PTY LTD’s second album, ‘Enticer Deluxe’, carries through the class and freshness of their debut album ‘You Should Be Like This More Often’ with 14 new tracks guaranteed to prove that the band’s appeal is definitely unlimited. Featuring guest vocals from Latrice Barnett (JJ Hernandez, Miguel Migs) on three of the tracks, ‘ENTICER DELUXE’ travels a range of soulful styles combining house, slow groove, rocked out funk and atmospheric dancefloor excursions. The first single release from ‘Enticer Deluxe’ is "Make Amends”. Already a huge crowd pleaser live, the track follows up their ARIA Top10 Club hit, “Trying To Leave”, with remixes by UK’s Crazy P., Blade from Jestofunk and Craig Obey, all of whom remixed “Trying To Leave”.
PTY LTD’s first steps began in 2001 with an EP called “Liquid Sunshine“ which brought about their first leap into the international music scene after US DJ JT Donaldson saw them performing in their hometown Brisbane. Two tracks from the EP, “Who’s been Watchin’ You” and “Feeling Is Gone”, were remixed and released on two 12” singles through US label Gallery Records with remixes by Donaldson, Derrick Carter and DJ Joshua.
PTY LTD started with style and have not eased up since. After releasing the critically acclaimed debut album ‘You Should Be Like This More Often’ at the end of 2003, PTY embarked on a mini world tour touching down in cities including Kathmandu, Tokyo, LA and Chicago, where they played open air parties and club shows. Two singles were released from the album, “Treat Me Like That” and “Elevator Lovin’”, the latter remixed by Italian DJ, Blade from JestoFunk, became a favourite of renowned US DJ, Danny Tenaglia, after he heard the remix while playing alongside Blade in Naples.
Over the last four years, PTY LTD have become the major exponents of soulful house on the live front, touring regularly and appearing at a number of festivals including; Good Vibrations, Woodford, The Falls, Parklife and KissFM’s “Kiss My Grass”. During this time PTY have played alongside a number of overseas acts and DJs including Moloko, Dimitri from Paris, Mark Farina, JJ Hernandez & Latrice Barnett and Crazy P., who remain big fans of the band along with a dedicated following locally and internationally.
Blending ol’ skool and nu skool with classic soulful vocals, PTY LTD were recently described by music site ‘In The Mix’, as “a bomb of pure soul with a dash of funky disco” following support sets with Crazy P. on their recent Australian tour. PTY LTD stake their claim as one of the most exciting and distinctive acts on the scene - live they re-inforce the point and on ‘ENTICER DELUXE’ they step up and deliver yet again.
