-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nooncat is back with a masterpiece, an album filled with captivating and strong sounds. He made an
incredible work and it’s a pleasure for us at Dilek Records to release this amazing double vinyl edition
full of surprises and quality tracks of our Russian friend, Alex Meshkov. It also includes an astonishing
interpretation of the musical giant, Mathias Schaffhäuser, boss of the well known German label Ware.
Enola is not only a dance or electronic record; it incorporates many influences and a long awaited work of
an artist with great rhythmic sensibility. It's very much an album to be listened over and over, discovering
always something different that will lead you to a new interpretation. Enola is a highly personal work,
with the ups and downs of the artist's life.
From the year 1999 Alex creates music under the name of Nooncat, his personal musical project.
Nooncat's smart and neatly true tracks have been released on many European labels such as: Trapez,
Treibstoff, MIS and Trenton just to name a few. In 2004 the Moscow "16 Tons" club awarded Nooncat
with the famous "Golden Gargoyle" as the best dance project of the year. He plays from Minimal to
Techno and Tech House with deep influences and a light touch of melodies, having skills with no
boundaries and a true musical talent. Now is the time to discover his new work and he’s definitely
releasing again, just listen and you’ll discover his universe.
Track by Track:
"A1 Yoji (Original Mix)": This track is about fusions of sounds, patterns and heavy bass lines. It’s a very
effective track with screaming and pumping melodies. It’s perfect for a dark room invaded by some
discrete strobe lights, or a sweaty after hour.
"A2 Gugela (Original Mix)": This one starts gently until these sexy, intriguing sounds and effects enter the
universe of this work. It has a feminine influence like its title and some impressive beats as well as a
delicate mixture of groove and technique.
"B1 Yoji (Mathias Schaffhäuser Remix)": This interpretation is offering you something different and
another vision of this track. It has a sweet melody and it’s the ideal change of the darker original version,
to a main floor smasher.
"C1 Ksion (Original Mix)": These sounds are full of feelings and captivating structures. It’s a rainbow in
the middle of a rainy forest of melodic patterns and discrete notes all together combined in an intense
track, ideal for a warm up.
"C2 Nyaako (Original Mix)": Old school influences mixed into an effective track for the middle of your
set. It has a real atmosphere and gives a different touch to this album with some bleepy sounds and a
surprising break, we totally love it.
"D1 Enola (Original Mix)": This one surely has some groove in it and a sensual sound structure with
some lightly jazzy influences. It’s the more house orientated track of this album and gives it a fresh touch.
"D2 Woody Man (Original Mix)": Now something darker and electronic to end this album. It has a sci-fi
atmosphere and delicate breaks. It’s definitely mysterious and will really get into your brain, slowly
ending with a heartbeat.

Yoji is not really mine. Don´t like the distorted sounds,
but the remix from Mathias is very good with these spacey
keys and pads! Gugela - love it - this is Noon(at - deepness
from Russia! Nyaako has pumpin---Berlin-dance-endless flavour!
