixture of deep house, minimal techno, disco and pop re-edits. Their music can be described as weird, funky, dark and sexy but has the opportunity to appeal to a much wider audience with their pop- edit’s they have been putting out which have included remixing Michael Jackson, MGMT, and Fleetwood Mac to name a few. The sound of the label is very unique when compared to other dance labels and they are definitely becoming trend setters. Wolf + Lamb’s market is definitely product driven where the focus is on their music. They have help built and showcase their music by throwing parties every summer at the Burning Man festival with large LED light art installations. They also have been able to showcase their music from their acclaimed home/loft/party venue the Marcy Hotel where they have some of the best dance parties in the US that sometimes will go on for over a day. Wolf + Lamb showcase their sound through DJing where they have played countless sunrise sets to afterhours crowds who seek to go on a unique musical journey of weird and sexy music. They showcase many of their DJ sets through their website podcast which will also be linked on this blog.
The buyer persona that Wolf + Lamb serves to is male and females ages 18- 35 who want something outside the norm. Their music appeals to people who like to be different and not follow mainstream trends. Their main market for sales is in Europe since this is where dance music is more widely accepted than anywhere else in the world. Listeners of Wolf + Lamb can buy their music digitally through their website (http://www.wolflambmusic.com/) or through digital stores like Itunes and Beatport which is the largest outlet for digitally purchasing electronic music. One thing that is unique about Wolf + Lamb is they print their music on Vinyl as well so it is very DJ friendly and caters to that niche market of people who like to collect or play vinyl records.
